Release News: ‘The Glass Slipper Heist’!

Posted on June 2, 2026 by E. R. Paskey

I am delighted to announce that The Glass Slipper Heist, Book 2 in my cozy fantasy crafty mystery series Craft Shop Mysteries, releases world-wide tomorrow!

Join Celia in a new adventure as she navigates life as a new business owner in Starhaven and helps amnesiac fairytale characters.

The Glass Slipper Heist

Newly-minted craft shop owner Celia O’Malley just wants to celebrate her not-wedding anniversary with a lovely meal. Instead, she gets a magical disaster a half hour before closing time. A pile of glittery green goo in aisle three…that may or may not be one of her customers.

Celia moved to Starhaven, Kentucky to help people expand their creative horizons. Not break curses on the amnesiac fairytale characters trapped there. But now that she knows the secret this little town harbors, she feels responsible.

But attempting to solve the mystery of the glittery goo only leads to Celia finding herself entangled in a scheme years in the making. The theft of an antique glass slipper—that just might belong to Cinderella. A missing Cinderella.

Welcome to The Glass Slipper Heist, the charming second book in the Craft Shop Mysteries series, featuring cozy crafts, familiar fairytale characters, and a delightful touch of whimsy.

You can get The Glass Slipper Heist directly from me, or you can grab it from whatever major retailer you prefer!

I hope you enjoy.

Release News! ‘A Tale of Star-Crossed Hearts’

Posted on November 1, 2025 by E. R. Paskey

I am thrilled to announce that A Tale of Star-Crossed Hearts, the prequel to The Other Side of the Horizon, officially launched on retailers August 18!  

A Tale of Star-Crossed Hearts

A lemon meringue pie brings them together…resistance to change may tear them apart.

A textile merchant’s son, Raphael Franco Avarez boasts the reputation of charming every woman he meets. Until the day he meets a beautiful redheaded foreigner who not only seems impervious to him, but promptly vanishes. Fascinated, Raphael launches a city-wide search for her.

A professor’s daughter, Elena Mountebank enjoys traveling the world with her father and exploring new places and cultures. Settled temporarily in the city of Yves in Selendria, she spends her free time hunting down exotic ingredients to bake new delicacies. She never expected a handsome, too-charming stranger to waltz into her life like an errant breeze off the Wild Sea.

Raphael vows to overcome his reputation and win Elena’s heart, but a shadow threatens to mar their impending happiness. Amid the shadows of his past and rising tension about the new machinery sweeping the continent, Raphael and Elena must determine where their course truly lies—and how much they dare risk for love.

Welcome to A Tale of Star-Crossed Hearts, a swoony YA romantasy with a dash of steampunk.

You can get A Tale of Star-Crossed Hearts from me directly at my store eminorpress.com, or on Amazon, and all other major retailers.

Catch-up Post

Posted on November 1, 2025 by E. R. Paskey

Happy November!

I don’t know about you, but t’s been a year. Mostly good, but with a decided lack of sleep on my end. (My youngest has had a rough year, between teething and developmental growth spurts.) Hence the lack of updates here. 

I’m trying to develop a better way of juggling everything so that nothing gets left behind. That said, writing new books is one of the most important bits, and that has definitely continued. *smile*

We had a great—if crazy—summer, and the fall has been lovely so far. Took all six children tent camping for fall break a few weeks ago. (Our trip coincided with two days of rain, amounting to 3+ inches, which was definitely an adventure, but we made it.)

I’m not a huge fan of cold weather, but I do love that the leaves are still hanging on. They’re gorgeous now, and I’m enjoying the view out of our living room windows.

The only other major thing I have to announce is that I’m now on Instagram! You can find me at e.r.paskey.

‘Once Upon a Craft Shop’ Kickstarter is Live!

Posted on June 18, 2025 by E. R. Paskey

…and has 24 hours left! *sheepish grin*

Welp, I realize I dropped the ball on this one. Managed to update social media and keep up with newsletters, but I completely forgot to post this here. (It’s been a crazy two weeks–we had a stomach bug go through half the family and a bunch of important family things.)

Anyway, better an eleventh hour announcement than none at all, eh?

With that, let me introduce the Kickstarter for Once Upon a Craft Shop! The campaign is live now and you can preorder super early editions of the ebook, paperback, hardback, and autographed hardback!
