Visit an enchanted bookstore in a town full of magic

Wandering the shelves. Finding endless adventures in the pages.
Wishing he helped create the magic.
Years later, Chris gets his chance.

An excerpt from Odds and Endings:
A Special Odds and Endings Welcome to Our Newest Writer-in-Residence: EllaJane Cole!
Chris had never heard of EllaJane, but that wasn't unusual. The resident was often a real up-and-comer, and the year spent at Odds and Endings made all the difference. He was normally delighted to play a small role in the launch of a new powerhouse author like his Auntie had before him.
Encouragement, feedback for readings and sometimes works-in-progress. Group lunches and dinners, helping the writer discover and love their home for the year.
But this year, Chris hoped to play more than a supporting role.
He hoped to be part of making it all happen.
For the first time, Chris was going to enter The Contest.
