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.

Humanity’s thousand-year-old empire is collapsing under a mad empress, plunging the galaxy into civil war. As rebel admirals shatter the Imperial Fleet, frontier worlds are left exposed to marauders who hold life cheap and plunder without mercy. Captain Jonas Morane of the cruiser Vanquish foresaw this chaos and formed a desperate plan: lead the shattered remnants of the 197th Imperial Battle Group to a hidden sanctuary and preserve humanity’s knowledge before it’s lost to the long night of barbarism. Along the way, he rescues a Marine Pathfinder battalion and a mystical religious order, binding them to his cause. But even if they survive the flames of rebellion and the depredations of invaders, can Morane’s sanctuary—and hope for civilization—endure?

Imperial Twilight and Imperial Night continue the saga, as new empires rise, old horrors return, and humanity teeters on the brink of a darkness that may never lift.
