Mia in the Hollow or and Meerkats Make A Family: Lumen Collection of Stories

Magic is sentient. Love is stubborn. Healing is communal - and the meerkats have already voted. Welcome to Lumen Hollow, where the koi fish gossip, the bakery has opinions, and a stubborn witch named Mia is about to discover that family is not something you earn. It's something you're voted into - usually before you've had your coffee. This collection brings together every Mia story in the Hollow - from one stolen childhood adventure on the Green, through the day six wandering meerkat shifters arrive in town, to the night the Hollow finally sings. Five works. Over 350,000 words of cozy paranormal romance, found family, magical mishaps, and one very opinionated otter. WHAT'S INSIDE: Stolen Nights on the Green - A bonus teen prequel novella set years before the Mia novels. Sixteen-year-old Lo and Koen, one stolen night on the Green, and a small magenta-haired girl named Mia who has snuck out of Hollow House to follow them. The night Mia learned that someone could let her in just because they wanted to. (For Lo and Koen's adult fated-mate romance, see Love, Light & Other Atmospheric Hazards.) Spirit of Family: Mia and the Meerkats - Mia has been alone in Lumen Hollow since she was nine. Then six wandering meerkat shifter siblings and one tired oldest brother arrive in town with nowhere to sleep. Family, it turns out, can recognize you on sight. Mia and the Shadows at the Mill - When the abandoned mill at the edge of town starts pulling magic out of the leylines, Mia and the Amari mob are the only ones close enough to stop it. The Meerkat Rulebook for Accidental Family Members - A brand-new short story, never before published. Mia keeps trying to leave the Amari cottage before anyone wakes up. The meerkats have started writing rules. Spirit Song Rising - The Hollow's deepest grief is rising, and Mia is the only one who can hold the center. But she cannot hold it alone - and she finally has someone who refuses to let her try. Readers who love this collection are looking for cozy paranormal romance with a fierce found family, witches and shifters and fated bonds, slow-burn closed-door romance, laugh-out-loud humor with real emotional stakes, and one otter named Squeak who steals teaspoons and occasionally tells the truth. Seven voices in harmony. Welcome to the Hollow - they're saving you a seat.
