Midlife Magic & Magnolias: Paranormal Women's Fiction

Written by Meredith Carlisle

Narrated by Maria McCann

A house with “personality.” One ridiculously tall leprechaun. Two nachtmares. And three geriatric defenders straight out of the retirement village. These are my ducks, and they are not in a row. It wasn’t until I lost everything—my home, my marriage, even my career—that I started to wonder if our “family curse” might be more than an unfortunate turn of phrase. Now turning forty-five, the age at which every woman in my family dies, I need answers not only for myself but for my two daughters. And I’ll see every specialist in the country if that’s what it takes. But when a lifelong friend discovers a link between my strange family history and an abandoned estate, I can't pass up the opportunity to learn what happened before the death certificates started piling up. What I find may mean it’s too late to change my fate, but that doesn’t mean I won’t die trying. If there’s a curse on our family, I’m coming for it with everything I’ve got. Might as well make use of these raging hormones and decades of suppressed emotions while I still can… The time for surviving is over. It’s time to start living. If sarcasm is your love language, this new humorous Paranormal Women's Fiction series is for you! Perfect for fans of Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, and Robyn Peterman.

Meredith Carlisle

Meredith Carlisle spends her days (and most of her nights) engrossed in adventures featuring kick ass female heroines doing battle with all sorts of monstrous creatures and their own self doubt. In real life she lives in a haunted house and doesn't go to the bathroom without turning on a light. Meredith lives with her family in beautiful southeast Tennessee, surrounded by history, mountains, and the awe-inspiring Tennessee River. Her work typically features a strong Southern voice, unique settings, and elements of the paranormal. Whether she's writing her own words or relishing in someone else's, she's most at home between the pages of a good story.​ Her friends call her Mere (pronounced Mare) and you can too.

Reviews for Midlife Magic & Magnolias

[Holly · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Cute storyline and I enjoy the direction the author is taking. Definitely longer than most books of this type and while there was quite a bit of filler, the author did it in a way that kept me interested and it didn't feel like it was 11 hours. Only complaint I have about this WHOLE genre is how 40+ year olds are made out to seem geriatric. We're not that old!!
