It’s called the change of life but this is ridiculous…

Samantha Sinclair’s midlife can be summed up in one word—trapped. Trapped by Multiple Sclerosis. Trapped by an abusive husband. Trapped until her son breaks the vicious cycle and whisks her away to a bed and breakfast on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
He sent her away. Now she’s returned to the scene of the crime.
The only problem? It puts her in the path of the only man she ever wanted. Damien rejected her years ago and Sam’s never recovered from the heartache. Combined with the quirky and nosy oddballs in the 50 and up waterfront community, the B&B isn’t the ideal place to lay low. Sam just wants to lick her wounds, not rekindle an old flame who is still too hot to handle.

Witches and shifters and secrets, oh my!
When Sam looks out the window late one night and sees people dancing naked and huge felines cavorting on the beach, she realizes she’s not the only one with something to hide. But can this ragtag band of aging supernaturals keep her safe? Or will her vengeful ex destroy what’s left of Sam’s life?

Midlife Bed and Broomstick is the charming first book in the Cougars and Cauldrons paranormal women’s fiction series. If you like gutsy survivors, true-to-life characters, and magic at midlife stories, then you’ll love Jennifer L. Hart’s journey of transformation. Buy Midlife Bed and Broomstick for a spellbook full of mischief today!

Ancient legends don’t come back to life. Until they do….

The vast, winged draykoni once ruled the skies of the Seven Realms, uncontested and unstoppable — so the stories say. But they are only tales. Aren’t they?

When Llandry Sanfaer discovers a new type of jewel, her life changes forever. Wonderful and terrible, the gem exerts a strange influence over those who behold it. Soon people are dying for it, and Llandry herself becomes a target.

This is only the beginning.

What is this starry jewel, that no one can resist? Who is the killer that stalks the night, stealing the gems from their murdered owners? And why does the gem call so powerfully to Llandry herself?

Llandry’s destiny cannot be denied. A shy young woman is about to learn that sometimes, even the most far-fetched story might prove to be the plain, simple truth.

My magical cat picked a fight with a ghost, and now I’m stuck cleaning up the mess.

☆☆☆☆☆ – “It’s way past my bedtime, but I couldn’t put this book down. I want to learn more about everything. The plot is great, the characters are engaging, the pace is fast, and the frustration is perfect.” – MWH

The Magisterium will not be challenged.
They do not want you thinking for yourself.
Otherwise, you might realise there are questions they cannot answer.


Kaila Dwyn only ever dreamed of becoming a Warden, a protector of her people. So when she discovers an intruder in her village stealing precious agimet crystals, she does what any loyal subject of the Magisterium would do—she tries to stop him. But as the pair wrestle for control of the crystal, something awakens in Kaila. Something powerful. Something forbidden. Magic.

Now Kaila finds herself hunted by the very heroes she once worshipped. Nothing is as the Magisterium taught her to believe, and pursued by a monstrosity of iron and magic, Kaila must unlock her hidden powers if she’s to survive. But there is only one man who can teach her the magic of the Elysian—Theron, the man who destroyed her life. Can Kaila set aside the past and join forces with the Elysian thief?

Dive into this gripping epic fantasy, a thrilling blend of sword and sorcery in the spirit of Mistborn and The Shannara Chronicles. Journey with Kaila Dwyn as she faces betrayal, forbidden magic, and a fight for survival that will keep you enthralled until the very last page.

Kobo, Smashwords

Ghosts, spirits, spectres, shades…they turn up in almost every culture and society, and these stories form a rich literary tradition that comes with its own set of expectations. But what if we turned some of those expectations upside down?

Follow a slightly different ghostly path in this collection with stories about spirits who help the living and ghosts who need our help; ghostly inhabitants inside computers and unusual shades in a unique community; ghosts seeking solace, ghosts who might be a scam, and a handful of literary Christmas apparitions.

The stories in these pages are more likely to be humorous than horrifying, but they also explore ideas of family, home, and how we find our way in the world, with or without spectral companions. Come along on some haunting adventures with ghostly bagpipers, spirit dogs, beloved authors, and more.

In the darkness between two dying worlds, trust is the most dangerous magic of all.

Katrina never expected to see Evren Avery again. Two years ago, she sealed the barrier between the Vales and the Miragelands, trapping herself in a realm of wraiths and ruins, paying for her sins in blood and isolation. She’s survived on wit, determination, and the memory of one stolen moment—the night she knelt before a king in his empty castle and made a devil’s bargain.

One drop of blood for another.

But when Evren appears in the underground city where she’s barely clinging to survival, Katrina realizes the deal was never finished. The worlds are unraveling. Magic is failing. And the Ruthless King has come to collect—not her death, but her help.

Together, they must journey into the heart of a dying realm, facing wraiths that hunger for magic, prophecies that threaten to destroy them both, and a connection that should have ended with that first exchange of blood.

As Katrina’s dormant power awakens into something new and frightening, she’s forced to confront the truth she’s been running from: some debts can’t be paid with punishment. Some wounds can only be healed by the one person who knows exactly how deep they go.

But trust is a luxury Katrina can’t afford. Not when betrayal lurks in every shadow. Not when saving two worlds might mean losing the one person who’s ever chosen her. Not when the price of her power could be everything—including the king who’s determined to keep her by his side.

A sweeping fantasy romance about redemption, second chances, and the dangerous magic of letting someone see the truth of your heart.
