Fall 2024

**A warm and hopeful story of a lonely witch consumed by grief who discovers a whimsical cast of characters in a magical arboretum—and the healing power of found family.**

Powerless witch Saika is ready to enact her sister’s final request: to plant her remains at the famed Ash Gardens. When Saika arrives at the always-stormy sanctuary, she is welcomed by its owner, an enormous knit-cardiganed mythical beast named Frank, who offers her a role as one of the estate’s caretakers.

Overcome with grief, Saika accepts, desperate to put off her final farewell to her sister. But the work requires a witch with intrinsic power, and Saika’s been disconnected from her magic since her sister’s death two years prior. Saika gets by at the sanctuary using a fragment of a fallen star to cast enchantments—while hiding the embarrassing truth about herself.

As Saika works harder in avoidance of her pain, she learns more about Frank, the decaying house at Ash Gardens, and the lives of the motley staff, including bickering twin cherubs, a mute ghost, a cantankerous elf, and an irritating half witch, among others. Over time, she rediscovers what it means to love and be wholly loved and how to allow her joy and grief to coexist. Warm and inventive, House of Frank is a stirring portrait of the ache of loss and the healing embrace of love.

House of Frank

**Amid the chaos of a dying city ruled by colonizers, three rivals―a thief, a slumlord, and an heiress―race to find a hidden cache of magic that will decide the city’s fate.**

In the occupied city of Tejomaya, calor―a magical fossil fuel―is found only in the blood rains that fall from the sky. While a six-month drought has brought Tejomaya to a desperate standstill, rumors of a secret stash of magic propel three unlikely treasure seekers to risk everything.

Tenacious and street-smart Zain Jatav has been forced to steal calor for her slumlord bosses for years. Finding the magic reserve might be her only key to freedom. But she’ll have to contend with Iravan Khotar, a slumlord himself and an ambitious revolutionary hoping to use the same magic to save his people from the mysterious illness devastating the slums―and to bolster a fight against their oppressors. Meanwhile, heiress Anastasia Drakos leads the ruling council of Tejomaya from the safety of a nearby island. With the hidden magic, she could finally take full control of the city and crush the slums beneath her unyielding fist.

As Zain, Iravan, and Anastasia draw closer to finding the treasure, their paths tangle, and not for the first time―they met before, a decade ago, in a fire that destroyed each of their lives in different ways. Their reunion might bring the already-weakened city to its knees.

Exploring the devastating mechanisms of power, this searing climate fantasy breathes life into a crumbling world hovering on the brink of total destruction.

**In this fresh-yet-familiar gothic tale—part historical fantasy, part puzzle-box mystery—the worlds of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes collide in a thrilling exploration of feminine power.**

At the dawn of the twentieth century in Paris, Samantha Harker, daughter of Dracula’s killer, works as a researcher for the Royal Society for the Study of Abnormal Phenomena. But no one realizes how abnormal she is. Sam is a channel into the minds of monsters: a power that could help her solve the gruesome deaths plaguing turn-of-the-century Paris—or have her thrown into an asylum.

Sam finds herself assigned to a case with Dr. Helena Moriarty, daughter of the criminal mastermind and famed nemesis of Sherlock Holmes and a notorious detective whom no one wants to work with on account of her previous partners’ mysterious murders. Ranging from the elite clubs of Paris to the dark underbelly of the catacombs, their investigation sweeps them into a race to stop a Beast from its killing rampage, as Hel and Sam are pitted against men, monsters, and even each other. But beneath their tenuous trust, an unmistakable attraction brews. Is trusting Hel the key to solving the murder, or is Sam yet another pawn in Hel’s game?

In this fresh-yet-familiar gothic tale—part historical fantasy, part puzzle-box mystery—the worlds of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes collide in a thrilling exploration of feminine power.

Strange Beasts

**Fearing for her life, an outcast princess joins the rebellion against her own kingdom and family. . . but when playing with fire, someone always gets burned.**

Teia Carthan abandoned her morals long ago, and now there’s nothing she won’t do to stay alive. So far she has survived her parents’ deaths, the ire of the Council, and innumerable attempts on her life, orchestrated by Jura, her half brother and soon-to-be king of Erisia. Teia’s rare control over two elements marks her as both an outsider and a formidable opponent—but once Jura is crowned king, there will be no way to survive him. Not for Teia, not for anyone. 

When Jura moves to crush the rebellion that seeks to overthrow the monarchy, Teia sees one last opportunity to ensure her own safety. She can infiltrate the rebels, locate their base . . . and betray them to Jura, trading their lives for her own. 

Yet when Teia meets the rebels, she gets far more than she bargained for. And when she gains not only their trust but their friendship, she begins to have doubts. Perhaps the rebels are right. Perhaps the Golden Palace should be torn down and the monarchy destroyed. 

But then again—what if there is another possibility? What if Teia were on the throne instead? 

Fearing for her life, an outcast princess joins the rebellion against her own kingdom and family. . . but when playing with fire, someone always gets burned.

