Jars of Magic and Mischief

Nobody saves a village with preserves. Eric Stone is going to try anyway.

Eric Stone has an ethnobotany degree, forty-seven dollars and three days until eviction, so he signs on for a remote herbalist job without reading the fine print. The fine print was a portal. Now he has a falling-down homestead outside the village of Oakhollow, a stat screen that lists his class as Error, and a village that has watched twelve homesteaders fail before him. But Eric knows plants, and in this world a man who knows plants can make jam that does things.

For readers who loved Beware of Chicken, Heretical Fishing and Legends & Lattes. Rated 4.6 stars by early readers on Amazon.
