Authors Unveil The Eureka Secret Collection, a Fantasy Saga Set in the Ozarks
Sep 15, 2026
Alexandria, Virginia Sep 14, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Beneath the winding streets and Victorian rooftops of one of the Ozarks' most beloved mountain towns, something has always been humming. Writing duo Seth Mitchell and Lesli Sherwin invite readers to finally listen. The Eureka Secret Collection is an interconnected series of fantasy novels and novellas that turns a real American town into a doorway between the ordinary world and something older, stranger, and more powerful hiding just beneath the stone.
Spanning warm, all-ages wonder to atmospheric adult fantasy, the collection weaves a single mythology across its titles -- a world of hearthkeepers and yarb witches, forgotten paths between worlds, and an ancient power binding the living, the dead, and the land itself. Each book opens a different window onto the same secret, and readers can enter almost anywhere and find their way to the rest.
"Some stories are adventures. Some stories are warnings. And some are both," reads the line that recurs across the collection's covers -- a promise the books make good on, braiding cozy hearthfire warmth with genuine mystery and a shiver of the uncanny.
Grounding the fantastical in a real, walkable town gives the collection an unusual intimacy: the magic doesn't happen in a faraway kingdom, but where a reader could stand tomorrow, if only they knew how to listen. Arriving as "cozy fantasy" continues its rise, the series is aimed at readers who love hearthfire tales, herbal magic, hidden places, and Ozark folklore.
EARLY PRAISE
"I finished my book -- and girl, you nailed it! Congratulations. I felt like I was in the story the whole time. I love it. I can't wait to have the rest of it to read."
-- Early reader
"The world is larger, stranger, and more powerful than we imagined," say the authors, who publish together as S. Mitchell & L. Sherwin, "and some of its greatest treasures reveal themselves only to those patient enough to notice."
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
- Mitchell and L. Sherwin are the creators of The Eureka Secret Collection, a shared universe of adventure, mystery, magic, and discovery set in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Inspired by a lifelong love of stories, folklore, role-playing games, and the rich history of the Ozarks, they are building a world where books, character cards, interactive adventures, and readers all become part of the same ongoing journey.
Together they created the Lattice, the Adventure License system, collectible character cards, and the stories of Blaze, Ayla, Bryce, Winter, Strawberry, Memaw, and the many mysteries hidden beneath the mountains. Their goal is simple: to create stories that invite readers not only to explore a world, but to become adventurers within it.

Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
