Fortunes for Maplewick

Fortunes for Maplewick
Book 2 of the Maplewick Series

The ovens at Maple & Sage are never still, but this October, something strange is rising in the dough.

When baker Ruth Carrow-Whitlock discovers an old family cookbook tucked inside her sister Mavis's bookshop, she thinks it's just another heirloom from the Greymoor shelves. Then her "Festival Fortune Buns" begin whispering truths no one wrote-small kindnesses, playful predictions... and, sometimes, secrets the town isn't ready to hear.

As Maplewick prepares for its annual Halloween Festival-complete with skeleton contests, caramel-apple booths, and enough cider rivalry to fill a barrel-the fortunes stir curiosity, laughter, and a few uneasy hearts. When one cryptic message lands too close to home, Ruth must decide whether the magic she's awakened is a gift or a responsibility.

Meanwhile, old ghosts linger at the edges of the season, watching as Maplewick's warmth meets its mysteries-and as one family learns that every truth, no matter how surprising, can be turned into something sweet.

Return to the cozy, lantern-lit world of Maplewick-where magic hides in the flour dust, ghosts offer advice from the rafters, and love always finds its way home.

Perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and The Ex-Hex; Fortunes for Maplewick is a heartwarming, magical-realism romance about family, forgiveness, and the power of a well-timed fortune.

The paperback includes a Book Club Kit and a recipe from Ruth's kitchen!
