SHORT STORY COLLECTIONS

Step in.
The forest has been expecting you.

Here, bread is baked for the soul rather than the stomach, and glistening jam unites rivals. Tiny stars grant wishes that slowly unmake the world, and a marketplace blooms once a year, where creatures trade in stolen human dreams. Beneath the roots, a feast waits . . . and not everyone who finds it can leave.

These are stories about what we cannot hold onto, and what holds onto us. A love measured in stolen dawns. A child who must usher in the dying of the year. A woman whose kindness for goat dragons melts the heart of their herder. They are stories about truth-telling and con artists, about memory and letting go, and about the quiet, irreversible cost of wanting.

Beneath Pine & Stardustis a collection of ten dark and tender fables. Here, magic grows quietly, like moss between the roots, and a wild and watching world feels like it’s always been waiting for you.
