Mercury Rising: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Magical Midlife in Retrograde)
Midlife—when the magic really begins…
Happy Birthday and hello Mid-life crisis. Hi, I'm Mercury Rodgers and at forty-five I thought life was over. Dead-end job, empty nest...it was just me and the cat starting over. Again.
But when I lost my house and moved in with my pickleball playing, ballroom dancing, super social senior citizen mom—that was the icing on my midlife birthday cake. Then, out of nowhere, my luck changed.
Or so I thought...
I won an all expenses paid trip to the Phoenix Inn. Now the bodies are piling up and I’m a suspect in a murder investigation. But the real surprise is: I’m not just a broke, divorced, empty-nester—I’m a witch.
And the magic is just beginning...
Join Mercury and her cat Mr. Yow, as she discovers her hidden past, murder, and the world of magic waiting for her at the Phoenix Inn.
