Settle into the cozy countryside of Moss Hill, where house-elves rent rooms, sprites live in gardens, a leprechaun is the best tailor in town, and a half-elf/half human named Carissa Shea owns a pharmacy known as The Seelie Tree Apothecary shop. Life couldn't be more idyllic for Cari, but healing humans and fae folk proves challenging at times, especially when secrets unfold in The Faerie Apothecary Mysteries.
About Book 1: Herbs and Homicide
In the small town of Moss Hill, customers of all kinds visit Carissa Shea's Seelie Tree Apothecary Shop. That includes tall and short, young and old, human and faerie. Being half-elf/half-human herself, Carissa personally knows and cares for them all. So, when a grumpy brownie, a type of house faerie, named Miss Morgan dies in her shop, Carissa is devastated. As she learns more about her customer's death, she realizes Miss Morgan might have been the only thing standing between the Seelie, faeries of light and goodness, and the Unseelie, faeries of darkness and evil. On top of it all, the Sidhe guard, protector of all fae residents, rule it a murder and name Carissa as a suspect! Now she must prove her innocence and find the real culprit before it's too late – not just for her but for all of Moss Hill.
An Interview With A Character
What is your full name?
Carissa Shae.
What is your Profession?
I am an apothecary who specializes in herbal remedies. I own the Seelie Tree Apothecary on Gorse Street, next to Gooseberry Café. That’s in Moss Hill – a little island off of the UK that may not be on your maps. I run the shop with my assistant, Maren, who is a lifesaver since we’re the only pharmacy in Moss Hill that specializes in herbal medicine. We also serve people from the village of Vale, who are a little…different and need remedies with more of a magical touch, so to speak.
What is your current favourite book or movie?
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and her second book Spark Joy are both favorites of mine. They made the series a tv show too! Keeping a tidy space keeps me calm in the chaos of my life lately.
What is your go to comfort book or movie?
There’s a television show called The Good Witch that I find uplifting. The characters and town are charming and each episode ends on a positive note. It’s heartwarming.
What would be the character you would want to be in a book?
I’ve always admired Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. It would be amazing to have grown up with a school like that and to have all that magical knowledge.
What is your ideal evening?
I like to keep things simple. The best thing in the world is eating out at the local pub with one or two friends and watching the sun go down by the pier. Moss Hill has incredible views of the ocean! It’s the most beautiful island in the world, in my opinion.
