The Carnivorous Lettuce Competition

By K Z Pendrake

A Cozy Comic Fantasy Mystery

Winning a magical gardening contest is tough. It's even tougher when your prize lettuce grows teeth and tries to eat the judges.

It's time for Quibbletown's Great Magical Gardening Competition, an event famous for fierce rivalries, explosive pumpkins, and significant collateral damage. Willy Spellburn, the city's favorite Chaotic Mage, was only trying to help Mrs. Pickleton give her prize-winning lettuces a little "boost."

Instead, he created Toothie-a towering, carnivorous leafy green with a nasty growl and a taste for magical wands.

But mutant vegetables are soon the least of Willy's problems. When rival contestants' plants are sabotaged and explosive pastries start flying, it becomes clear that someone is actively trying to derail the competition. And the culprits? A flock of highly suspicious, counterfeit glowing pigeons taking orders from a forgotten secret society.

With the help of his no-nonsense partner Mira, an arrogant pigeon named Archibald, and a small, document-eating dragon, Willy must untangle a conspiracy of ancient grudges, bureaucratic loopholes, and an audacious magical prison break.

Can Willy stop the true mastermind before the entire city is overrun by a salad of doom?

A fast-paced, hilarious fantasy mystery packed with sentient veggies, magical sabotage, and epic administrative blunders. Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, and comedic mysteries where the plants bite back.
