Big news today: The Carousel Capers collection will be available for purchase in April!

Newsletter subscribers may already be familiar with my short story series, The Carousel Capers. (And if you aren’t a subscriber, you can still sign up now to read the Capers for free!) These stories take place shortly after Red, a down-to-earth alchemist with a strong case of wanderlust, finally settles down in smalltown Belville. She expects to make and sell her potions in peace. But then a strange little horse statue shows up on her doorstep, and mayhem follows . . .

Each story in the series focuses on one horse statuette and the mythological horse it represents. So far, newsletter subscribers have encountered a kelpie, a cheval mallet, a wind horse, and even the famed Sleipnir. And when the horses are combined, a bigger mystery still will be solved.

The Carousel Capers serve as a prequel to Red’s first novel-length mystery. They give insight into the characters of Belville, including a certain belligerent police officer and an over-enthusiastic book seller. Plus, the stories dive into magical horse lore: what could be better? (Not much, in my opinion!) 🙂

And never fear–if you are a newsletter subscriber, you’ll still get to read the stories online for free. But the official collection will bring all those stories together, and include a few bonuses too!

As you read this, I’m most likely hard at work compiling the stories and formatting them. Stay tuned for news about preorders and the official release date–and get ready for lots of light-hearted fun.
