Shop The HoneyBee Dragon IRL

Come smell the stories in person. 📚🐉

The HoneyBee Dragon pops up at book festivals, markets, bookstores, wineries, and other delightfully bookish places throughout Maryland and beyond.

Come sniff candles, find your next reading mood, talk fictional men, and discover the scents that don't quite translate through a screen.

THE BOOKISH FANTASY TOUR · FALL 2026 Four stops. Several fictional worlds. An unreasonable number of candles.

Night of the Living Cryptids
