Brewing Like a Fox
(2026)(The first book in the Sly Fox Creek Shifters series)
A novel by Heather Mayer
A bear shifter who wants to brew mead. A fox shifter who used to run cons. One small town that's hilariously good at both.
Foster Scratcher left Bear Hollow to open a brewery of his own. When a detour lands him in the quirky mountain town of Sly Creek, Foster expects pie, gas, and directions back to the highway.
They hire him, instead.
Nora Slytail spent twenty years running cons before coming home to save her late father's craft brewery. She doesn't need a ridiculously helpful bear shifter who repairs equipment, brews mead, charms her neighbors, and keeps solving problems she hasn't admitted she has.
She especially doesn't need to think he's adorable.
Sly Creek isn't an ordinary small town. Everyone in Sly Creek knows something Foster doesn't. Unfortunately, they're all having way too much fun watching him figure it out. And every attempt to leave somehow lands him right back where he started.
Some towns roll out the welcome mat.
Sly Creek hands you a job application.
