Description
Tales from a Second Hand Wand Shoppe (Book 1):They were the Best of Gnomes, They were the Worst of Gnomes.
Two Gnomes- Grimbledung and Drimblerod- are just trying to get along in life when their worlds collide. Drimblerod runs a moderately reputable Second Hand Wand Shop that does pretty well at moving inventory. Grimbledung runs a disreputable Second Hand Wand Wagon that he moves regularly to avoid the authorities.
Everything changes when they combine their talents: City ordinances are broken. Neighbors are annoyed. The Constable becomes involved. Even the Magician's Guild sends over some Enforcers to deal with them. Things are definitely looking up for the Gnomes!
From multi-headed travelers looking for a good time, mysterious cloaked figures, to Half-Orcs just trying to obey their mates, everyone seems to come to the Second Hand Wand Shoppe to either buy or sell a wand.
Along for the ride are a neurotic Jousting Dummy, an immortal (so far) Rat, a Trolless who runs the Tavern across the street, a Dwarf next door with (alleged) Mob ties, and the Head Mistress of the local School of Magic (with definite Mob ties).
We'd say that all that was missing was a love story, but there's one of those tucked neatly in a chapter as well. You're welcome.
Bask in this 103,000+ illustrated adventure. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never be the same.
Author's Note: Book 4 - "A New Hope" will be published in late November, 2014. This 120,000+ word continuation of the Gnomes' adventures brings everyone back together after the Halfling invasion for more antics-- Magician Guild Enforcers return to town, so does a certain assassin. Grimbledung goes undercover at Julie's school of magic to track down a wand thief. And there's another Jubilee...
