A quintessential soccer mom. A motorcycle-riding wild-child. With two sisters like that, she could have done without provoking the dark fae…

Alys Stevens is running out of familiar road. Approaching midlife, the same age as her mother’s death, and muddling through a messy divorce, the forty-something home renovator has lost the control she so deeply craves. So when her siblings show up demanding a girl’s night full of fun, the three brew up an ancient family cocktail… and accidentally free powerful magic.

Baffled as they all develop uncanny powers, Alys watches on in part-horror, part-glee as a satisfying sinkhole swallows her vexing ex-husband’s car. And poking around in her family’s mysterious tree for answers arouses the unwanted attention of sexy but dangerous werewolves.

Can the new witch refurbish her run-down destiny, or will fate tear her to shreds?

Witch Way After Forty is the charming first book in the Silver Sisters midlife paranormal women’s fiction series. If you like enchanting characters, reverse age-gap romance, and magical surprises, then you’ll love Jennifer L. Hart’s heartwarming adventure.

‘It’s like Jack Reacher got trapped inside an episode of Scooby-Doo!’

Curiosity. It’s going to get more than just the cat killed.

Sacramento has its share of spooky, crazy, and unexplained, just like everywhere else, but most other places don’t have a self-appointed paranormal investigator to really stir things up.

There are good reasons to fear the night. August Watson is about to kick them in the pants.

With an oversized sidekick, a school-skipping apprentice, and too many bad habits to count, August aims to drag the truth into the light. Kicking and screaming if necessary.

Fast-paced, darkly funny, and a full-on adrenaline fest, this complete series of urban fantasy books will take you on a journey like no other.

Released from the magic pokey and paroled with limited power is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it’s enough to make a gal fly off the edge.

Not to mention a mission…with no freaking directions.

So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before All Hallows Eve when I’ll get turned into a mortal. The animals in the area are convinced I’m the Shifter Whisperer (whatever the hell that is) and the hotter-than- asphalt-in-August werewolf thinks I’m his mate. Now apparently I’m slated to save a bunch of hairy freaks of nature?

If they think I’m the right witch for the job, they’ve swallowed some bad brew.

My magical cat brought me a dead bird. Then it came back to life, and now we’re facing a full-blown necromantic uprising.

Merlin the Magical Fluff isn’t just a talking cat. He’s a trouble magnet. I used to be a regular barista with a thesis to finish, but now I’m his reluctant familiar, dodging undead squirrels, battling dark magic, and trying not to get zombified.

Turns out a familiar foe has returned to raise an army of the undead, threatening the entire world of magic. And if magic dies, so do all who wield it, including one very opinionated cat.

This third installment in the Merlin’s Magical Mysteries series delivers more funny paranormal chaos, magical showdowns, and the kind of witch-familiar bond that won’t quit. Even if the world ends.

If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries with snarky sidekicks, zombie pets, and cozy magical chaos, you won’t want to miss this spell-slinging adventure.

Start reading now and help save the world, one sarcastic cat at a time.

A princess with a secret. An ancient evil rising. A kingdom caught in the balance.

Alyen, crown princess of Dúramair, has trained her whole life to be queen. She’s kept her faerie Sight a secret, trusting that the Keeper of Scales will find an apprentice soon—for surely one other candidate can be found. But when news comes from the north of dark magic returning to Dúramair, Alyen is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. A decision that could determine the fate of her kingdom.

As darkness takes hold, Alyen finds herself thrown into a quest for a legendary weapon that will be Dúramair’s last hope for victory in a looming war. Accompanied by a warrior apprentice, an assassin with a dark past, and a monk of questionable sanity, Alyen struggles to master her growing powers, knowing that if she fails, she risks destroying everything and everyone she loves.

Keeper of Scales is book one of the completed Trianid trilogy, an epic fantasy series featuring medieval settings, adventurous quests, slow-burn romance, elemental magic, and a strong female lead.

A mating of convenience even a lone wolf can’t refuse.

I’m Wren, a shifter without a pack in a world where unclaimed females are considered property. Luckily, friendly ghosts keep me one step ahead of greedy alphas while also helping me free other women before they’re sold to the highest bidder.

Then a battle-scarred alpha who can banish ghosts with a single touch rips into my carefully controlled world. Locke offers me a deal: become his mate in name only, and he’ll fight by my side to free lone females.

I try to refuse. I should refuse. But when one of my ghosts becomes trapped in Locke’s territory and the next mate market looms, I realize I can’t win this battle alone.

I need the help of someone living—even if it means binding myself to an alpha like the one who turned my friends into ghosts.

Mate Market is the first book in the slow-burn romantic urban fantasy Ghost Pack series, set in the unforgiving arctic wilderness where forced proximity, found family, and fierce werewolves collide.
