The Willowbrook Magic Series

From The Enchanted Book Club, Book 1 of the Willowbrook Magic Series
Elena Crane, 52, stood in her magical bookshop at opening time and watched the books arrange themselves.
Not floating — nothing so dramatic. They simply shifted, spine by spine, until each one settled where it was meant to be. After three years, she still caught her breath every morning at the sight of it. The Page & Potion: warm light, the scent of old paper and something faintly electric, shelves that knew their own mind. Hers.
Her phone buzzed. Sophie. She watched the screen light up and dark again, light up and dark, and told herself she'd call back after opening.
She had built the most beautiful hiding place she'd ever seen. She was only beginning to suspect that was the problem.

The Willowbrook Magic Series

Ongoing

The Willowbrook Magic Series is a fifteen-book cozy fantasy romance saga set in the hidden magical town of Willowbrook — a sanctuary community where people with awakened magic live beyond the reach of an all-controlling governing body called the Covenant.

The series begins with Elena Crane, a 52-year-old divorcée who discovers her long-dormant book magic and finds refuge in Willowbrook's enchanted bookshop, The Page & Potion. What starts as one woman's quiet reinvention becomes the story of an entire community — choosing openness over fear, connection over isolation, and chosen family over every wall they once built to keep the world out.

Each book follows a new protagonist — from a grieving librarian to a reformed Covenant enforcer, from a chaos-magic tattoo artist to a centuries-old time-witch — yet the ensemble heart of Willowbrook threads them all together. Characters fall in love, rebuild fractured families, negotiate international magical treaties, expose conspiracies, and eventually guide humanity through first contact with beings from other dimensions.

At its core, the series is about the walls people build to protect themselves — and the courage it takes to open the door. It celebrates love in all its forms: romantic, queerplatonic, aromantic, polyamorous, and the deep bonds of chosen family. It centres women in their forties, fifties, sixties, and beyond, insisting that reinvention and joy are not the exclusive domain of the young.
