Tales of Cake And ComfortA Cozy Fantasy Omnibus
Tales of Cake and Comfort is a cozy fantasy omnibus combining two previously published novellas with additional bonus chapters. It follows Thea Greene from a royal baking competition in the city to starting her own café in the Northlands. Along the way she finds romance, new friends, and a faithful companion in her orange cat, Ginger.
The omnibus takes place before Thea and Nat's second chance romance novel, coming in 2025.
A baker’s daughter, their new employee, and a royal baking competition.
Nathaniel Alder is finally getting his chance to explore the big city, but things aren’t the same as back home. With barely enough coins to pay his way for three days, he’s looking for work–and as a cake nearly falls into him, he may have fallen into a job.
Winning the chance to provide the cake for a royal event is Thea Greene’s main aspiration right now–although avoiding her mother’s matchmaking is a close second. When a cheerful young man prevents her from dropping their competition cake and destroying her first goal, she finds herself in danger of failing the second…and as the baking competition goes on and Nat become part of their world, it’s becoming harder to remember why she wanted to avoid it in the first place.
Once Upon A Cake is a grumpy/sunshine, gender-swapped Little Mermaid fairy tale retelling novella. Each standalone book in the Galamere Chronicles is a retelling of a beloved story or fairy tale, with the swoon-worthy sweet romance of a Hallmark movie and the wholesome and heartwarming feeling of cozy fantasy.
A cozy café, a determined woman, and the kitten that loves them both.
Lost and alone in a bitter snowstorm, the tiny orange kitten has no home, no food, and no name, until she’s scooped up by the new arrival in town, Thea. Snuggled into warm, loving arms for the first time, she’s given the name Ginger, and the two of them set out to make Thea’s dream of owning a café a reality.
But the local tavern owner is determined to have no competition in town, and Thea's persistence may not be enough to carry them through. Can Thea and Ginger make the Cozy Cat Café come to life, or will they be forced to leave the safe haven of the Northlands?
Once Upon A Café is a cozy fantasy novella in the Galamere Chronicles told from the point of view of a cat, featuring the wholesome and heartwarming feeling of cozy fantasy and the comfort of a found family of friends.

Gabrielle Landi
Gabrielle Landi is an author who brings the magic of small-town life, second-chance love, and sweet, heartfelt romance to the page. A resident of Southern Indiana, she lives with her husband, children, and an ever-growing army of stray cats that seem to find their way to her front porch. Between chasing kids, brewing coffee (sometimes more than she'd like to admit), and sneaking chocolate whenever she can, Gabrielle's days are as full as the pages of her books.
Gabrielle’s writing journey started with a dare at the age of fifteen, when a friend challenged her to try Camp NaNoWriMo. That first attempt might have been imperfect, but it sparked a passion that never dimmed. What began as a hobby quickly blossomed into a full-fledged career, with Gabrielle now creating stories that transport readers to cozy, romantic worlds filled with characters they can’t help but root for.
The Galamere Chronicles
In The Galamere Chronicles, the line between myth and reality is razor-thin, and the fate of a world teetering on the edge of chaos rests in the hands of those brave enough to confront the darkness that binds it.

The Galamere Chronicles consists of four primary books, and includes five additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Reviews and Comments
I had previously read and enjoyed Once Upon A Café but enjoyed the story better as a whole with the extra chapters in this omnibus. Thea & Nathaniel are great characters that I really enjoyed getting to know and I look forward to seeing how things come together for them in Once Upon A Cat: A Cozy Fantasy Frog Prince Retelling. Ginger the cat is also really cute. I look forward to reading about Sophia since her story is still on my TBR List as well as Dietrich in the next book being released.
