Welcome to Halfling House: An Urban Fantasy Novel (The Briarmoor Chronicles, Book 1)

Ellie, a former Greek Goddess known as Eleos, has left the Greek Pantheon to live in the mortal world, where she raises Halflings—outcasts of the magical world. Her household includes a fiery witch, a toddler dragon, a fae child, and a temperamental teenage bogeyman, creating constant chaos in the form of spilt milk, giant sunflowers, and random spot fires. With help from Clara, the first Halfling she adopted, Ellie navigates life between the mortal and magical worlds. When a new Halfling arrives, a figure from Ellie's past emerges with plans to destroy the newborn. Though trusting others does not come naturally to this immortal goddess, she must learn to protect her family from those who wish they did not exist. Ellie and her household face everyday challenges alongside extraordinary magical battles while uncovering mysteries about their town, Briarmoor. The story features found family themes, diverse magic and creatures, slow-burn fade-to-black romance, and LGBTQIA+ representation. This book was a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards in 2024.