I discovered the cozy fantasy genre when I read Legend & Lattes for the first time. Reading that story felt like coming home, so I started to seek out the softer side of fantasy. I have since shared countless cozy stories through my content and my online book club that currently hosts over 5,000 cozy fantasy lovers. As this genre begins to grow, my heart is to help diverse voices in the cozy fantasy space shine. Cozy Quill Press is so much more than just connecting or publishing books. We get to nurture dreams and help them find their way into the hearts of readers. I’m so happy we get to journey along together and I can’t wait to get to know you in this cozy space!

Kathryn Budig

My love for books runs deep. Bookstores were my favorite place to visit as a child, I received a double major in English Literature and Drama from the University of Virginia, and I went on to author *The Women's Health Big Book of Yoga* and *Aim True*. My most recent work was published in Zosia Mamet’s anthology, *My First Popsicle*, but my true loves have yet to meet the world — I too write fiction, and long to see it in published form. I co-host Free Cookies with my wife (and author!), Kate Fagan, where we banter and interview notables such as Madeline Miller, TJ Klune, George M. Johnson, and Emily St. John Mandel. Plus, we have the cutest rescue pup in the world: Ragnar Ashison.

Kathryn Budig is an internationally celebrated yoga teacher, author, and founder of the online yoga platform, Haus of Phoenix. She is known for empowering her students and readers through her accessibility, humor, and creative instruction.

Jananie K. Velu

My name is Jananie and I’m known as thisstoryaintover on YouTube, where I’ve created content about books for over 5 years.

As a neurodivergent, queer woman of colour living with mental illness, I have struggled to see myself represented in books and media all my life. I believe that the stories we consume directly affect our worldview and our perception of ourselves. I hope to be part of the change that brings more diverse and rich stories to the world.

I named my channel “This Story Ain't Over” (styled thisstoryaintover) because of my strong belief that we are in a constant--and often messy-- process of growth and change. I hope that you’ll be excited to join me on this journey as we figure it out together. 

Currently, I live in downtown Toronto and work my nine-to-five in marketing, when I’m not reading or creating content. 🙂

I am a Black man in a white-centered world and my reading tastes reflect that. I care about making space for Black and brown writers in an industry that has forgotten how badly it needs us. I am an author, book reviewer and passionate advocate for marginalized people and I love reading anything that pushes back against systemic barriers or challenges me to see the world through a wider lens. I can be a lot, so be prepared. But I promise it’ll be a good time!

Linzy Taylor

Most people may know me for my comedic content. I share what it’s like to live with my husband and my ex-husband. Yes you read that correctly. I’m an autistic mom raising autistic kids. My life is kind of crazy. Comedy is a great way to let my vivid imagination run wild. I’d do almost anything for a laugh. I’m an actor, writer, singer, mother and an avid page turner. I look forward to growing a community of like minded people here on Bindery. I’m a sucker for deep memoirs, psychological thrillers, romance with a twist, and dark magic. I write movies, so I’m heavily plot driven. As a writer I love realistic characters with compelling stories and tragic flaws.

itslinzytaylor

Verified TikTok Creator who lives with her husband and ex husband in Arizona. I'm the mom who lets her kids draw on the walls! My life is abnormal, but define normal. I'm autistic, and I'm raising autistic kids. Writing is my escape from reality. I write screenplays, songs, and I'm working on my debut novel. Comedy seems to come easy for me. Maybe it's because I grew up in Massachusetts. Sarcasm is my love language. I've been acting since I was nine. There's something really profound and surreal about becoming someone else entirely. I'm on a health and wellness journey, and have found a beautiful community by documenting my progress. Yoga saved my soul. I want to show my kids, and the world for that matter... That dreaming is just as important as breathing.

Desiree



Hi my ‘Lil Raindrops, I’m Desiree! I used to be a quiet reader; the reader who kept their opinions and excitement to themselves from fear of being judged for being “too excited” or “unrealistic” for falling in love with fictional worlds. That is, of course, until I found my community of like-minded people. Since then, it’s been my goal to offer a similar environment to others, where they can share their excitement for books and fictional characters and to be received with just the same level of excitement and a big, warm hug. Welcome to the ‘Lil Raindrops Family!

Hi my lil Raindrops! Welcome back, or welcome home! For those who don't already know me; Hi! I'm Desiree. This YouTube channel is going to be like a longer version of my TikToks.

Consider this place to be like my own digital journal that I share with the world because why the heck not.

Sunny

My name is Sunny (they/she) and I read, recommend, and review books of all genres, with a particular emphasis on lesbian and queer literature, speculative fiction, and women writers. I love sharing my thoughts on books with a community of readers online. I’m a reader and a dedicated drinker of earl gray tea, and I hold the identities of Asian-American femme lesbian very close to my heart— I take that shit very seriously. I am the podcast co-host of The Lavender Menace Podcast, the Writing Director of Beloved: A Butch-Femme Zine, and a writer.  

On previous social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, I’ve been essentially chased off of these sites for my (well-informed and well-read) beliefs. But I love books and I love sharing my opinions, so I will not stop! On my Bindery, “sunny thoughts” works as both a little play on words, a description of thoughts that are “sunny” and bright, when really, I am a pretty critical reader and consumer of media. But “sunny thoughts” also literally refers to my (Sunny’s) thoughts, in a Substack-like-newsletter for lengthy written book reviews as well as essays on books, media, the Internet, the world, etc. I hope you join me in this community and find as much joy in approaching and critically examining media and discourse as I do!
