Book One ~ Prequel

Cozy fantasy meets writerly chaos in a world where enchanted quills have opinions—and characters refuse to stay on the page.

Jaedyn’s a writer living in a cozy cottage on the edge of the In-Between. Her life is overflowing with fluttering manuscripts and more unfinished stories and ideas than she has time to write. She’s determined to finish at least one story, maybe five. Except the universe has other plans.

When Rowan—a hero straight out of her abandoned epic fantasy—knocks on her door, Jaedyn’s writing life goes spectacularly sideways. He wants his story finished, with a proper ending—and maybe a love interest or two.

Jaedyn insists she’s busy with way too many other books to write. Rowan insists he’s more than a figment of her imagination. He knows things he shouldn’t—about the quill, about the stories she’s left unwritten. And if a fictional character can walk out of her manuscript and into her cottage… maybe her stories aren’t as imaginary as she thought. Maybe her imagination is trying to tell her something.

Between a determined fictional hero, a snarky Pomeranian named Riley who has opinions on just about everything, Midgi, an adorable baby dragon who breathes mist instead of fire, and a magical quill with ideas of its own, Jaedyn’s about to discover that in a world where stories spill off the page and characters refuse to stay put, sometimes the line between writer and character isn’t as solid as it seems. 

Book Two ~ Portals & Possibilities

Jaedyn’s writing world is in total chaos. She’s a writer living in a magical cottage in the In-Between—a story realm where baby dragons puff lavender mist, her Pomeranian, Riley, offers snarky opinions, and unfinished stories hover like orphaned pages.

When Rowan—a hero from her abandoned epic fantasy—uses her enchanted quill to write his story, things go a little sideways. One swoosh of cosmic ink later, Midgi, her tiny purple dragon, tumbles through a portal into the depths of Jaedyn’s half-written worlds.

Jaedyn has to rescue Midgi from a story-verse full of story fragments and characters clamoring for their own books. Worse, the Department of Narrative Police is threatening to shut down all her stories unless she produces outlines.

Jaedyn insists she’s a pantser and pantsers don’t do outlines. Rowan insists he should step in since he has plotter energy. Maris, a time-traveling, dimension-hopping librarian, arrives with Dewey, her plotter Pomeranian, to try to resolve the plot leakage and stabilize the story-verse. Riley’s head over paws in puppy love. Rowan’s long-lost love interest steps onto the page and offers to help write the story.

With story threads spiraling and characters from half-finished stories popping in through dimensional doorways, the portal malfunctions, bringing in an evil sorceress searching for the Codex—a powerful artifact that can rewrite reality. As characters from stories she’s never written appear, Jaedyn realizes her story might be unraveling faster than she can plot it. (Not that she ever plots. But… still.)

Midgi has decided to write a book about runes and portals. He’s calling it The Multiverse of Maybe. Jaedyn must decide if she’s the one holding the quill—or if the story has a mind of its own.

Book Three ~ Dragons & Detours

Jaedyn just wanted a nap after all the portal chaos. But in the In-Between, even naps come with plot twists.

Golden orbs drift mysteriously through her cottage, Midgi is practicing fire-breathing skills in the garden with Zephyr, and Rowan has declared himself fire marshal. To make matters worse, Typo has slipped through a portal and is gleefully scribbling chaos across Jaedyn’s manuscripts. Plot bunnies multiply faster than she can chase them down.

As if that weren’t enough, Markus appears, brandishing the Ink Weaver’s Quill, determined to prove his quill is better than hers. Maris returns to her Library of Infinite Threads to make sure the stories are in their proper places. Allie and her angel dog stop by to just say hi. Clippy starts singing oldies songs from the laptop.

Maggie, an enchanted baker, reports three baby dragons have escaped a pet portal in her world and are wreaking havoc in a suburban shopping mall—splashing in the fountain, getting stuck on the escalator, trying on sunglasses, and eating nachos in the food court. Midgi pleads for an off-the-page adventure because these baby dragons are his people.

Jaedyn must rally her maybe-not-so-imaginary epic heroes, librarians, bakers, angels, dogs, and dragons to mount a rescue. Riley, Jaedyn’s snarky Pomeranian, and Dewey, her doggy soulmate, travel as emotional support dogs in a magical backpack. What could possibly go wrong?

Jaedyn, naturally, gets sidetracked in a bookstore. Midgi has figured out how to get store credit and is on a shopping spree. Syllia, an elven bard from Rowan and Karina’s world, appears with her lyre harp and her soothing dragon-song to lure the baby dragons home. Because sometimes a detour can either unravel a plot or is simply a story that veers a little off course that wants to be told.

Book Four ~ Threads & Timelines

Jaedyn thought she finally had things under control. She was wrong. Her quill has gone missing somewhere in the story-verse. Her old Smith-Corona typewriter is writing cryptic messages. Timelines are tangling in knots and even the grandfather clock seems to have a hidden agenda.

Help arrives—sort of. Janus, a time weaver, steps into the story with offers to reweave the story threads. Risa, another librarian, Ben, a barista who just happens to be a physicist specializing in quantum entanglement, and Brownie, their Pomeranian, arrive, bringing troubling news—an evil wizard has escaped from their world.

Maris, the dimension-hopping librarian, reports the Library of Infinite Threads is in imminent danger because someone—or something—is messing with the stories. Books are missing, timelines are unraveling, and stories are writing themselves.
When an evil wizard, and his even-more-evil apprentice, go in search of the Codex, reality is in danger of unraveling and being completely rewritten. Alaric, keeper of cosmic knowledge, follows them through the portal. Willow, guardian of an ancient library, appears in her shape-shifting form as a fluffy gray cat to protect it.

And there’s another problem. Maggie has disappeared, seemingly vanished into an echo of a parallel reality, leaving only a trail of cookie crumbs.

Midgi is having the time of his life. He’s getting so many ideas for his Multiverse of Maybe book. Unless Jaedyn and her not so imaginary cast of epic heroes, librarians, bakers, time travelers, baristas, shape-shifters, dogs, and dragons can untangle the threads of the stories, everything may come undone.
