Baking Up a Magical Midlife Books 1-4: A Magical Paranormal Women's Fiction Series

Embracing a midlife transformation has never been more delicious or baffling.

At best, she's expecting a kitschy candy dish, at worst a beloved taxidermied pet, so when Cassie-newly divorced, single mom with zero prospects-discovers she's inheriting a fully stocked bakery along with a beautifully furnished apartment from a mysterious great aunt, she's convinced she must be dreaming.

The apartment that bizarrely adapts itself to her whims, and the friendly neighbor floating fireballs over her head, aren't helping.

Cassie has two choices. She can hightail it out of this bewildering town and figure out another way to support her pre-teen daughter. Or she can stay and live the life of her dreams in this unsettling place where the rules of physics don't seem to apply, and people are suspiciously friendly and welcoming.

When Cassie and her daughter agree to give this new place a trial run (the fantastic pet shop next door is a helpful draw), she's not convinced they've made the right choice. That hesitation just might cost her the fantastic life she and her daughter deserve.

Butter, Sugar, Magic, the first book in the tantalizingly delicious Baking Up a Magical Midlife Paranormal Women's Fiction series by Jessica Rosenberg, is packed with surprise magic, fantastic friendships, found family, and the joy of finally discovering where you belong.

Welcome to the small beach town of Portney. The coffee is hot, the pastries are magical, and your new friends can't wait to hang out with you.
