Together, they encounter a variety of local magical creatures, spells, and obstacles as Sil resists the idea that he might actually have a talent for magic and that he might want something more from the hopeless wizard after all...

Sil and Anders return from the beloved short story, “The Wizard’s Garden”, to grow in friendship, companionship, and perhaps even more.

Thoroughly convinced of Anders’ proclivity to kill every plant he purchases, Sil is determined to thwart the disastrous wixen’s intentions, both for his garden and recruiting a magically disinclined apprentice.

Blurb: Sil was perfectly content as the manager of the village plant shop. That is, until a certain wizard, Wixen Anders Kessel, requested a fire curry plant to add to what Sil assumed was his growing graveyard of helpless greenery.

If you love Howl's Moving Castle, imagine that, but in a magical garden with a pair of disaster gays learning to co-exist.

I’m just going to be over here continuing to use custom trim sizes forever because what is making my formatting life easy?

Also do we have 3 different copies of Howl’s Moving Castle…maybe, why do you ask?

Sil and Anders (originally featured in the Wizard's Garden short story from QW: Spring) are the dual protagonists. Sil - a seemingly non-magical plant shop manager. Anders - a wizard with a specialty in plants.

BTW, readers and bookstores, I'll be putting together ARC sign-ups and pre-order reward stuff soon, so if you want read about a cozy, magical garden, a chaotic wizard and his grumpy assistant in the vein of Howl's Moving Castle, watch this space!
