Hello, Dear Reader!
My name is Sarah Wallace and I am a queer Florida-based writer. My aim is to write sweet, cozy, and magical queer romances.
I have a solo series, Meddle & Mend that takes place in a queernormative and magical Regency England. The first five books in the series are out now: Letters to Half Moon Street, One Good Turn, The Education of Pip, Dear Bartleby and The Spellmaster of Tutting-on-Cress!
I also co-write with S.O. Callahan. Our first series, Fae & Human Relations, is also a queernormative and magical Regency England in which fae and humans coexist. The first book, Breeze Spells and Bridegrooms is out now. The second book, Fire Spells Between Friends will release November 21!

Whoever wins the heart of the most eligible gentleman in London will need to be an extraordinary catch indeed.
London, 1813—fae and humans alike are abuzz whenever Torquil’s Tribune drops a juicy new tidbit. At the center of the gossip is handsome fae, Emrys Wrenwhistle, heir to his family’s fortune. As speculation over his prospects grows, the search for a suitable spouse begins.
The trouble is, Emrys can’t find anyone who measures up to the person he’s been secretly seeing for years: the Tribune’s witty society writer.
Torquil Pimpernel-Smith is accustomed to using the force of gossip to pull the strings of social influence. So when they are offered a position as the Council’s first fae-human member, they readily accept.
However, their first project plunges Torquil into upper class circles rife with snobbery. Facing prejudice head-on is hard enough, without having to hide their true feelings for the eligible Emrys.
As the line of suitors starts to form, the Wrenwhistle family is intent on making a worthy match. Emrys and Torquil’s passion burns perfectly in private, but navigating society together will determine if their love is a blaze—or in danger of being extinguished.

You can’t orchestrate true love…can you?
Spellmaster Geraldine Hartford has everything she could want — a successful spell shop and close friends and family — but she’s still waiting on her own swoon-worthy romance. Her friends think their matchmaking efforts are helping, but it’s the tall, handsome stranger in town who immediately catches Gerry’s eye.
Basil Thorne’s life has turned upside down. After his father’s death, he’s found himself uprooted from Bath to become the head of a family he barely knows. Overwhelmed by responsibilities, not to mention the clamor of Tutting-on-Cress locals wishing to befriend him — only the lovely spellmaster with a twinkling smile seems to soothe Basil’s heart.
And he’s not the only one who’s noticed…
Soon it seems as though everyone in Gerry and Basil’s lives is determined to match them up. But Gerry is waiting for the surefire spark of romance and Basil is waiting until his life settles down.
They may be perfect for each other, but it will take some meddling — and a bit of magic — to bring them together.
This book is the fifth installment in the series Meddle & Mend. It can be read after Dear Bartleby or as a standalone.
Love Jane Austen or Bridgerton but wish it was queer and had magic? This is for you.
