Magical Twist (Midlife Witchery, #3)

2021

Rumor has it that midlife is for drinking wine, traveling, and discovering the joy of life. But there's no rest for the wicked. Or for a Fae-witch hybrid like myself. Danger follows me everywhere - even to the grocery store - as the evil entity continues to stalk supernaturals in Cottlehill Wilds. But I barely have time to worry about that now that the Fae Queen is dead. My bad. No, seriously. I let my power loose and it took over. Leaving Grams behind to return to Eidothea and fight a war wasn't exactly in my plans. As usual, I'm totally clueless. At least I have my orthotic inserts to keep me on my feet and Sebastian and his irresistible kisses to lift my spirits when things go wrong. And let's face it: things are going to go wrong. Just because I can cast a spell without burning off my eyebrows now doesn't mean I can survive giant trolls, bogharts, or the insane Fae King. And since my best friends refuse to let me face this battle alone, the stress of saving the realm and the people I love most in both worlds is threatening to turn me prematurely grey. Sometimes being the Guardian really sucks.

Forged in Magical Fire (Midlife Witchery, #5)

2021

Guess who just discovered her Phoenix lineage? I'd rather go back to just being cursed. Hot flashes have nothing on bursting into flames... Imps are taking over Cottlehill Wilds, wreaking havoc at every turn. Chasing them around my store with unreliable magic, while not alerting the mundies, is harder than raising twins. To make matters worse, the target on my back has never been bigger since I killed the demon our resident psychopath summoned. Car bombs and ambush hoards? Someone really wants me out of the picture. And wouldn't you know that Fate has decided to mess with whatever is developing between me and Thanos just as I finally decided to open up to him. Bad news for all the haters: it's going to take more than a car bomb, a trip to the Underworld, and a dip in the River Lethe to get under my lightly wrinkled skin. With a top-of-the-line moisturizer and a fully charged fire extinguisher, I've got this too.

Magical Moxie (Midlife Witchery, #10)

2022

The Dark One, Blood Magic, and a goddess with a vendetta are all in a day's work for the Backside of Forty. And they pale in comparison to being the single mom of a dragon baby. The magical world doesn't believe in maternity leave. As soon as my baby arrives the Dark One doubles her efforts to steal enough power to become a goddess. Set on a wild goose chase that leaves too many mundie victims along the way, I haven't had a moment's rest. The secret of paranormals is about to be exposed and the hellmouth is on the verge of collapse. No one is safe in Cottlehill Wilds and it's up to my best friends and me to make sure evil doesn't prevail. Didn't I mention we're superheroines? With the man that I love by my side and a new baby to care for, I have more on the line than ever before. This is the fight of our lives, and it will take all of my wit and power to eliminate the threat to our world. Now is the time we show our enemies why messing with our coven is a bad idea.

Demonic Stones & Creaky Bones (Mystical Midlife in Maine, #8)

2022

Being held prisoner is just the beginning of my descent into despair. It's the poison and the desperate escape that seal the deal. The stakes are higher than ever when I wake up tied to a strange table. Once I have my bearings, I realize that the Dark witch battling me from the very beginning may very well have finally won our war. My morale is low as I'm helpless to fight her, and soon I find myself on the brink. Anything could happen this time, and I'm fully prepared. My nursing skills are rusty, but when I need them most, I discover they aren't entirely lost. Surgically removing demonic stones isn't my idea of a good time, but I have to do whatever I can to ensure that evil does not win. To top it off I still have to rescue my mate, and I can't do that alone. Thank goodness I have the help of my best friend, my dragon, and a dwarf.

2022

The Six Twisted Sisters are facing their hardest challenge yet... hosting the holidays for their entire family at the plantation. To make their mother's holiday dreams finally come true, the sisters invite the entire extended family to spend the winter holidays at Willowberry Plantation. But being surrounded by their brothers, the children, and everyone else they love makes it more difficult than ever to see the growing target painted on their backs. And all too soon they're up to their magical eyeballs in chaos. Just because the children are grown doesn't mean they no longer love playing pranks on one another. The seemingly harmless acts make it difficult to determine innocuous events from dangerous ones. And when strange supernatural beings start popping up, the sisters must formulate a new plan to stop Mad Marie and her evil loa before someone pays the ultimate price. Can the sextet stop whatever wicked plan is afoot before it ruins their festivities?

Underworld Frights & Sleepless Nights (Mystical Midlife in Maine, #9)

2022

In the face of the most powerful creature I've ever encountered, everything that matters is on the line. Including my life... When I discover the Dark witch that holds my mate hostage, I must work through my anger to save Aidoneus before it's too late. That's easier said than done since I'm compelled to seek the help of his father, Hades. Let's face it, the God of the Underworld doesn't think I'm good enough for his son. Before I can face off with Hades, Stella and I are forced to venture beyond the Underworld to a place where no one escapes - not even the most powerful of the gods. Taking on the dangers of Tartarus tests my magical abilities and leaves us hanging on by a thread. Unfortunately for us, the return trip is not for the weak or the weary. Our fragile human bodies may not survive, and for the first time since I became a witch it's clear that I'm burning the candle at both ends.

