When a witchy aunt reveals a powerful secret, one thing becomes hot-flash apparent. Being a fairy godmother is harder than it looks. Iris needs to hold onto her bat-wing reading glasses. There’s more to her goddaughter than meets the eye. A hex more. As her fairy godmother, it’s up to her to fix the mess. If a certain BBQ-hustling hottie wants to kiss Iris along the way, what of it? Really. What then? Asking for a friend. Then the death of Iris’ rival gets things really cooking. The problem is nobody wants to cooperate. All except for her overzealous bird watching club, that is. Keeping them out of the murder mystery might be more trouble than it's worth. From a PTA bake sale-turned food fight to a fairy tale hijacking, trying to nail down the killer becomes more painful than Iris’ trick knee. But this murder is getting solved one way or another. Armed with an arsenal of baby attack dragons, Iris and Cindy are going to either cute their way out of this gut-busting end, or die trying. Beauty and the Beastly Trick Knee will Bibbidi Bobbidi Boom its way into your heart with laugh-out-loud action & adventure, a slow-burn romance, a cozy family of unforgettable characters, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Moving back to her hometown, she leaves all that is urban and rediscovers what it means to be alive with a forgotten magic and a drizzle of hot, gooey murder mystery. Iris is done living a life where everyone else calls the shots. Giving her slimy-dog of a husband the axe, she packs up her potion shop and moves back home to the sleepy fairytale town of Slipper Creek. Magical makeovers and baby dragons are all part of the fun. But it's not all side-splitting good times. Back aches and acid reflux aren't her only midlife witchy worries. She’s stacked against a sentient long john bent on turning the town’s culinary tastes to the gourmet and a gun-turned cat who gives the new meaning to the term hair-trigger. When a murder is added to the cauldron and her drama queen sister is the number one suspect, things really start to bubble over. A rule (or ten) isn’t about to stop this 43-year-old from uncovering a scandal so delectable it gives devil’s food cake a run for its money. But it’s bubbles, bubbles, toil, and trouble, when Iris’ fritzing magic takes a turn nobody dreamed possible. (Can you say midlife magic dragon invasion?!) Juggling her newfound powers while wading through enough clues to make Miss Marple shake her head, the game takes a deadly turn. Now, it’s a race against time to stop the killer before her own death isn’t one by chocolate. The Makeover Tale of Cindy-Rela will Bibbidi Bobbidi Boom its way into your heart with laugh-out-loud action & adventure, a cozy family of unforgettable characters, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end.
