The Sorceress's Second Act
(2026)(The first book in the Barbara's Spooktacular Midlife Mysteries series)
A novel by Sara Bourgeois
A Victorian mansion. A mischievous ghost. A weekend that's about to get very weird.
Barbara Thistledown's divorce was the best thing that ever happened to her. Free from a husband who dismissed her "overactive imagination," she's finally ready to prove what she's known for twenty-three years: her house is haunted.
She's invited her college friends for a paranormal investigation weekend. Mystic Marge reads tarot cards. Crystal Ball is a genuine psychic medium. Vivianna Moonshadow runs a professional ghost-hunting operation. Together, they're going to document every cold spot, every creaky floorboard, every bump in the night.
But Barbara gets more than she bargained for.
The spirit haunting her home has been waiting over a century for someone to listen. She's mischievous. She's powerful. And she's hidden something in the house that she desperately needs found. When the ghost possesses one friend, accidentally turns another transparent, and sends Barbara's nosy neighbors tumbling into a magical dimension, the "relaxing weekend" becomes a supernatural catastrophe.
Now Barbara must navigate possessed psychics, skeptical adult children who think she's lost her mind, an ex-husband who shows up with a vacuum cleaner and surprising ghost-hunting skills, and a treasure hunt that spans hidden passages and forgotten chambers.
The ghost isn't evil. She's trapped. And Barbara might be the only one who can set her free... if she can survive the weekend first.
Welcome to Enigma, where the spirits are restless and the neighbors are always watching.
