Emily Croy Barker

In Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic, heroine Nora Fischer’s dissertation is stalled and her boyfriend is about to marry another woman.  During a miserable weekend at a friend’s wedding, Nora wanders off and walks through a portal into a different world where she’s transformed from a drab grad student into a stunning beauty.  Before long, she has a set of glamorous new friends and her romance with gorgeous, masterful Raclin is heating up. Then the elegant veneer shatters. Nora’s new fantasy world turns darker, a fairy tale gone incredibly wrong. Making it here will take skills Nora never learned in graduate school. When a passage home finally opens, Nora must weigh her “real life” against the dangerous power of love and magic.  Barker will be in the store to for a reading and signing.
