The Dire Deeds

By A R Marsh

Twelve aging, arty misfits living in Hermitville, an intentional community on the lush Eastern coast of Hawai'i Island, are plunged into paranormal pandemonium when they're accosted by a group of equally misfit Elves who insist on teaching them the ancient magic of The Guild of Ornamental Hermits, as if their lives depended on it. The Elves and their human students are soon besieged by greedy real estate speculators and a cluster of paranormal bad guys all eager to get their mitts on Hermitville. Meanwhile the cosmic powers that govern the islands are royally ticked off and demand the Elves put an end to the turmoil, or else And the sleepy town of Pahoa doesn't know what to make of the Elves, surely some of the strangest tourists the town has ever seen

Quirky, funny, exciting, and full of queer and otherwise diverse characters, The Dire Deeds is a tale of "mid-life magic" and the first book in The Guild of Ornamental Hermits fantasy series.
