The Wizard's Cat
It started with a dandelion.
Innocuous. Ubiquitous.
Who knew it was a warning?
After claiming his big bonus, things are coming up roses for Roger Mulligan. A job he loves. A house that feels like home. Money in the bank. A solid roof over his head and job security.
But when he finds a dandelion on the pristine grounds of Shackleford House, he starts down a twisted, garden path. Old man Shackleford says the fairies have a problem, the pixies keep falling down on the job, and the house seems to grow weaker by the day.
He's soon tossed into a confusing mixture of fact and fantasy, accompanied by Shackleford's cousin and - of all things - a stray cat. Surrounded by the fantastical, it's hard to tell magic from mundane.

Nathan Lowell
Nathan Lowell has been a writer for more than forty years, and first entered the literary world by podcasting his novels. His sci-fi series, The Golden Age of the Solar Clipper grew from his long time fascination with space opera and his own experiences shipboard in the United States Coast Guard. Unlike most works which focus on a larger-than-life hero (prophesized savior, charismatic captain, or exiled prince), Nathan centers on the people behind the scenes – ordinary men and women trying to make a living in the depths of space. In his novels, there are no bug-eyed monsters, or galactic space battles, instead he paints a richly vivid and realistic world where the "hero" uses hard work and his own innate talents to improve his station and the lives of those of his community.
The Wizard's Butler
Magic can be hidden in plain sight, not behind ancient battlefields or forgotten kingdoms, but inside an old house, a quiet neighborhood, and the life of someone who thought his greatest adventures were already behind him.
In The Wizard's Butler, an unexpected career change leads Roger Mulligan, a former soldier and emergency responder, into a world where the impossible is treated with patience, practicality, and a surprising amount of household management. Hired to serve an elderly man who claims to be a wizard, Roger soon discovers that caring for a magical estate requires more than keeping rooms tidy. It demands trust, curiosity, and the ability to recognize wonders that most people would never notice.
The Wizard's Butler consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
