A cozy, sunlit fable about a rules-bound bureaucrat thawed by an island of magical misfit children and their gentle guardian.

Gentle, episodic adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, told with a warm confiding narrator and dry adult wit tucked under childlike sincerity.

A queer, big-hearted NYC romance where a cynical waitress falls for a punk girl stuck in time on the Q train — warm, horny, funny, and unabashedly hopeful, with a found-family ensemble carrying the emotional weight.

A warm, gently comic whodunit where the real pleasure is four sharp retirees outwitting everyone who underestimates them; cozy and quick with short chapters and a diary-entry voice that charms.
