Produktbeschreibung

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. They form an irresistible bond with Gustopher, a baby gargoyle in need, setting off on a thrilling 3-day adventure to rescue the creature and reunite it with its rightful owner. 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. To ensure Gus's safety, Nico and Brant must quickly learn how to nurture (what do gargoyles eat, anyway?) and safeguard their newfound charge. Fortunately, their journey leads them to encounter Remi the vampire, an eccentric cheese guard from Wisconsin, and Jasper, a seasoned traveler, who faithfully accompanies the renowned Manley Cup, the cherished trophy of a championship hockey team. Together, this peculiar quartet must combine their unique talents navigating both gargoyle-raising and crime-boss hunting. As they traverse the mountain metropolis of Multnomah, their hidden secrets gradually come to light, forging unbreakable bonds and solidifying their motley chosen family. And in the midst of it all, Gustopher surprises them with delightful…qualities, adding an extra dose of astonishment everywhere they go.

Autorenporträt

I'm a country girl who was raised by race car drivers. I was a lightning designer for 7 years, then worked in Health/Healing in various capacities for 7 years. I ran a side business selling unusual, sexy sassy parasols for 2.5 years. I've done personal home organization, run a charity bake sale where I bake over 50 pies every Fall, and now I'm writing a book about my time as a cigarette and candy girl on the streets of San Francisco.
Basically, I'm good at many things, and like to apply those skills in new challenges.
I'm a bit awed that I wrote a book, but this idea had haunted me, literally, for 7 years, and WOULDN'T let me rest. I believe strongly in obeying the creative spirit if it keeps knocking you upside the head.
Cheers!
In other news, I live in Berkeley, CA.
