MOLT Or, How Trash Became Couture and a Cat Became Business Partner

A cozy portal fantasy short story (~4,000 words) set in the world of The Pun Chef.

The snake migration leaves Danielle Boone's water garden buried in shed skins. Most people call it a disaster. Danielle calls it raw material.

One pun later, Molt is born — a luxury fashion line made from snakeskin that moves like silk and shifts color in the light. Scale mail that turns the valley's worst week into its most profitable. And a certain opinionated cat has already claimed her cut.

The collection drops once a year. No waiting list. No restocking. No exceptions.

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, portal fantasy romance, and magic with a sense of humor.
