A boring mushroom fae inherits a sentient mansion and must trust a scheming professor to save it — and himself.

Description

Mushroom fae Claude Stinkhorn leads an extraordinarily boring life. He works as a conductor on Remy’s underground railway, lives alone in a windowless, basement apartment, and occasionally enjoys a moderately priced chai latte. He’s never been happier.After the death of his absentee father, Claude inherits a house. But it’s no ordinary house. It’s a mansion, it’s sentient, it’s a pain in the ass, and Claude must perform an ancient magical ritual twice a year to keep it alive.There are just two problems. One, nobody can tell Claude what the ritual involves. Not even the property’s motley crew of occupants. And two, Claude has always sucked at magic. He needs help from an expert …Professor Sonny Daye has been working on the same mycology paper for the past few decades, but he’s not giving up. After all, his findings could eradicate famine and help save the planet. He knows with first hand research he’ll have it finished in no time. But first hand research means talking to a mushroom fae, and mushroom fae are a notoriously tight lipped and secretive species.Luckily for Sonny, the perfect opportunity lands directly in his lap. Which is great news, and not in the least bit weird or suspicious … Shroom for Improvement is the first book in the Mythical Mishaps Series, and can be read as a standalone. Expect silliness, slow burn, steam, and mushroom puns galore.
