Cauldron Confusion

 Cauldron Confusion

A Humorous Urban Fantasy Mystery

Some witches summon demons. Karen Miller fixes plumbing. And somehow, her problems are worse.

Karen Miller never planned on becoming the town's go-to expert for magical disasters. But when you've inherited your grandmother's mysterious copper cauldron, a collection of enchanted tools, and a talent for fixing spells gone wrong, ordinary life becomes anything but ordinary.

Now Karen is launching her own practical magic repair business, juggling her job at the Copper Spoon restaurant, and navigating an unexpected romance with her charming boss, Mike Reynolds.

Unfortunately, the town's magic has other plans.

Clocks run backward. Furniture moves on its own. Silverware mysteriously relocates. Greenhouses grow out of control. And the restaurant's plumbing seems determined to develop a personality.

At the center of the chaos is a decades-old magical experiment involving enchanted copper fittings, mysterious brass keys, and a forgotten transfer system that connects seemingly unrelated buildings across town.

Karen's late grandmother and her brilliant partner thought they'd solved the problem years ago.

They were wrong.

Now an aging network of magical connections is malfunctioning, spreading unpredictable enchantments from one household to another. And every attempt to fix one magical mishap threatens to create an even bigger disaster somewhere else.

Armed with a battered notebook, a stubborn cat, a suspiciously useful cauldron, and a healthy appreciation for cast iron, Karen must untangle the mystery before the town's magical infrastructure turns everyday life upside down.

But repairing a broken spell is one thing.

Fixing a magical system that doesn't know it's broken? That's an entirely different kind of witchcraft.

And Karen is about to discover that sometimes the most powerful magic isn't found in ancient prophecies or dangerous rituals.

It's knowing which valve to turn, which spell to leave alone, and when to call a plumber.
