Hobbit Hike Recap

I spent a terrific weekend in the woods at the second annual Hobbit Hike. Organized by the tireless Tauney Stinson of Forager Bee, the weekend featured forest hikes, amazing dinners, crafts, musical entertainment and unique vendors—all with a relaxed and cozy Shire vibe. Tauney is a font of foraging inspiration and knowledge. You might have seen my credit to her in Black Annis Year, when she helped me with some foraging lore for the book. My favorite part of the weekend had to be the concert by Griefcat. Not only is this duo musically talented, they are also very funny with song titles such as “I Already Took My Bra Off” and “Too Cute to Go to War.” I’ve been following them for a while and you should too. Check out their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@griefcat.

I had my books available at the Goblin Market on both days, and boy, was it busy! I hosted a felted mushroom class for beginner needle-felters and was really impressed with the enthusiasm of the group and the adorable mushrooms they produced. Thankfully, my daughter Genevieve was there to help with my booth, and she brought her pups to keep her company. Here’s a pic of them relaxing after the rush on Sunday.



The weather held off and it only rained at night, which was kind of nice while we were snuggled into our camping cabin. All in all, it was a great weekend and some well-needed down time.

Here’s a last pic of all the exhausted hobbit vendors at the end of the Goblin Market. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us!

SPOTLIGHT BOOK


It’s been a little over a month now since the release of Hallow Crossing. This series, with its small-town, cozy vibes got a lot of attention at the Goblin Market this weekend. I wrote this series to be an antidote to the frenzy of today’s busy world. The books will leave you feeling uplifted and maybe even singing a new tune. And did you know that you can read them in any order? I’m planning 4 books in the Fair Folk of Mullarkey Series, but each will be a stand-alone story about a different character from this joyful small town.

If you haven’t checked out Hallow Crossing yet, I hope you will. If you have read it, please help an indie author out and leave a review on your favorite retail site or share it on your social media.

And don’t forget to check out all the bonus material on my site at The Fair Folk of Mullarkey homepage.
