When a human shop owner is given a ritual knife containing the spirit of a powerful witch, darkness emerges from the shadows and threatens to lay Charleston to waste to get it.

Jakob Mercer owns The Oddities Emporium, a shop filled with the strange and macabre. He knows that his artifacts aren't all harmless. When a stranger gives him an athame that contains the soul of a powerful local witch, he realizes that it will take his entire arsenal of not-so-harmless curiosities to keep his enemies from destroying him and the city to get it.

Jakob is aided by Tempest Balfour, a sassy witch whose brother is the head of the local warlocks, and Gordon Pruitt, a haphazard warlock with a penchant for destruction. The three face factions from the Church, the witches, the warlocks, and forces beyond what Jakob knew existed to keep the athame out of the hands of evil.

Join Jakob and his friends as they fight to protect the Shadow Athame.

Shadow Athame is the first book in The Oddities Emporium series by Kimbra Swain, author of the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen series and its popular spin-offs. The prequel to the series can be found on Amazon. Check out Glasswing on Amazon today.

Grace Ann Bryant, daughter of Oberon, has spent her life running from the not-so-religious sect of fairy hunters, the Sanhedrin. When one of them offers her a deal to settle down in a small town in Alabama, she jumps at the chance to live in a double-wide and have a place to call home. In return for a peaceful life, she is tasked with helping the local sheriff with unusual cases. The Sanhedrin also dumps a misfit changeling in her lap to babysit. Only he ain't a baby. He sings like an angel and looks like pure sin.

Grace discovers that things aren't all daffodils and honeysuckle in Shady Grove. When two children disappear, she's accused of killing them for sport. Grace has to decide whether to fight for her innocence or break her contract by hitting the road.

Comin' Up a Cloud

The warning siren blares across Shady Grove, and Grace Ann's trailer sits in the path of a supernatural storm.

A storm is brewing in Shady Grove, Alabama. Spring has arrived, and Grace Ann Bryant's days are filled with crabby council members, a brooding bard, turbulent townspeople, and a pouting phoenix. At least her daughter is having a great time with the pixie that she caught. So much for that mom to daughter, heart to heart talk about fairies. 

Grace is neck deep in the issues of Shady Grove and her family. The last thing she needed was a wind sylph determined to destroy Shady Grove. The crew has to find out what got her panties in a wad while a mysterious man lurks around town. Grace is sure she knows him. Everyone insists that she give him some room, but she's tired of being told what to do. It's time Grace takes things into her own hands.

The winds are picking up in Shady Grove. Will Grace and the town survive the tumult? Watch out, Shady Grove! It's comin' up a cloud.

Gully Washer

Grace Ann Bryant, the Queen of the Exiles, and Levi Rearden, her bard, unsuccessfully attempt to protect the town with a huge ward. They need the songbook that Jeremiah Freyman took into the Otherworld, but do they risk the unknown to retrieve the book from the Summer Realm.

During the midst of this crisis, Grace’s nemesis, Stephanie Davis, returns to Shady Grove despite being banished with a shocking announcement. Following her arrival, a flood of new problems including a traitor in the fairy council plague Grace’s life. How will Grace handle the nastier parts of her duties as queen? Can she make the tough decisions even if it means sending her servants into the Otherworld or executing a traitor? Will her father’s power drain her has it had once before?

Dylan, Levi, and Grace tread water while trying to keep the town from sinking.

His abilities could crush her life in an instant. Dylan Riggs was recruited by the Sanhedrin to keep daily watch of the exiled fairy queen known as Grace Ann Bryant. They sold him a fairy tale of a town full of fairies where he could settle down and produce an heir.

However, from the moment Dylan Riggs walked into town he made mistake after mistake. He found himself entangled with a dangerous and selfish fairy queen. His daily reminder that he made the wrong choice taunted him as his “partner” on supernatural cases. How did he shed the consequences of his mistakes to find himself with the only woman he has ever loved? What sacrifices were required to keep her safe as she plodded around obvious to the danger lurking around her life? Will Dylan get his Happily Ever After ?

Interview with Kimbra Swain

Q: Why did you write the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen Series?

A: I was born and raised in Alabama, and I loved the Urban Fantasy genre. I wanted to mix those two things, but remain true to the Southern traditions and values that I was raised on: family, community, and determination. The Trailer Park Series is my ode to the South.

Q: What is the most important part of the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen to you?

A: Every single character in the series is real to me. The development of each one is so important for me going through the series. Some of them, including Grace, start off with many flaws. I should say especially Grace.

Q: How much of Grace is patterned after yourself?

A: Oh, gosh! Grace and I are a lot alike. Sassy and smart. However, Grace is very compassionate and trusting. She's also got a mouth on her. She says things that aren't PC, but as her character develops over the series, she sees that there were things she was very wrong about. Grace's story is about becoming who she was meant to be, and fate doesn't define that purpose. She does.

Q: What are your future plans for the Trailerverse?

A: The main series will have 15 books with a short story anthology focusing on the minor characters. I will be launching Wynonna's story this fall in Stories of Frost and Fire. The werewolf, Dominick Meyer, will also get his own series called Dog River Wolfpack. It will launch this fall, too. I have future undetermined plans to expand the Trailerverse.

Is it too much to ask for a fairy queen to have a nice holiday?

After accepting the role as Queen of the Exiles in Shady Grove, Alabama, Grace finds that being in charge isn't all it's cracked up to be. An influx of wayward fairies find their way to the newly established haven and seek the protection of the local fairy queen.

Grace and company are just trying to have a normal holiday when it's interrupted by a daily menace that escalates out of control. Add to it an untimely visit by a coven of witches, and the holiday is quickly going to hell in a Christmas decorated handbasket. Plus, Grace is sick for the first time in her long life. She might get some sleep, if her bard, Levi would quit banging his new girlfriend the trailer.

This hilariously mad romp leading up to Christmas Day has lots of love, giving and havoc! Tissues may be required.
