Tales of a Midlife Witch

Am I just angry or having a true midlife crisis? Life is easier when you're younger. My new bestie that I never wanted is in crisis. Rasmus left weeks ago and hasn't returned, so I'm in crisis. I put a demon compulsion on my ex to make him forget he was evil, so my daughter is in crisis. All Conn seems capable of doing is laughing at me and my pain. We'll see who gets the last laugh, though. Mulan thinks dating him violates everything in her life and negates the reason she was given her powers. Not that I would laugh at Conn's pain-I wouldn't. Okay, I would, but I'd feel bad about it. Maybe. Men in general aren't high up on my "things that make me happy" list at the moment.

How did I get stuck with a man who couldn't handle my magick? I wanted the same things out of life that all warrior witches wanted: a loving husband, a sweet child, and enough magickal work to keep me happily busy doing some good in the world. How my life turned into the current hot mess I'm dealing with is still a mystery. What I got instead was a husband who betrayed me, a child who still believes I'm a criminal, and a bogus prison sentence I'm stuck serving to save my ungrateful child's life. But there's a reason my mother named me after the Aran Cliffs in Ireland. I may be short of stature, but I'm not short on my determination to survive the mess I made of my life. If I didn't, I'd be letting down my ancestor, The Dagda of the Tuatha de Danann, and my familiar, Connlander of the Fir Bolg. Outside of my father, Goddess rest his soul, they're the only two males in my life who haven't stuck a knife in my back. I'm making plans for my midlife makeover and no one will stop me. 40 Ways to Make Me Sigh is a funny, adventurous paranormal women's fiction tale from USA Today Bestselling Author Donna McDonald.
