Warm beds, cozy magical mysteries, and the best rosemary bread this side of Pigsend Creek. Welcome to the Weary Dragon Inn.
Innkeeper Bev lives a quiet life in the fantasy village of Pigsend, serving dinner, welcoming guests, and baking delicious rosemary bread. But when earthquakes begin causing sinkholes, including near Bev's front door, she's got to put on her amateur sleuth hat to figure out what—or who—might be causing them.
Drinks and Sinkholes is the first novel in The Weary Dragon Inn cozy fantasy mystery series. For fans of low stakes fantasy like J. Penner's Fellowship of Baker and Magic, KF Breene's Magical Midlife Series, and SL Rowland's Cursed Cocktails, as well as cozy fantasy titles like Legends and Lattes and The Spellshop, this is a low stakes, light-hearted magical story with found family, good friends, and delicious food set in a small town.
S. Usher Evans is an author, blogger, and witty banter aficionado. Born in a small, suburban town in northwest Florida, she was seventeen before she realized that not all beach sand is white. From a young age, she has always been a long-winded individual, first verbally (to the chagrin of her ever-loving parents) and then eventually channeled into the many novels that dotted her Windows 98 computer in the early 2000's. After high school, she got the hell outta dodge and went to school near the nation's capital, where she somehow landed jobs at National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and the British Broadcasting Corporation, capping off her educational career with delivering the commencement address to 20,000 of her closest friends. She determined she'd goofed off long enough with that television nonsense and got a "real job" as an IT consultant. Yet she continued to write, developing 20 page standard operating procedures and then coming home to write novels about bounty hunters, teenage magic users, and other nonsense. After a severe quarter life crisis at age 27, she decided to finally get a move on and share those novels with the world in hopes that she will never have to write another SOP again.
