Sala Doon and the Demon Carrot
Part 3 of the Minimus Mu Adventures series
Some vegetables refuse to be scraped aside by a nine‑tined truffle fork.When a sharp‑tongued carrot upends a simple meal in Mossmarch, knife‑slinging rogue Sala Doon blames an overtired imagination. The world's only magic-wielder, Catriona Sun, knows better-especially when a ripple of wild magic begins tugging at her senses. Soon, the unlikely duo is neck‑deep in a conspiracy involving carrot‑worshipping zealots, ancient Perils, and a root vegetable with too much spare time.Together with a barefoot thief, a melodramatic balladeer, and a former queen, Sala and Catriona must navigate treacherous queendoms, their own tangled pasts, and a growing bond they're both trying (and failing) to ignore.As dangerous forces rise and loyalties splinter, they'll face one impossible question:How do you stop a threat that's literally taking root everywhere?A sharp, heartfelt, and hilariously perilous fantasy adventure. If you like quirky adventure stories, I am writing for you. Quick pacing, characters that are appealing to Young Adult or adult readers alike, maybe a little bit of magic, and a few chuckles are all part of the journey.
Currently, I am writing stories about the Redferne family. The Redferne siblings and their dog, Disco, are thrust into a bit more responsibility and experience many more odd events than they are really prepared for, but they band together and struggle through. Although their town, Middle Ides, is fictitious, it is a combination of a number of places I have lived and visited, and the setting breathes life into their various adventures (and misadventures).
I live in Toronto, Canada, with my wife, two quitely magical sons, and snaggle-toothed dog. Previously living in in Scotland, England, and Australia has armed me with a considerable range of slang words and insults. I grew up playing basketball and have spent far too much time sitting in front of computer screens in my job as a Microsoft IT Consultant.
