Publisher Kathryn Taussig has acquired World All Language rights in ebook, paperback, and audio from bestselling cozy fantasy author Jessica Rosenberg. The new Scottish-set series features crossover characters from Rosenberg’s beloved The Witches of Portney books, offering readers a warm and funny cozy fantasy journey with a touch of romance, plenty of tea and baked goods, and all the feels.
Rosenberg, who has sold over 250,000 copies across her bestselling self-published series, moves her stories to the Scottish Highlands with this new trilogy centred on women embracing second chapters and coming into their own.
The first book in the series will be published in autumn 2026, with books two and three following in 2027.
Taussig commented:
“Jessica writes the kind of books that feel just like a cup of tea with your best friends curled up in front of a roaring fire – it’s why she’s been called the Queen of #FriendshipCore fiction. Her ability to write communities of women who lift each other up, wrapped in the gentlest of magic and the most delicious descriptions of cookies and cakes, is unique. Fans of Jessica’s previous bestsellers like Butter, Sugar, Magic are going to be thrilled to spot some familiar faces in this gorgeous new story and new readers are going to be obsessed! We’re so proud to welcome her to Storm.”
Rosenberg said:
“Partnering with Kathryn Taussig and the incredible team at Storm Publishing on this series feels like the kind of magic I usually only get to experience vicariously through my characters! I’m so excited to expand the world of the Witches of Portney into Scotland with a publisher who shares my passion for uplifting, friendship- centered fiction about women who find their power and discover where they belong a little later in life. There’s something special about working with a team who believes so deeply in their authors and their stories—I couldn’t be more excited for this new chapter and to, dare I say it, take the world by Storm with them!”