Pixie Dust & Brain Rust (Mystical Midlife in Maine, #10)

2023

At this point in my life, I don't need help forgetting things. I just wish I could remember how I wound up being accused of murder... Someone's been stealing pixie dust from the forest on my property, but I don't have time to figure out who they are or what they're up to. Instead, I've got to track down the missing ashes of a witch who could manipulate the mind. All leads point us to a mundie business where Stella and I find a coven of shady ladies practicing some very dark magic. We weren't looking for a fight, but as usual, we found one. Thank goodness Stella always has my back, and we make it out mostly unscathed. The next thing I know, Todd's asking questions about dead mundies while his wife and I are arrested for murder. Locked up with memory loss and zero answers is demoralizing and not at all how Stella and I thought this investigation would end. Our loved ones want to help us put the missing pieces together, but we're quickly growing desperate. Is it worth breaking out before we have a breakthrough?

2023

Well, well, well, isn't my life just a magical joyride? Here I am, a middle-aged witch, minding my own supernatural business when bam! Fate throws not one but two curveballs my way. I'd love to slow down long enough to adjust to the news that I'm carrying Aidon's twins, but that's not an option. A case I can't refuse is dropped into my lap, and I'll do whatever it takes to help a pair of frantic shifter parents find their missing daughter. After all, if a pack of shifters can't track one of their own, something sinister must be afoot. Armed with our magical prowess, my bestie Stella and I quickly run into the roadblock that frustrated the shifters. The clues are confusing, but every road of this merry chase leads us to a certain Dark witch. You know, the one I thought my dear old father-in-law Hades had under control. With the child's life on the line, I have no choice but to force a very confrontational family reunion. But getting to the bottom of this mystery doesn't end there, and with every step I take it seems a new trap awaits me. The clock is ticking, hope is fading, and the path forward has never been more dangerous. But helping the shifters is the right thing to do, and I don't know how to quit. Will it be triumph or failure waiting for me at the end of this wild wolf chase?

Surprised by a Supernatural Start (Dame of the Midnight Relics, #1)

2023

In a world where the threads of reality fray and unravel like a well-worn tapestry, my life is abruptly woven into a tangled mess of fate. The cost of my transformation is greater than I could have imagined. A cataclysmic upheaval shakes the foundation of my entire family, threatening to tear us apart. The toll nearly claims my beloved husband's life, pushing the boundaries of our endurance to their very limits. Unfortunately, I cannot escape this ethereal web of fate. Thrust into a role I never asked for, I have no choice but to evolve until I become a guardian of relics. I will carry the weight of ancient powers and hidden truths like a sentinel in a world teetering on the precipice of chaos, or I will perish while trying. To protect those I hold dear, I accept a task as treacherous as dancing with a witch's curse, as daunting as taming a raging storm. Desperately racing against time to construct a sanctuary for the mystical artifacts that hold the key to both salvation and destruction is as much to safeguard my loved ones as it is to protect the antiquities themselves. With the most precious lives hanging in the balance, I simply cannot afford to fail. As I journey through realms both arcane and familiar, I grapple with the burden of my destiny. The mundane and the mystical clash deep within me, testing my resolve and unraveling everything I thought to be real about my ordinary life. Armed with endless love, determination, and a touch of sarcasm, I press onward, seeking answers to my questions and untangling the secrets knitted within the ancient remains I'm now compelled to protect. My name is Nylah, and this is the story of how the goddess Artemis saw fit to turn my life upside down by shaping my magical being into a Relic Keeper.

Enchanted Tattoos & Lost Fools (Mystical Midlife in Maine, #13)

2024

You might think my midlife adventures couldn't get any wilder. But you would be wrong... Buckle up. You're in for a ride! One minute, Stella and I are getting matching BFF tattoos, and the next, I wake up alone on a secluded beach. Not exactly the relaxing getaway I had in mind. As it turns out, I'm on Obsidian Isle, a mystical rock in the middle of nowhere. Magic here? It's a hot mess, like my hormones or my first attempt at a soufflé. But as they say, when life gives you broken magic, you... trek through a jungle to find your best friend! I was expecting to find Stella in a mess of bugs and thorny vines. Instead, I discover a group of people who've been lost on this island for decades. If only that's where the oddities ended. And reuniting with Stella isn't all fruity drinks and beautiful sunsets. Before we know it, we're facing off with demons and negotiating with trolls just to find food, all the while dodging the Tainted witch, Lyra. Grab your broomstick—or at the very least, a sturdy walking stick—and join us on this magical rollercoaster. Can we escape this enchanting mess and get back to reality? Well, probably. But where's the fun in that?

Poltergeists & Change of Life (Mystical Midlife in Maine, #16)

2025

Is there ever a typical day in my life? Not with dark magic, ghostly invasions, and impending motherhood on the agenda... Hi, I'm Phoebe, and my weekend plans just got hijacked by a rogue poltergeist and a supernatural flower-picking expedition. Here's the deal: Persephone has a plan that might just save me and my triplets, but it involves my spouse braving the Underworld to snag a Shadow Orchid—because apparently our garden variety geraniums just won't cut it. While my hubby plays hero, I'm stuck dealing with a spectral nightmare named Hattie who has decided my home is the perfect new haunt. And let me be clear that she is not the friendly ghost type. To top it off, my belly is growing faster than my fear of supernatural entities (and that's saying something), and my family's idea of emotional support involves throwing magic spells and herbal teas at every problem. Just when we think we've got it all under control, Hattie turns my house into Poltergeist Central. Now, with Aidon and my in-laws locked out, it's up to me and my motley crew of magical misfits to fend off dark forces, save my skin, and brew up a storm. Literally, not just metaphorically. Grab your popcorn and your protective talismans (or both) and settle in for a tale of magic, mayhem, and maternity. This chapter in my life is proving to be an extra-bumpy ride!
