Trans man Oisin traded his dead name to the fairy queen in exchange for his wife's health. Now his wife has left him, the fairy queen wants revenge, and he's trapped in a castle with a very cranky, very hot monster.

Every Monday, share a snippet from your story that includes magic. This week's prompt is alchemy. Let me see those bubbling cauldrons and arcane science!

KJC + EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THE END
Scotland, 1925: a thief, a sorceress, and a demon hunter travel to England to steal a demonic grimoire.
The thief and the sorceress enjoy a steamy affair, but he pines for the hunter. As feelings clash, betrayals threaten to become apocalyptic.

Scotland, 1925: a thief must steal the English grimoire that started the apocalypse.
If he refuses, he’ll be hanged for past crimes. If he succeeds, he’ll hold the most powerful book in the isles… one that might destroy him.
He still has time for an affair or two.

Scotland, 1925: a retired thief, a sorceress, and a demon hunter travel to England to steal a demonic grimoire before it can start a 2nd apocalypse.
The thief wants glory. The sorceress wants respect. The hunter wants an end to a lifetime of fighting.
They're all in love.

I spent the morning photo editing and updating a few candle listings, so The Old Guard and Lord of the Ring candles are back up!
I didn't expect learning candle making to come with a side of photography lessons. Also typeface lessons. Sooo much time looking at fonts.

Stede smells like earl grey tea and orange marmalade.
Ed smells like yummy lavender soap and a fresh sea breeze. Both are fresh, clean, and crowd pleasers.

12:He seized a candy tin and nearly dropped it with instinctive revulsion. Chocolates tumbled out in soft crinkles, and with them, a heavy iron medallion. Gavin knew better than to touch it.

I’ve acquired two cats this way, both seniors. My current girl greets me every day when I get home, loves pets so much she drools on me, and snores next to me at night. She’s done so much for me.
