This is like Midsomer Murders meets Bake Off meets Death Becomes Her meets Blandings… no death, but a lot of very silly village flower show rivalry, seethingly polite put-downs, and vicious horticultural witchery 😂

An illustration of a bandit holding a bow on a wide tree branch covered with magical flowers. Text reads: ““The sacred flowers carpeted the ground before her feet. Glossy-leaved and bulbous, their distinctive flowers, growing in groups of nine along a dark green stem, ranged in color from pale blue to a deep midnight purple.” The Ranger and the Thief by Emmylou Kotzé FREE in the Bandits & Botany issue of Indie Bites”

Oh yeah that was it 😂 Still makes me laugh 😂 wib.
I love that you can tell our exact editorial dynamic from this short exchange 😂

Josie wrote it phonetically in the script as “WIBBLE-in” and it made me crack up EVERY TIME I saw it, let alone hearing it!
If you want to see this absolute travesty, then back us now I guess 🤦♀️
You know you want to 😂
Release the wibblin supercut! 😂
If you knew the joy that the term “wibalin” has brought to Josie and me through this whole process, you’d absolutely want this book just to share in our wibblin’ fun 😂
We are so close to being funded!

My new fantasy short story is out now! Cottagecore witchcraft - gardening, potions, and poison ✨🌿
"Anise opened the cottage door to be met with a blackthorn shrub. It sat at the bottom of the front step, roots staunchly clinging to the soil from which it had been dug."
this is *GORGEOUS*
Love it. It's so stunning. Beautiful colours, amazing details 🥰🔥👏🏻 This will make such a gorgeous present for anyone in your life who loves fantasy stories.
