Cauldron Confusion

Clocks are running backward, furniture is rearranging itself, and the pipes at the Copper Spoon are developing a personality.

Karen inherited her grandmother's copper cauldron, a box of enchanted tools, and a knack for fixing spells gone wrong. Now she's trying to launch a practical magic repair business while keeping her job at the restaurant and not overthinking her slow-burn thing with her charming boss, Mike Reynolds.

The town's magic has other plans. Silverware relocates on its own. Greenhouses grow out of control. And every fix Karen makes sets off a bigger mess somewhere else.

At the center of it all is a decades-old magical experiment. Enchanted copper fittings, mysterious brass keys, and a forgotten transfer system that links buildings all over town. Her grandmother and her partner thought they'd solved it years ago. They were wrong.

Armed with a battered notebook, a stubborn cat, a suspiciously useful cauldron, and a deep respect for cast iron, Karen has to find the source before the town's magical plumbing turns everyday life upside down.

No chosen ones. No saving the universe. Just a middle-aged witch with attitude, a wrench, and the good sense to know which valve to turn, which spell to leave alone, and when to call a plumber.

A cozy, funny urban fantasy mystery with small-town characters, magical household disasters, and a little romance.
