The Magical Midlife Book Club

(2026)
(The first book in the Grimwood Falls Magical Midlife series)
A novel by

 
 
A divorced librarian. A magical bookshop where every book is a portal. A Scottish stone gargoyle on the roof who comes alive at sunset.

When forty-six-year-old librarian Diane Winters signs her divorce papers, she expects wine with friends. Not inheriting a magical bookshop where each book is a portal to another world.

But that's exactly what she gets.

Between the Lines isn't just a bookshop. It's a gateway between dimensions, and Diane's the new Keeper. Too bad the job comes with powers that surge with every hot flash, a mysterious enemy stealing books from all realities, a friend squad discovering their own magical abilities, an ex-husband whose new girlfriend is secretly a two-hundred-year-old witch, and a cat who judges everyone equally.

When books start disappearing and portals malfunction, Diane must master her chaotic magic before two worlds collide. Good thing she has help: Thorne, the protective gargoyle who's been alone for six hundred years. Jasper, the awkwardly charming wizard who can't figure out smartphones. And Dante, the dangerously handsome demon seeking redemption one sonnet at a time.
