A Magical Bakery Mystery
BY BAILEY CATES
ABOUT THE BOOK:
FLOUR POWER
When Hollywood invades Savannah’s historic district to film a Revolutionary War movie, magical baker Katie Lightfoot, and her witches’ coven, the Spellbook Club, take a break from casting spells for casting calls. One of the witches snags a part as an extra, while Katie’s firefighter boyfriend, Declan, acts as on-set security. Katie and her aunt Lucy decide to stay out of the action, but after the movie’s “fixer” fires the caterer, the Honeybee Bakery comes to the rescue, working their magic to keep the hungry crew happy.
But when someone fixes the fixer—permanently—and a spooky psychic predicts Katie will find the killer, the charming baker and her fellow conjurers step in to sift through the suspects…before someone else winds up on the cutting room floor….

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Author of the Magical Bakery Mysteries. Also writes the Home Crafting Mysteries as Cricket McRae.
A former resident of the Pacific Northwest where her novels are set, Cricket McRae has always dabbled in the kind of practical home crafts that were once necessary to everyday life. The magical chemistry of making soap, the satisfaction of canning garden produce, and the sensuous side of fiber arts like spinning and knitting are just a few of the reasons these activities have fascinated her since childhood. As a girl she was as much a fan of Nancy Drew as of Laura Ingalls Wilder, so it's no surprise that her contemporary cozy series features a soap maker with a nose for investigation.
For two years Cricket managed her own soap making business, including all product design, manufacturing and marketing. She has also worked at a variety of other jobs, ranging from driver's license examiner to program manager at Microsoft. This fulfills her mother's warning that she'd never have a "regular" job if she insisted on studying philosophy and English in college.
Now she lives in Colorado, fitting her interest in all things domestic around writing, hiking, biking and, currently, learning how to hate the game of golf.

Wow - I'VE Never been comment #1 before. Maybe it will bring me good luck. I'd love an eclair or a book about one. Sounds like there are lots of things to like about this one - mystery, crafts, cooking, etc.

I realy like the idea of Hollywood invading the town to make a movie. I was in a town long ago when that happened. My son and I got to watch some of the takes!

I am a dog lover so when I went to her website I enjoyed reading about Mungo , the sleuth's dog. He's a magical dog that refuses to eat dog food.
