Author Spotlight: Kris Bock Is Here with Kitties and Magic!

The Magical Cat Cafe 2

by Kris Bock

In The Magical Cat Café and Teashop series, the ordinary and the magical come together over hot drinks, sweet treats, and rescued cats. This small town café becomes a sanctuary for people carrying old hurts, uncertain hopes, and the need for a little kindness.

Friendship Fiction

Through interconnected stories of café customers and their feline companions, these novels explore the healing power of friendship, community, and second chances. Each visit brings a new connection and a small transformation, proving that sometimes the most meaningful changes begin with a warm cup, a purring cat, and a safe place to be yourself.

Perfect for readers who enjoy gentle, uplifting fiction such as The Midnight Bookshop, We’ll Prescribe You a Cat, Before the Coffee Gets Cold, and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop.

The Café Crew

Volume 1 introduced cafe owner Greta and six visitors who became found family.

“This book made me smile many times, it is so lovely and heartwarming. I loved every minute of it. Highly recommended!” – Ann

“I adore the connections and the utter sweetness of this tale. I’d love to visit for real… but I don’t know if I would ever leave!” – Dawn

New Friends and Felines

In volume 2, new visitors meet and mingle, finding joy and friendship. The theme is transformation:

• An artist recovering from a stroke figures out how to keep doing what he loves.
• A widow explores ways to express herself in this new stage of life.
• A man leaves his secure career to build a new life as a yoga teacher.
• A young woman finds the love and acceptance she didn’t get from her parents.

And of course, cats choose the people who will take them home.

“This is a lovely heartwarming story, and of course don’t forget the cats, who seem to know more about the humans and who needs them the most. I loved reading this book, and can’t wait to read the next book in the series – and of course hoping for a lot more books in this series.” – Susan

I wrote seven romance novels set at a cat cafe, but this is a departure. While there is a touch of romance in volume 2, the focus is found family: friends and neighbors who build a community to accept and support each other. The vibe is cozy and comforting, because who doesn’t need more warmth in their life?
