Talking Beasts & Cozy Fantasy: Elle Hartford’s Enchanted World
What happens when you mix a talking otter, magical beasts, porpoises who need saving and a dash of mystery? You get Elle Hartford’s enchanting How to Treat Talking Beasts.
In this episode, Elle joins me to dive into the world of Sunlit Haven—a marine biologist and animal rescuer whose sanctuary becomes the center of magical (and sometimes mischievous) attention. Sunlit’s journey is one of courage, friendship, and learning to find her voice.
Elle shares the inspiration behind her delightful mix of animal care and cozy mystery, the challenges of writing whimsical worlds that feel real, and why readers are falling in love with the Marine Sanctuary family.
Plus, we had a special guest appearance with Elle’s turtle, William!
