No one in their right freaking mind ever said midlife was magical.

Or at least mine is....
Once upon a time, there was a paranormal-romance author who caught her husband in a compromising position. One divorce later, she’s free and ready to start her new life at 42.
Right?
Wrong.
Divorced idiot ex: Check
Saved idiot ex from getting murdered by his new nasty gal pal: check
Idiot ex accused me of trying to kill him: umm...check

With the darkness on the horizon, I need to clear my name and get to work. Forming a Goodness Army is on the top of the list. Shockingly, my army consists of my wacky-tabacky-smoking aunt, my high school counselor who can shift into a house cat, the town gossip who turns invisible after downing five beers, and a few fabulous others with nefarious talents. And of course, a cast of fictional characters...who I created and definitely have an opinion on how I should proceed.
What could possibly go wrong?
I’m going on pure gut instinct at this point, and I can’t wait to see how the plot turns out.
I may be wrong. I may be write. Either way, I’ll just keep turning the pages until I find my happily-ever-after.
