It’s rumored that Moth’s family tree is rooted in legends of the fae. That their biography is a bit too fantastical and disjointed to be true. That the old rusty bells dotting their property protect their home from otherworldly things that live among the trees.

​What is known is that Moth is an author of children’s and young adult stories living in the woods of New England. They parent three children, raise chickens and rabbits, cavort with black cats, and regularly break into stories to anyone who will listen (and some who won’t).

​The con is simple: find a princess looking for a vacation, arrange a kidnapping with a willing dragon, stage a rescue with a friend that knows how to use a sword, collect a hero's ransom, and vanish into the night. What could go wrong?
