About the author

USA Today bestselling author A.W. Hartoin grew up in rural Missouri, but her grandmother lived in the Central West End area of St. Louis. The CWE fascinated her with its enormous houses, every one unique. She was sure there was a story behind each ornate door. Going to Grandma’s house was a treat and an adventure. As the only grandchild around for many years, A.W. spent her visits exploring the many rooms with their many secrets. That’s how Mercy Watts and the fairies of Whipplethorn came to be.
As an adult, A.W. Hartoin decided she needed a whole lot more life experience if she was going to write good characters so she joined the Air Force. It was the best education she could’ve hoped for. She met her husband and traveled the world, living in Alaska, Italy, and Germany before settling in Colorado for nearly eleven years. Now A.W. has returned to Germany and lives in picturesque Waldenbuch with her family and two spoiled cats, who absolutely believe they should be allowed to escape and roam the village freely.

a good read

As always, Mercy’s brand of chaos is thoroughly enjoyable. It was a bit hard to reconcile this books version of Aaron with the version in the main series, but was nice to see the start of that friendship.

Easy read

Very short story. Like reading a long chapter. It was quick and easy. Interesting enough for a quick relaxing read.

This is my favorite Mercy Watts short story so far. Mercy is now being dragged into adventures not only by her detective, father but also by her intimidating aunt, a nun.
