  • No, but Evanjeline is very real to us! She is a Master Groomer who navigates the high-pressure world of professional pet styling while balancing a "gift" that allows her to communicate with the pets on her table. Think of it as 50% technical grooming and 50% supernatural mystery.

  • The incredible cover art was created by Cayela Sherman of Knightmare Aesthetic. Her designs have always awed me, and I just had to have her creation on my book.
