title: The Treehugger and the Gillie
author: Elder, Stephen
description: The Treehugger and the Gillie is just another silly love story. What’s wrong with that?
  When construction worker Dan Warden is ordered to cut down some large old trees, there are unintended consequences. He’s made ten dryads homeless, and they’re unhappy. Bad things can happen if you mess with dryads. Dan tries to convince the ladies that it wasn’t his intent. He offers to help them find new homes, but will the dryad leader forgive him or punish him?
  Poor mortal Dan compounds his problem by falling in love with one of the dryads. Love is always difficult when the lovers are so different. Is a transspecies love even possible in this day and age?
