Fractured Forest Fairy Tales & Folklore

One missing human, three meddling fairies, and one introverted gnome wrapped up in a cozy fantasy. One gnome's peaceful existence gets complicated... after three sisters involve him in a murder mystery.

Ziggy Poppin isn't your typical scavenger. He's a quirky industrious gnome and turnip hauler who supplies veggies for his sister's pub and grill in Thimbleville. When Zig isn't scouring for trinkets at the humans' midden in the wee hours of the night, he 'borrows' from a farmer's vegetable patch like it's a free-for-all open market. But picking the cream of the farm's crops abruptly halts when the owner mysteriously disappears.

Zig's peaceful life implodes after three demanding fairy sisters storm his attic. In desperation, poor Zig makes a bargain, agreeing to support their investigation into the human's disappearance in exchange for priceless fairy tears. Unfortunately for Zig, he's about uncover hidden secrets that forest kinfolk would rather remain buried.

This cozy fantasy with a touch of dry humor follows the efforts of an unwilling garden gnome turned amateur sleuth and three busybody fairies. Together, they must solve a complex crime caper with a twisted fairy tale flare. There be faun and fracas, troll and trouble, fae and foul play while one simple gnome seeks to regain his normal existence.

For audiobook lovers who enjoy fantasy novels with magical mischief and low-stakes fantasy.
