Welcome to Mullarkey Mills, a small town that time forgot, where old traditions still matter, the fae linger just beyond the treeline, and magic hides in plain sight. Leave milk out for the fair folk. Wear something made of cold iron. And whatever you do, don't go looking for the dark things that dwell in the woods.

For the people who find their way to Mullarkey Mills, the village offers something they thought they'd lost forever: hope. As widowed animal rescuer Elenna Kane struggles to rebuild her life after devastating loss, she discovers friendship, healing, and the hidden world of the fae woven through the forests surrounding the town. Later, innkeeper Joelle finds herself guarding a secret crossing between the mortal world and the fae realm while balancing renovations, unexpected romance, and dangers that threaten the fragile boundary protecting both worlds.

Filled with found family, gentle romance, folklore-inspired magic, and unforgettable characters, The Fair Folk of Mullarkey is a cozy fantasy series about second chances, belonging, and the courage to open your heart to wonder. Perfect for readers who love enchanting small towns, hopeful stories, and the magic waiting just beyond the trees.

A magical journey of second chances, hidden mysteries, and the unexpected enchantment of a small village—where love, loss, and the fae collide in the most surprising ways.

Elenna Kane gave her heart to Jamie, his farm, his needy rescue animals, and his rambling, impractical house. But after his death, she's left struggling to hold on to a life that feels increasingly impossible. 

Just when she’s ready to walk away, the village of Mullarkey Mills wraps her in its quirky embrace. As the seasons change, an old plow horse teaches her to hold on to joy. A wind phone becomes her bridge to Jamie’s memory even as she cautiously explores the possibility of new love. And the whispering woods begin to reveal their hidden truths, drawing Elenna into a shocking mystery that will open her eyes to the dark splendor of the fae living right under her nose.

Two years ago, Joelle came to Mullarkey Mills searching for answers and found instead a crumbling inn—and a purpose. Now Cedar Grove Inn is her home and she is the guardian of the Hallow Crossing, a rare threshold between the mortal world and the fae. While she renovates and brings new life, a relentless paranormal investigator is determined to expose the inn’s secrets, and the fae queen on the other side is resolute about keeping humans out of her realm—and her people in. When a quiet, grieving stranger named Oscar arrives and stirs feelings Joelle would rather keep locked away, she must decide what she’s willing to risk to protect the inn, the town, and the fragile boundary between worlds.

Hallow Crossing will be released May 7, 2026.

Burned out and grieving, Joelle has barely held herself together since her sister Penny vanished—until a letter arrives declaring her officially dead after eight long years. But Penny left one final request, drawing Joelle back to Cedar Grove Inn, their childhood refuge in the forests of Mullarkey Mills. There, beneath an eerie sense of calm, Joelle uncovers secrets that challenge everything she believes—and finds herself drawn to a mysterious man who seems as much a part of the inn as its hidden magic. As truth, longing, and the impossible intertwine, Joelle realizes some doors don’t just open to the past—they lead somewhere entirely unexpected.
