Bad Hair and Other Hexes, a paranormal romcom concept package. The graphic shows 4 novel covers and the free lead magnet, The Fringe That Told on Me.

The concept

Auntie Bee’s salon in Cardiff specialises in tiny, temporary charms. For a few hours a curl can point to somebody you miss, a blow-dry can lift more than hair and a fringe can betray a carefully rehearsed lie. Four regulars sign up willingly. The complications start when a new haircut proves more honest than the person wearing it.

Rhiannon buys the charm that points her fringe at the person on her mind. She wants to remember the name of a forgotten classmate. Her hair spends all morning leaning towards the man sweeping the floor. The free companion novella is The Fringe That Told on Me.

The worldThe witches explain each charm, ask permission and offer a rinse that ends it. Magic affects hair and harmless objects. Attraction and answers belong to the people involved.
Series tropesHidden World • Flirtatious Teasing Banter • Opposites Attract
Intended readershipAdults who enjoy magical workplace comedy, grown-up flirting and beauty disasters worth a second date.
Tone & contentPlayful, low open-door heat. Every spell is voluntary and reversible.
