Dragons, Heists and Other Retirement Plans
Dragons, Heists and Other Retirement Plans
A spellbinding cosy fantasy adventure that will make you believe in second chances. Complete with dragons. And cats. And dragon-cats.
Katherine and Imogene are done with their criminal past—honestly.
They've traded in their outlaw lifestyle for seaside views, knitting projects (strictly non-magical), and only the occasional pub brawl (entirely accidental). But when an old friend begs them for help, they're back in the game.
Their last heist—the one they botched all those years ago—needs finishing. And fast.
Saint Percival's is in danger. The convent is sinking into the ground, and the dragons and nuns have been swindled out of their land by a ruthless real estate mogul. It's up to Katherine and Imogene to set things right, armed with enchanted needles and the power to knit a magical map straight to the villain's lair.
The mission? To go back to where it all ended, outwit their enemy and save Saint Percival's.
Except this time, they have the help of their beloved otherworldly cats and dragons. And the same charming rival who blew up their plans the first time round with just a wink...
What could possibly go wrong?
This delightful cosy, heist-y fantasy about friendships new and old is perfect for fans of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree.

About the Author
Meg Pennerson is an ornithologist-turned-writer who loves learning about the natural world as much as she loves exploring fantastical ones. A believer in the adage that truth is stranger than fiction, she enjoys sprinkling elements of the -ologies into her cosy fantasy. She also has a soft spot for cats and is never without a cross-stitch project in progress. Her favourite stories feature comedy and kindness or teach her something new. Her favourite place to be is outside, whether birding, hiking, or steadily transforming her backyard into a secret garden. Meg Pennerson lives in Canada with her husband and their feline lap magnet, Teddy. Dragons, Heists, and Other Retirement Plans is her first novel.
