In her debut fantasy novel, Funky Dan and the Pixie Dream Girl, Courtney Lanning pokes funs at contemporary romance and fantasy tropes with both humor and respect. Roxie is a sweet trans girl who just wants to spend the rest of her summer vacation playing music with her friends in their band. Living in a southern college town like Fayetteville has its challenges. Dan is a shop wizard who would give anything to escape the store he's been trapped in for a century under the watchful eyes of a witch and a talking fox. Their paths converge when Roxie is given the ability to travel into dreams and tasked with fighting off nightmares. Unbeknownst to Dan and Roxie, other dream walkers are searching for an enchanted key, and if they find it, they'll plunge the entire city into a living nightmare. The shop wizard and pixie dream girl will have to team up to stop them, facing their own nightmares along the way.

Things could not be going worse for Aoife O'Connell when she's thrown out of her house by her overly zealous abusive guardian, Barb. Her life is soon changed forever when a witch introduces Aoife to her fey guardian, Adrienn. The newly homeless girl learns she's the last living member of a powerful clan of druids who once guarded the Ozarks Mountains from magical threats, both ancient and new. Binding her soul to a wolf familiar, Aoife sets out to unravel the mystery of her parents' murder. The journey will lead her to dark places, but with the help of Adrienn and Aoife's familiar, Ruad, she'll seek the necromancer that slaughtered her clan and build a new family of her own as alpha of the clan. In the second novel in her Boston Magic Mountain series, Courtney Lanning once again pokes fun at contemporary romance and fantasy tropes with both humor and respect.
