Book excerpt: Featuring a slow burn shifter romance and intelligent snark, this clever mix of urban fantasy and mystery will take you on a wild ride. Middle-aged. Divorced. Hormonally imbalanced. Then she got magic. Underestimate her. That’ll be fun. It’s official. Miriam Feldman is killing it in the midlife crisis department. She’s mastered boredom, aced invisibility, and graduated Summa Cum Laude in smiling and playing nice in her post-divorce life. Then her best friend gets tangled up with some vamps and goes missing. If that’s not scary enough, Miri snaps, and in a cold dark rage, unleashes a rare and powerful shadow magic. Miri's only got a mouthy golem and a grumpy-yet-sexy French wolf shifter to help her navigate this world of hidden magic and supernatural power plays, but she’s a librarian, she’s over forty, and she’s definitely done with being sidelined in her own life. She’s turning her invisibility into strength; they’ll never see her coming. Fans of Jana DeLeon, Robyn Peterman, and KF Breene, will adore Miri, a smart older heroine with zero effs left to give! ~ “The man’s body isn’t even cold and you’re robbing him?” Wolf Dude said. “I’m looking for identification,” I said through ground teeth. There was a cracked phone but no wallet. “You ruined my chance to get information about—” “I saved you.” The shifter shrugged into his discarded beaten-up brown leather jacket, his shoulders bunching. “I don’t know what interrogation skills you think you have, but I can assure you that dybbuk wouldn’t have given up anything.” “Dybbuk?” He swore in French. “You went after him without knowing what you were dealing with?” “Alex had attacked me once already,” I said, “and if he did something to my friend—” “Then she’s gone. Sorry for your loss.” I threw my hands up. “That’s all you have to say?” “No.” He raked a shrewd glance over me. “Should we ever have the misfortune to meet again, get out of my way.” “Or what? You’ll huff and you’ll puff and you’ll blow my house down?” He bared his lips, briefly shifting his canines to wolf form. My, what big teeth you have. A strangled laugh burbled out of me. My epistemological crisis involved a hell of a Freudian undertone. “I’ll do whatever the hell is necessary,” he said. “Is that your action hero catchphrase or something? Because it’s a little on the nose.” “My reputation doesn’t precede me? Shocking.” His voice was laced with bitterness. “Wow. Someone is full of themselves. I’ve got no idea who you are.” He peered at me suspiciously. “Are you new in town?” “No.” He shrugged. “Then you know who I am.” “Hate to disappoint you, but you’re just some rando who crashed my party and ruined my plan—” “To get answers from someone who wouldn’t tell you anything you actually wanted to know. Brilliant strategy. You’ve the mind of a tactician. Even if you did get something out of him, did you think he’d let you walk away after?” His accent thickened when he got annoyed. “For your information, I’m doing an admirable job. Before yesterday, the only monsters I had to worry about were of the human variety.” “There’s no way you didn’t know about dybbuks. You’re too—” He snapped his mouth shut. “Oh, no,” I said. “Finish that sentence.” He crossed his arms, rustling the leather. “Old,” he said levelly. My magic shadow bopped Wolfman in the nose with a swift jab. Ha! He pinched his nostrils together to staunch the bleeding, his emerald eyes glinting dangerously. My amusement drained away. “Should we ever have the misfortune to meet again, get out of my way.” “Vraiment? Why?” “I’m a woman in my forties who’s remembered how powerful she can be. Don’t mess with me, Huff ’n’ Puff.” ~ Includes the titles: Throwing Shade (Magic After Midlife, #1) Made in the Shade (Magic After Midlife, #2) A Shade Too Far (Magic After Midlife, #3) Let’s get you reading!
