A collection of short stories with elements of dark fantasy and horror. The collection is still growing, but each story is complete in itself.

"There's not a whole lot of magic left anymore, is there? The witches are melted, Cinderella's dead, and the Wolves are endangered. The fey left." ★ "Not all of them," Tilly said with a smile. ★★★ "ABC's 'ONCE UPON A TIME' meets 'SARAH, PLAIN AND TALL'" Hard times have come to Grimland since Queen Cinderella's death nearly 60 years ago, and nobody feels it more than Tilly Lafayette and her family. Despite their propensity for magic, they're just scraping by in Coleville, a deeply superstitious little smudge of a town in the foothills of the Sesmi mountains. When Mama's chronic illness suddenly worsens, Tilly must use her most powerful spell to save her, but to do so she has to leave behind everything she's ever known. ★★★ THE SEAM SORCERESS is a journey through some of the world's most beloved stories, re-imagined through the lens of Appalachian culture and Americana. Leigh Heasley (2017 Watty award winner and author of "Kairos," optioned for a TV series by eOne entertainment) weaves in personal memories and her family's unique history alongside the magic in this deeply personal tale.

For as long as he could remember, Gorsefire lived a normal life. Nothing extraordinary, but not exactly insufferable. As a kit, he, along with most kittens, dreamed of being leader and one of the most feared yet respected warriors. And like most kittens, he lived without a care in the world. But as he aged, he soon found out that life isn't all smiles and sunshine. Gorsefire uncovers things he wished he had never found out, and his relationships begin to waver and secrets of his are broken. Gradually, Gorsefire's life falls apart. And even as Gorsestar, leader of ChasmClan, the suffering doesn't stop. Things only get worse. But this isn't just mere coincidence... No, the things that happen to Gorsestar aren't by chance. Somebody is trying to ruin his life, /somebody/ is trying to make Gorsestar suffer until the day he decides to end it all... But who...?
