Vintage Stories that Sparkle with the Fantastical
Welcome to my cottage!
I’m so happy you’re here! We have hot chocolate and cookies, so grab one (or three because who’s counting?) and curl up in a cozy armchair with stories that whisk you back in time and make you believe in magic again.
My name’s Alyssa, and I’m a desert-surviving, plastic sword wielding, Disney-singing adventurer who loves God, family, stories, and homemade cookies! When I’m not wordsmithing and arguing with my characters, you can find me sword fighting my nephews, planning my next adventure, or cooking up science experiments with a crew of nerdlings and trying not to burn my house down.
