    About this ebook

    An unwanted magick shoppe has appeared in Roshaven and is causing havoc.

    Ned Spinks, Chief Thief-Catcher, and his second-in-command, Jenni the sprite, have been ordered to encourage the magick shoppe to move on. But the shopkeeper pulls a fast one and strands Ned and Jenni in the middle of nowhere. With a dragon. They must get back to Roshaven as quickly as possible and deal with the magick shoppe before it causes any more chaos.

    If you enjoy reading humorous fantasy like Terry Pratchett's Discworld then you'll love Ye Olde Magick Shoppe from Claire Buss's Roshaven series.

      Ye Olde Magick Shoppe

      A Roshaven short story

      Claire Buss

      'It's not good enough, Spinks. It's encroaching on my potential business.' The exceptionally squat dwarf, his yard-long beard bristling with indignation, glared up at Ned Spinks, Chief Thief-Catcher.

      'You don't have a business, Crocket.'

      'It's pronounced Croquet. And that's Mr Croquet to you. And with a shop like that in the middle of my home street, I'm never going to. It's not ethical. It's... it's...' The dwarf spluttered, trying to find the right words.

      'Ism?' Jenni, Ned's second in command and a rather ripe smelling sprite, grinned at her boss as she egged on the angry dwarf.

      'Exactly! Ism! That's what it is. And it isn't right. I bet it's a tall person what runs the shoppe. Total ism, right there, on my doorstep.' Crocket was getting red with indignation.

      Ned stood up and began making conciliatory gestures toward the door. 'I'll send my best Catchers to investigate.'

      'You make sure you do.' Crocket wagged a finger at Ned, then stomped past him. He glared at Jenni as he walked out of the room. She stuck her tongue out at him.

      Ned sighed as the door slammed shut. 'How many complaints is that now?'

      'Er,' Jenni cocked her head to one side, thinking. 'Six I fink, boss. There was the greengrocers wot started complaining when the shoppe first showed up and then... then it were the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker.' She grinned triumphantly.

      'That's only four, Jenni. And I'm fairly sure you made the last three up.'

      The sprite sniggered. 'It's a shoppe boss. There's nuffink you can do 'bout it. They shows up when they likes and they goes when they likes.
