Synopsis

Centenary Rhodes is caught in a deal she didn't make. Thanks to her eternal lover, Stowne's, quick thinking, she'll live forever, but there's a hitch. Cent's now fey, and three months out of the year she'll live on the other side of Embreeville Mountain among the Hunter Fey, serving their king, Dane Gow.

As Cent begins wading through the anachronisms that come with being a Hunter, she learns that nothing is what it initially seems. Cent shares several past lives with Dane, who wants her back, and Stowne's lied to Cent so many times that she's having doubts about their marriage. To make matters worse, the past Hunter Kings are influencing Dane's behavior, and the youngest Hunter, Brinn, might well be the most dangerous of them all.

It's going to be a cold, dark spring, and Cent needs to unite both sides of Embreeville mountain before her eternal life, her relationship with Dane, and her marriage to Stowne come permanently undone.

Another rich Contemporary Appalachian tale about fantastic people and the magic they possess, including LGBTQIA+ characters Human and otherwise.

About this title

Review

Praise for Cleaning House - Appalachian Elementals Book One

"A stand-out book. An imaginative tale of identity steeped in Appalachian folklore." - BookLife Prize

"While this story is full of beautiful, wonderful queerness in all its glory, it isn't limited to that. It's also about taking care of each other and the earth; it's about coming home; it's about family of origin and chosen family, and it's about standing up against the forces of destruction all around us. This is a book for anyone who is looking for love and beauty amidst all the ugliness and cruelty our modern world so often displays". - Author A. M. Leibowitz

"Honestly, it was nothing like I expected but I was completely drawn into the world the author created and felt as if she (the author) had the secrets of the world trapped within the pages. The use of pronouns was masterful, the glorious understanding that sexuality and life are to be accepted the way people are- everything about this story screamed of love and home and acceptance and magic. This is a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading" - Author H. M. Gooden

"I'd recommend Cleaning House to readers who enjoy an interesting story of elemental and other magic that has complex characters and explores sexuality, gender, and a person's sense of self." - Author Anne Barwell
