How to Lose a Goblin in 10 Days

Adult Cozy Fantasy
Coming in 2025 from Orbit

Halfling Pansy and goblin Ren believe they have inherited the same cottage, so they make a deal: they will live in there together and whoever is driven out first forfeits their claim. The pair begin to fall in love, but must learn to trust each other when their communities are threatened by a common enemy.

Eteri is an Adjudicator, a veiled arbiter of justice serving what little remains of the world after it was nearly swallowed whole by another star. Or, he will be one soon; once he undergoes a magical rite meant to strip him of his emotions.But before Eteri can take that final step to becoming a full-fledged Adjudicator, his mentor (inexplicably) enlists him as her assistant in brokering an end to a long and bloody war. Unfortunately, these peace talks turn out to be anything but peaceful when Eteri's mentor turns up dead.Now, Eteri must solve a murder in addition to negotiating peace in his mentor's stead. All while doing his best not to fall for the charming but incredibly suspicious Grand Duke, Sylvain Duguay. Because if he doesn't, the last sliver of his world may very well tear itself apart.

I'm a huge Dragon Age fan, so being able to work on this cookbook was an absolute dream! I wrote the lore blurbs for each of the recipes as well as the introduction at the beginning.
