Description
One missing human. Three busybody fairies. One garden gnome turns reluctant sleuth after his peaceful existence implodes.
Bamboozled into helping the fairy sisters investigate the human's disappearance, Zig is about to uncover hidden secrets that forest kinfolk would rather remain buried.
When Zig, a knick-knack scavenger and turnip hauler, isn't scouring for trinkets at the humans' midden in the wee hours, he 'borrows' from a farmer's vegetable patch like it's a free-for-all open market, supplying veggies to his sister's place in Thimbleville. But picking the cream of the farm's crops abruptly halts when the produce supplier mysteriously disappears.
"All that's left of Old Tom is his green thumb." She held up a shimmery hand, palm out. "It's in your best interest to help us."
If he's lucky, he'll get rid of the vexing triplets, gain a few magical fairy tears, and hopefully avoid joining the sisters on the fae's troublemaker list.
Set in a mythical world filled with faun and fracas, troll and trouble, and fae and foul play, this cozy mystery with its touch of dry humor is for book lovers who enjoy magical mischief, mythological creatures, and low-stakes fantasy.
Fractured Fumbles is a cozy fantasy where quirky friends face unraveling a twisted caper of whodunnit.

Person
I didn't start as a writer; I began as a reader. As a small child, I could never put down a good book, and I still can't today. My love for reading brought me to where I am now.
Becoming a writer was a long and winding path. After two engineering degrees and years of corporate work, I started a blog. Yet, my head was filled with stories I'd read and enjoyed, and I wanted to write stories that would entertain others. While I'll always enjoy reading, now I'm writing those tales stuck in my imagination.
All the best, MJ
