What would you do if you found a rare magical animal? Nico, who has just begun passing as a transgender man, relishes the quiet life working as a bonsai bodyguard. But during a chance encounter one night amidst the aftermath of a territory dispute, he meets Brant, an excitable, good-natured cookie guard, and the two strike an instant friendship.

As they set out on their mission, the mismatched duo encounter predicaments unusual to new foster parents. Unscrupulous enemies lurk in the shadows, eager to exploit Gustopher on the black market. In order to ensure Gus's safety, Nico and Brant must quickly learn how to nurture (what do gargoyles eat, anyway?) and safeguard their newfound charge.

Autorenporträt
I was born in a lightning storm, the heavens themselves opened up that fateful Friday the 13th -- no, too dramatic.It was a brisk September day -- no, too boring.I didn't ask for the curse of the redhead, but it was given to me regardless -- no, save that line for a future character.Look. I'm a writer who can't write a biography, okay? There, I admitted it. I like pumpkin pie, paper crafts, bicycling, tomfoolery, shenanigans, and all things corny.I've loved literature for what feels like eons. I think in sentences. My happiest place is either couch, or couch, or writing. I feel like less of a writer and more of a vessel.My first novel, Stockings Required, was born in 2013. I thought I was done with novel writing. But as it turns out, 10 years later, I am releasing Book 1 of a cozy adventure trilogy.If I go bicycling past you, shout my name and I'll ring my bell.
