Magic in the Margins
(2026)(The second book in the Bookmarks and Broomsticks:: A Magical Midlife Witch series)
A novel by D K Bolton
She came to Thornbroom Hollow for a reset.
She stayed because the bookshop chose her.
When a few too many meaningful coincidences start circling Fable’s quiet corner of town, she realizes Thornbroom Hollow may not be as sleepy as it seems. And she still has a big decision to make about what she found waiting for her that few seem to know about.
Balancing midlife reinvention with magical responsibility wasn’t exactly in her five-year plan. Neither was a talking axolotl who prefers mystery novels, a white cat who may know more than she does, or a certain observant police chief who keeps appearing at suspiciously inconvenient moments.
But magic in Thornbroom doesn’t rush.
It nudges.
It waits.
And it expects its Keeper to listen.
As old alliances stir and new questions rise, Fable must decide whether she’s ready to step fully into the role the shop seems determined to give her.
Because in Thornbroom Hollow, magic doesn’t shout.
It settles in.
And once it does… it rarely leaves.
Genre: Fantasy
