Paranormal women's fiction · heroines past forty

Extraordinary things happen to ordinary people. Usually on a Tuesday.

A small town on the Florida coast where the magic arrives disguised as good luck — a knack for finding what other people miss, a room that feels wrong in a way nobody can name, a run of coincidences too neat to mention.

Whisperwillow Springs, Florida

Four books, four women, one town

A thrift store, a café, a bookstore, and fifty years of county records nobody has ever read closely. They aren’t four separate stories — they’re one town and one buried summer, and a circle of friends that widens by one each time.

She'll call it luck. You'll know better.

About

I write about people who think their most interesting chapters are behind them

They are usually wrong, and they are usually the last to find out. My heroines are in their forties, fifties and sixties. They have histories, complications, and grown children who don't call enough.

What happens to them is extraordinary — but it arrives quietly, disguised as coincidence, and it takes them a while to stop explaining it away.
