Author's Notes

I love the idea of “cozy fantasy.” The idea comes from the “cozy mystery” genre (think “Murder She Wrote”), where there’s a fun adventure, but no real danger of anyone being killed or even seriously injured. Series like Pratchett’s Discworld fall firmly into the “cozy” bucket, I think, and of course Travis Baldree’s Legends & Latte’s set the modern tone for the genre. It’s all about a somewhat gentle adventure, discovering new friends and a new place in the world, and fairly, as Baldree puts it, “low stakes.” A quick, fun read, in a world I’ll definitely revisit time and time again. After all, the quiet village of Northe Pointe Common Towne has a lot of folks to introduce!
