Custom Made Magic

Los Angeles in 1980 is a magical place for fashion and style. Frances Blivens, known to her friends as Frak, dreams of opening her own shop and launching a line of unisex office wear. In the meantime, she works for Pamela Van Plotz as a design assistant, sweeping up pins, helping her coworkers unionize, and serving the clients who aren't quite human.The Wild Seals hired Van Plotz Design Studio to make bolero jackets for their concert. Frak is a huge fan. However, after the show, someone poisoned the Seals and stole the new jackets, as well as the Seals' selkie coats, which give them the power to shift from human to seal and back again. Frak agrees to help. Before she knows it, she is involved in a dangerous search for clues that takes her into a world of supernatural creatures, some of whom would rather eat humans than help them. Carol M. Booton writes cozy fantasies on a coziness spectrum, from comfy-cozy humorous magical mysteries involving silliness, fashion, and the search for life's meaning and purpose to darkly humorous and somewhat disturbing tales of magical creatures lost in the human world.
