ABOUT FIRST BLOOM
After a lifetime of failing to control her wild magic, Princess Aurelia of Serremont is determined to flourish in Florevale. Seizing her only chance at life on her own, she disguises herself as Lia, a first-year student at the University, and ventures into the city’s café-lined streets, corner boulangeries, and blooming gardens.
Between magical classes and training with her faerie tutors, she takes a job at the school’s beloved Apple Blossom Café. There, among seasonal lattes and climbing roses, she discovers unexpected companions in her tour-guide-turned-best-friend, Elle, and her fellow barista, Adrian. Thoughtful, charming Adrian, who's utterly unaware of the secrets she carries despite the sparks igniting between them.
But even as her new life blossoms with laughter-filled lunches and candlelit evenings on her balcony, Aurelia’s magic threatens to upend everything. To hold onto the world she’s building, she’ll have to learn to trust herself, lean on others, and take a few daring chances along the way.

About the Author
As a destination wedding photographer, Katie considers herself an expert in love stories.
She wrote her first in third grade (during a unit on Greek mythology, her heroine “Tornada” scoured the Earth to find a lost love), and grew up on a steady diet of Lord of the Rings, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and, of course, Disney princesses. Today she lives in Maryland with her college sweetheart David and their beautiful daughter Madelyn.
When she’s not traveling the world photographing love, tending her ever-expanding heirloom rose garden, baking “rainbow unicorn” cookies, or savoring gluten-free treats in a garden in Paris, you can usually find her curled up with her cats, an iced latte, and a great book.
