Melody R. Green Books Wins Bronze at the 2025 Global Book Awards

NATIONWIDE - SEPTEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) — It was in the quiet of her Armidale home that Melody R. Green first felt the spark of an idea that would eventually blossom into international recognition. Surrounded by notebooks, tarot cards, and the scent of something sweet baking in the oven, she envisioned a series where magic did not just belong in dusty tomes or faraway lands, but in the everyday. That vision grew into her acclaimed trilogy, Maggie McCready’s Travelling Tarot Adventures, and from it, the companion book Wish Bombs, Baking Spells and Recipes. In 2025, that work was honored with a Bronze Medal at the Global Book Awards.

For Green, the recognition was more than a line on her résumé. It was a moment of affirmation, proof that readers around the world were hungry for stories that combine cozy realism with mystical whimsy. “I have always believed magic lives in small, intentional acts,” she reflects. “Baking, reading cards, sharing stories, these are the spells that bind us together.”

The Origin of Melody R. Green Books

Before publishing and awards, Melody was known as an angel intuitive and soul strategist. She built her life around helping others navigate the complexities of love and human connection. Clients valued her ability to listen deeply and offer perspective rooted in both intuition and experience.

That same commitment to connection shaped her transition into writing. When she turned to fiction, her goal was not to escape reality but to mirror it in new and imaginative ways. She wanted readers to explore questions that often surface in real life: How do we heal? How do we trust? How do we remain open to wonder?

This approach led to Maggie McCready’s Travelling Tarot Adventures. The trilogy blended reality with magic, inviting readers into everyday spaces such as bookshops, kitchens, and caravans where tarot and storytelling intersect.

A Book That Bridges Story and Recipe

The trilogy naturally gave rise to something more practical and interactive. Wish Bombs, Baking Spells and Recipes became not only a collection of recipes but also a continuation of Maggie McCready’s world. Each dish carried a touch of whimsy and intention, encouraging readers to engage with story and sustenance at the same time.

“Food has always been one of the most magical connectors in my life,” Green explains. “When we bake, we do more than combine ingredients. We create something filled with love, memory, and intention.”

This combination of narrative and practicality gave readers the opportunity to not only imagine Maggie’s adventures but also to recreate flavors from the trilogy. The companion book added texture to her world and invited participation, making it stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Recognition on a Global Stage

The 2025 Global Book Awards honored Wish Bombs, Baking Spells and Recipes with a Bronze Medal. The award recognized both the originality of the book and the growing popularity of cozy magical realism.

The recognition represented more than prestige. It highlighted Green’s successful experiment in blending storytelling with recipes, showing that books can be both imaginative and functional. For readers, the award confirmed the book’s quality and creativity. For Green, it marked a moment of visibility within a global conversation about how literature can bridge genres.

A Distinctive Place in Literature

Melody R. Green occupies a unique niche. She does not write spells in isolation or recipes as stand-alone instructions. Instead, she interlaces the two, creating experiences that readers can taste, share, and reflect upon.

Her background as both author and soul strategist gives her writing unusual depth. She views stories as more than entertainment. They become tools for reflection and transformation, inviting readers to find new meaning in small rituals.

This perspective distinguishes her work and contributes to her growing reputation among readers who seek literature that combines comfort with imagination.

The Human Story at the Center

While awards bring recognition, Green’s appeal rests on her ability to tell human stories. Her fiction explores everyday challenges such as trust, belonging, and healing. By placing magic within ordinary moments, she creates narratives that resonate on a personal level.

Readers often describe her books as warm, reflective, and engaging. Rather than feeling distant, her stories invite conversation and companionship. This accessibility ensures her work continues to attract readers beyond the award spotlight.

Looking Ahead

With the trilogy complete and the companion book now award winning, Green is poised to continue expanding her world of cozy magical realism. The Global Book Awards recognition has opened doors for greater visibility and readership, yet her core mission remains the same: to remind readers that wonder can be found in the ordinary.

Whether through recipes, fiction, or reflective storytelling, she continues to craft works that nurture both imagination and spirit.
