A Houseful of Fairies

A short story for adults featuring the characters from the Willow Brown Stories.

One of Willow’s dreams has come true: her forest home, a stone mansion called the Big House, has been refitted to become a safe haven, where wayward fairies can stay while their lives are transitioned to a new identity and location. The remodeling is done, the house scrubbed, the pantry full, and the staff in place. Everything is perfect.

Until the guests arrive, at least. Bumbles and Butters, Dragons and Wasps, oh my! (And there’s a Moth, too.) Not everyone thinks the household is so perfect, especially when they discover they’re expected to help with the work required to house and feed twenty-two fairies. Willow and her best friend Rowan have their hands full with complaints about the rooms, the food, and nearly everything else. When the tension boils over into vandalism, Willow has had “e-nough!” And her lover and fairy friend Noah has left her to cope alone while he tours Europe.

Willow enlists the aid of the security staff and her Airne friend Jasmine to catch the culprit. Suspicions and accusations fly as fairy tempers flare. This landlady stuff was not what Willow had been expecting!

Read Willow’s short story for the holidays, ‘Willow Brown, Christmas Fairy’, and the three full length novels, 'An Ordinary Fairy' , 'Willow Brown, American Fairy', and 'Willow Brown, Plain Fairy'.
