Extract 8 from This Month's Release: Pixie Dust Dreaming (C.M. Collections #7

Pixies, trolls and urban policing, things got interesting when the Otherworld renewed its connection to ours. A new suite of crimes sprang into existence overnight…and a new breed of officer had to be found to combat them.

Here's an extract from the eighth entry in this month's release of Pixie Dust Dreaming, the 7th collection in my Collections series, which released on the 4th. Links to the collection can be found at: https://books2read.com/u/mY6xvP.

The rest of this entry can be found in the Pixie Dust Dreaming collection.
