Grab your rolling pin and tie your apron. The Pobyd Perfections Bakery is open for business!
Magical baker Lillie has just moved to a brand new fantasy town, ready to start fresh and leave her villainous past behind. The world has changed once more, and she's allowed to live openly as a pobyd and use her magic to create amazingly delicious confections. But when a threatening blackmail letter ends up on her door, she's got to put aside her apron for an amateur sleuth hat to figure out who might want magical creatures to get out of town.
A Drizzle of Magic is the first novel in The Pobyd Perfections Bakery cozy fantasy mystery series. For fans of low stakes fantasy like J. Penner's Fellowship of Baker and Magic, KF Breene's Magical Midlife Series, and SL Rowland's Cursed Cocktails, as well as cozy fantasy titles like Legends and Lattes and The Spellshop, this is a low stakes, light-hearted magical story with found family, good friends, and delicious food set in a small town.
Note: While this series is set in the same world as the Weary Dragon Inn, it's not necessary to have read that series to enjoy The Pobyd Perfections Bakery Series.
S. Usher Evans is an author, blogger, and witty banter aficionado. Born in a small, suburban town in northwest Florida, she was seventeen before she realized that not all beach sand is white. From a young age, she has always been a long-winded individual, first verbally (to the chagrin of her ever-loving parents) and then eventually channeled into the many novels that dotted her Windows 98 computer in the early 2000's. After high school, she got the hell outta dodge and went to school near the nation's capital, where she somehow landed jobs at National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and the British Broadcasting Corporation, capping off her educational career with delivering the commencement address to 20,000 of her closest friends. She determined she'd goofed off long enough with that television nonsense and got a "real job" as an IT consultant. Yet she continued to write, developing 20 page standard operating procedures and then coming home to write novels about bounty hunters, teenage magic users, and other nonsense. After a severe quarter life crisis at age 27, she decided to finally get a move on and share those novels with the world in hopes that she will never have to write another SOP again.
