Critics Review
“Perfect for Studio Ghibli fans and those who wish farm simulator games came in book form.” – Publishers Weekly
“England adds emotional depth and a sprinkling of sadness to this…wonderfully cozy fantasy.” – Library Journal, Starred Review
“Start with a cup of cozy fantasy, add a sprinkle of found family, and bake in the warm glow of self-forgiveness and acceptance. The end result is a charming story of love, magic, and community as sweet as one of Oaklin’s apples and as soft as Ryn’s charmed sweet rolls.” – Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author
“A delightful cozy tale of redemption, community, and second chances. No one does queer found family like England, and this book is perfect for anyone who’s ever played a certain farm simulation game and wanted to escape to just such a place. I adored it!” – Jamie Pacton, bestselling author of The Absinthe Underground and Homegrown Magic
“Cozy fantasy at its most charming, the pages of Field Guide for the Formerly Villainous are brimming with wit, whimsy, and a whole lot of magic. I want to move to Mossley’s Rest as soon as possible.” – Rosiee Thor, author of Dead & Breakfast
Autumn England
Autumn K. England grew up on the Space Coast of Florida watching shuttle launches from the backyard. These days, they live on a micro-farm in rural Virginia packed with video and board games, plants, D&D books, and their kindergartener’s giant personality. They’re probably covered in dirt right now.
