A Nest of Magic: A Sapphic Cozy Fantasy introduces a staid librarian who lives a quiet life in a town where nothing extraordinary happens. There're no surprises, no magic, and certainly there's no cause to believe that anything will ever change.

Corinthia has everything she needs for a satisfyingly quiet life. But life doesn't tend to remain the same, and what seems like a simple bet with a friend to explore something different soon turns into an impossible encounter with other realities, belying the opening thought that this is a town where nothing ever happens.

As she encounters authors' lives and renames them, from Ms. Romance and Ms. Mystery to Mr. Thriller, Corinthia finds that their works all too strangely mirror new possibilities in her world as she navigates dual worlds of books and fantasy.

A wry sense of humor embedded even into descriptions of food leave readers chuckling, but the real attraction to this story lies in how it traverses matters of the heart, revealing LGBTQ connections in the course of sending Corinthia on a mission to expand her life, heart, and perspectives.

Women who like fantasies firmly rooted in changing minds and lives will welcome how A Nest of Magic evolves a cozy countenance while creating delicious references to chocolate, birdcalls, friendships, and a Refuge which introduces many extraordinary facets to life.

The discoveries and revelations are quietly compelling as the journey unfolds:

Corinthia turned and looked down a path. It was one she had been down before, but now she saw it differently.

Librarians seeking a tale of magic, friendships, new perspectives, and new life possibilities will find A Nest of Magic wonderfully revealing and delightfully warm in its adventure.

Readers seeking compelling reads receive a story that revolves around a librarian's transformative experiences that prompt her to re-envision everything she'd thought possible about her world and life. They will find A Nest of Magic a delight.
