Forty is Fabulous

A Paranormal Women's Fiction adventure for those who believe that finding your true self late in life is a blessing, not a curse-even if it turns out you may actually be cursed. After finding my soon-to-be ex-husband together with my soon-to-be ex-assistant, I realize his "for better or for worse" didn't include my forties. An extended vacation on a remote Italian island sounds like the perfect antidote to a midlife crisis-until I arrive. I'm expecting Chianti and pasta. What I get is a run-down bed and breakfast with the oldest Nonna in existence. There's something about this island. Something odd. Like how everyone keeps calling me Mamma or how I'm the first tourist in decades. And that's before I wake up to a talking chipmunk holding a glass of wine. He says I have something ancient in me, and for once, it's not my creaking joints. When I finally discover the island's deepest secrets, I know my forties are about to be fabulous, if only I can survive long enough to enjoy them.

It took Ava forty years to discover her identity. It took the Council ten minutes to decide she was a threat. I've survived my forties long enough to discover I'm cursed. Figuring out how to break the curse is a whole other problem. My arrival in Aradia set off a series of unexplainable events-the veil breaking down, ghosts arriving by the shipload, and Aurick becoming... beautiful? Now, the dying god has finally started dying, and everyone fears his re-birth. Fortunately, I have my new found powers and my Siren Squad to help me. Only, I have no idea how to actually use my powers, and the Council arrested me on sight. At least I don't have time to think about my ex or to wallow in my misery. In fact, getting divorced at the age of forty doesn't seem so hard anymore. There's nothing like an angry archon hell-bent on global destruction to give me a little perspective.

To prevent the next great war between the gods and supernaturals, I had one job. Keep my sons far, far away from Aradia. Then why are they sitting next to me, enjoying their own Italian getaway? Back home, they're Josh and Jacob, two average college freshmen with a propensity for pranks. In my world, they are the She-Wolf's twins, feared and fated to rise-or fell-great empires. Nonna swears it's fine. They're safest by my side here on Aradia. That's why she invited them to celebrate their eighteenth birthday with their mother. But it doesn't feel fine. Suddenly, my stalker god has found his voice, whispering in the shadows and speaking in dreams. Fortunately, I've finally begun to master my powers, and for the first time, I feel strong enough to protect my sons-from the Council, from evil mages, and even from the gods themselves. I only hope I'm not mistaken.

The final book in the Forty Is Fabulous series is here! Drink the wine, eat the bread, and finish the adventure. Mistakes? I've made many. My ex can attest to that, but none bigger than accidentally giving life to the dying god. Now, he's coming, full of vengeance and wrath, determined to destroy me and everything I hold dear. But it's how you end, not how you begin, that matters. I'm determined to fix my mistakes. The only problem? Who can I trust if I can't even trust myself? Turns out, even my body is a lie, and sometimes, it's hard to remember whose side I'm on. All I know for sure is that time is ticking, and while I may be immortal, this world I love is not.
