Because It’s Funny

On a frontier planet, land is cheap. So is your life.

Tom Savage is intent on homesteading, and Phaethon is the newest planet open for colonization. Here, technology is lacking in many places. And for 200 credits, anyone can claim one square kilometer of prime farmland.

But Tom has a secret or two. He is not interested in farming crops, at least not at first. Tom wants to harvest pieces of Phaethon’s sun.

To do so will mean first reaching his stake out near the desert, surviving human predators along the way, bringing fugitives to justice, and dealing with the resident sand dragon population.

All in a day’s work for your local star farmer…

A grumpy ghost. A quirky artist. In one enchanted town, love — and the past — refuse to stay buried.

When Ivy Castillo returns to Moonriver Cove to restore its crumbling magical mural, she expects cracked paint — not a sarcastic ghost trapped in the wall.

Ezra Dorian was the town’s brooding historian before a curse turned him into pigment and plaster. Now, every stroke of Ivy’s brush brings him closer to being real — and closer to stealing her heart.

But as the mural reveals long-buried secrets, Ivy uncovers a dangerous conspiracy in Moonriver’s enchanted history. To free Ezra, she’ll have to face meddling witches, gossiping gardens, and reconnect with her own magic.

Perfect for fans of Practical Magic, The Great British Bake Off, and cinnamon-sweet love stories.
Mature but not explicit, each novella in the Moonriver Cove collection can be read as a standalone or in any order.
