She’ll call it luck.
You’ll know better.
Maggie Sullivan is forty-six, runs a thrift store, and has been magic for years without once admitting it.
What’s inside
An ordinary Monday, and a box marked KEEP
A small Florida town. A donation box holding forty years of a marriage. And a woman who has spent three years giving overlooked things a second look, quietly failing to notice she is one of them.
Several times in this story, something happens to Maggie that shouldn’t. Every time, she has an explanation ready — tired, sentimental, skipped breakfast, a bit of luck before coffee.
You’ll count them. She won’t.
A complete story, no cliffhanger. It’s also the Monday before The Thrift Store Thaumaturge begins — and the last time Maggie’s life makes ordinary sense.
What you’re joining
The Tuesday Club
A slightly grand name for a very relaxed arrangement: a note from me every other Tuesday. New books, the occasional behind-the-scenes peek, and sometimes a recipe Maggie’s friends would approve of. No daily deluge. Leave whenever you like.
Why Tuesday? You’ll work that out too.
Who these books are for
Cozy small-town fantasy with heroines past forty. Warm, low-heat, slow-burn, found family — and magic that mostly turns up disguised as good luck.
If you like Sarah Addison Allen or Heather Webber — or Elizabeth Hunter’s Glimmer Lake and Michelle M. Pillow’s Order of Magic — and you’ve ever wished the adventure would happen to someone your own age, you’re in the right place.
