Cora Travis writes cozy fantasy, cozy monster romances, mysteries, and low-stakes fantasies where claws meet cuddles and secrets hide behind teacups. Her stories are filled with lantern-lit libraries, mischievous cryptids, and small towns where falling in love with a werewolf (or befriending a dragon in a cardigan) feels as natural as pie cooling on the windowsill. She believes monsters make the best comfort reads—because who wouldn’t want a grumpy gargoyle to hold your umbrella in the rain? When she isn’t dreaming up clues and creatures, Cora can be found brewing endless pots of tea, collecting haunted-looking trinkets, and trying to decide which blanket best matches her mood.
About
Welcome to Hollybrooke, a quaint little town where humans and Folk live side by side—and where ordinary life always comes with a dash of the extraordinary.
When decorations vanish, enchanted mistletoe sparks awkward almost-kisses, or a Nutcracker statue disappears before the Christmas Eve pageant, one thing is certain: librarian Marigold Green and her grumpy goblin neighbor Bramwell Underbranch will somehow end up in the middle of it all.
Full of whimsy, warmth, and a touch ofromance, The Hollybrooke Mysteries deliver cozy fantasy fun for fans of Legends & Lattes and magical small-town romcoms. Each book offers a stand-alone mystery wrapped in charm, community, and just enough enchantment to remind you that magic can be found in the most unexpected places.
Hollybrooke’s annual Christmas Festival is supposed to be librarian Marigold Green’s favorite time of year—twinkle lights, mulled cider, and her lovingly curated holiday book display.
But when wreaths, ornaments, and even the town’s giant tree decorations vanish, suspicion falls on Bramwell Underbranch, the grumpy goblin landlord who lives next door.
Marigold doesn’t buy it. Sure, Bramwell prefers scowls to small talk, and yes, his moss-covered cottage looks like something out of a spooky fairytale—but he’s also the one who carries her book boxes and keeps her walk shoveled after every snow.
Determined to prove his innocence, Marigold teams up with Bramwell to catch the real thief. Between cocoa-fueled stakeouts, mischievous mistletoe magic, and discovering that goblins may be better kissers than expected, she learns that sometimes the best Christmas surprises come from the unlikeliest places.
Warm, whimsical, and full of holiday mischief, How the Goblin Stole Christmas is a cozy fantasy bite-sized festive escape you can enjoy in a single sitting—with cocoa, of course.

Before a goblin ever stole Christmas in Hollybrooke, one very particular brownie discovered it.
For one hundred and seventy-three years, Pip has lived a perfectly orderly life—mending socks, dusting ledgers, and keeping the mayor’s filing system in flawless alphabetical order. Brownies aren’t meant for chaos, after all. They’re meant for tidiness. Predictability. Proper sweeping technique.
But one December night, Pip stumbles into Hollybrooke’s Christmas Festival—and nothing in his neat little world will ever be the same. Lights twinkle, bells chime, and joy spills across the square in a glorious mess of cookies, carols, and laughter.
For the first time, Pip feels something he can’t categorize or file away. Something that makes his careful brownie heart crack wide open. And in that moment, a collector of Christmas magic is born.
Step into the very beginning of Hollybrooke’s holiday mischief in this heartwarming prequel to How the Goblin Stole Christmas.

A cozy romantic fantasy of flowers, fae wine, and falling for your opposite under the midsummer moon.
In the enchanted village of Hollybrooke, mortals and fae live side by side—mostly in harmony, occasionally in chaos, and always under the watchful eyes of the gossiping rosebushes.
When every bottle of fae wine mysteriously vanishes just days before the Festival of Lanterns, Flora Tisen, the town’s ever-cheerful florist, finds herself roped into helping with the investigation. Her partner? The infuriatingly perfect Lord Caspian of the Glimmerlands—a half-fae vintner whose idea of teamwork involves lists, rules, and zero tolerance for “reckless enthusiasm.”
Bound together by a misfired binding charm and a shared desire to save the festival, Flora and Caspian follow a trail of starlit clues through enchanted vineyards, meddling pixies, and a suspiciously smug tea witch. Somewhere between bickering and banter, something unexpected begins to bloom.
But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: the missing wine isn’t just a theft—it’s a warning. And the only way to restore balance between their worlds may be to risk their guarded hearts.
Full of magical mishaps, flirtatious tension, and a midsummer romance that sparkles like fae wine, Midsummer Mischief is a cozy escape for fans of Legends & Lattes, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, and every reader who believes love—like magic—grows best when it’s a little wild.
She’s cursed to become a cat at sunrise.
He’s a monster who keeps secrets behind locked doors.
But at Briarhollow Manor, she finds something neither expected, a manor full of laughter, magic, and a family of misfits who feel more like home than any hearth ever did.
Emmeline Fairweather needs a cure and a place to belong. Kael needs boundaries and silence. Their bargain brings both — and something more. Surrounded by fox spirits, book-hoarding dragons, and gentle spells in every corner, Emmy must choose to save her father and walk away, or stay in a world where curses aren’t the only things that transform.
Warm, whimsical, and full of heart, The Monster’s Assistant is perfect for readers who crave gentle magic, cozy homes, and romances that bloom where you least expect them.
Six hundred years of war taught Marielle Shadowborn how to survive.
They taught her nothing about how to live.
Tired of battlefields and bloodshed, the legendary elf warrior retreats to Thistledown Hollow—a whimsical village where dragons argue about rent, trolls collect memory stones, and peace feels almost suspicious. Above a dragon’s cave, Marielle opens Memories & Milkshakes, a tiny shop serving magical milkshakes brewed from rare memoryberries—each one offering a brief taste of joy, courage, love, or long-forgotten hope.
The villagers come in droves.
A grieving wizard longing for his late husband’s laughter.
A shy dryad searching for courage.
A battle-scarred direwolf who doesn’t want silence—he wants connection.
But Marielle soon discovers a flaw in her magic.
Every memory she serves leaves an echo behind.
As the shop’s popularity grows and a bustling festival looms, Marielle finds herself carrying not just her own buried past, but fragments of everyone else’s too. Healing others means opening doors she locked six centuries ago—and some memories don’t like being stirred.
With the help of an enthusiastic troll assistant, an anxious pixie accountant, and an ancient dragon who knows a thing or two about solitude, Marielle must decide whether she’s willing to face the memories she’s spent a lifetime outrunning… or close the shop before it costs her everything.
A heartwarming cozy fantasy about second chances, found family, and the courage it takes to choose belonging over solitude—perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and magical small-town comfort reads.
