“Mistress of Bees collects the adventures of Lady Maris Goselin, who is introduced to us as if we’re about to read a collection of tales suitable for children. But Lady Maris has no intention of bowdleriz-ing her own bawdy retellings. In presenting the unvarnished truth, she reveals herself as a perpetually lustful, ill-tempered, immodest, and sly practitioner of bee magic. Here she takes on human villains and mad conjurers, a magic-user with a rat in her hair, a dead cat, a race of goblins, and even, now and again, conjured creatures from other worlds. Bernie Mojzes serves up one rollicking adventure af-ter another in the entertaining and true recollections of Lady Maris.”

“The perfect blend of magic, adventure, humor, and heart. Each interlinked story builds upon the last, creating a rich and full tapes-try of a living, breathing world.”
