✨ Special editions · Official merch · Mystery boxes ✨
Come for the books. Stay for the characters.
Collector-worthy special editions, official plushies and merch, and mystery boxes for readers who love their favorite worlds a little too much. Meet a few of the scene-stealers:
The Blackthorn Point Mysteries New
Gus
A gloriously grumpy Maine Coon who's convinced he's a distinguished magical familiar. Cozy paranormal mystery, a café, and a suspicious number of dead bodies.
"For the record, I solved it on page forty. Nobody listens to the cat."
The Magic of Dragons
Zephy
Kayla's fierce, bookish red fire dragon at Theridon Rider Academy, where dragons choose their riders. Swoony, slow-burn YA fantasy. Now 12 inches of huggable dragon.
"One dragon is quite enough. Especially if the one is me."
🐉 Welcome to the dragon cave

Meet the author
Hi, I'm Laura! 👋
I love dragons, romantasy, sweet small-town romance, and all things in between. Being a self-confessed mood reader has made me a mood writer too, so there's a bit of everything here:
This is my store, where I sell special edition books, mystery boxes and exclusive gifts (like custom-made plushies!). I'm thrilled you're here. Have a look around, and if you don't know where to begin, take the quiz and get some recs!
Gus, the grumpy Maine Coon, was designed by me.
Our character stickers are drawn by my talented niece, Hazelzanut.
Fairy Tales Reimagined is co-written with Jessie Cal.
