About the Book
When Jacob Bright strikes out on his own and moves to a new island, he quite unexpectedly finds himself the owner of a failing, capybara-themed pub named Mrs. Covington’s. He quickly learns that he’s going to have to make new friends and innovate if it’s going to succeed. But when he learns that a neighboring Faun food restaurant, run by his kindhearted new friend, might have to close its doors, his priorities change.
Years ago, a reclusive wealthy woman lived on the island, and she wrote a clue in poem form which leads to a mysterious buried treasure. The treasure may be just the thing they need to save the restaurant, but they aren’t the only people seeking it.
Mrs. Covington’s is a cozy fantasy book brimming with kindness, empathy, found family, and nachos.

About the Author
KRR (Kyle Robert Redundant) Lockhaven started out writing humorous fantasy (hence the stupid pen name) but now finds himself being pulled in the direction of cozy fantasy.
[N.B.: “Stupid” is the verbiage supplied to me by Escapist Book Tours, and (it seems) the author. I happen to like the pen name.]
and now…
The Cover
That’s a cover that’d make me stop and take a second and third look. Everything about that just pops off the screen. It’s the kind of image that begs for a full wrap-around cover, right? Like this:
I’d buy a (reasonably priced) print of that one! (to see it in its full glory, click the image or here.)
Be sure to check out the website and/or Instagram page of the artist, Daniel Wekellis.
