Priss Starwillow & the Wolf, and Other Stories

In addition to tales in the Tsuga Kingdom, featuring Priss Starwillow and her handsome black wolf, enjoy this eclectic mix of genres, characters, and worlds in this pretty collection of thirteen stories from the author of The Starlight Chronicles paranormal romance series.

The first time they meet, she pelts him with bunchberries. The black wolf would suffer the sticky mess an entire day if it meant listening to her sweet laughter and the soothing sound of her wings… but he has a job to do. ~ Priss Starwillow & the Wolf

Meet the giant Greek god Tityus in his underground grotto, horribly bored from endless torture and looking for entertainment. Be moved by a historical glimpse into the life of an inventor inspired by Civil War Aeronaut Thaddeus Lowe. How about a cannibal comedy with a ferryman taking a group of serial killers to a masked party through an eerie swamp? You will adore the Kassian dragon Mareduke who encounters a toddler alone in the woods, though Eliana is more than she seems. You can ride a giant pineapple into a lost world. Dive into a whodunnit with the unlikeliest miniature murderers. You’ll even meet a pair of Oscar fish trying to get fed while this mundane household chore keeps getting interrupted by a stranger wielding a butcher knife.

There is a little something for everyone in this collection, touching on many fascinating characters and worlds inspired by writing contests and challenges and their unique genres and prompts.

Priss Starwillow & the Wolf

I love this short story! The setting is incredibly immersive, the characters are well fleshed out and captivating, and it got me wanting more. Great writing wraps everything together perfectly. “His eyes found hers again.” Also, I have a huge crush on Sam now.

Goodreads review

This series has amazing world building! The second book expanded on the lore, and we got to know the secondary characters better, making the found family vibe from book one even stronger. I loved it!

The MCs spent some quality time together, too :D There was more danger and action in this book compared to the previous, and I enjoyed that as well. Lots of exciting things coming in book 3, so l’m off to read that asap!

Amazing

I cried, I laughed, and I was angry. The ride was so worth it! This series was my introduction to reading this genre. I have found this to be some of the best writing, story telling and follow through on all character paths of any prior reading of any genre.
