Hi everyone!
I can finally share the title of the Mandrake Manor sequel....introducing:
Belladonna Bed & Breakfast
And tomorrow, the first chapter goes live here.
I’ll be releasing the story weekly as a serial, the same way Mandrake Manor originally ran, so you can read along with it as it unfolds.
If you haven’t read Mandrake Manor yet, this is actually the perfect time to start. Check it out in the store: https://jp-rindfleisch-ix-shop.fourthwall.com/products/mandrake-manor-a-cozy-queer-fantasy
That book follows three friends who move into an inherited manor, discover they’re witches, and attempt to survive a magical suburban neighborhood… including a threatening HOA.
In Belladonna Bed & Breakfast, the coven has finally settled into Henbane Hollow...but something in town isn’t right. Residents are changing, strange behavior is spreading, and a brand-new bed & breakfast seems to be at the center of it.
I love posting my stories as serials first because I want to hear your theories as they happen. Sometimes your guesses were wildly wrong… and sometimes they were suspiciously close... and other times, your thoughts and input make their way into the book.
So after you read a chapter, leave your thoughts and theories in the comments. What do you want more of, what are some favorite lines, who is super sus?
Reader speculation occasionally nudges the story.
Important: because the Henbane Hollow books are in Kindle Unlimited, once the full novel is complete, these chapters will likely have to come down.
I’m really excited to return to Henbane Hollow with you!
