Awakening the Witch

By Christina Garner

A paranormal women's fiction novel with Gen X attitude and a heart of gold.

Welcome to Hollywood Lakes, where the water is warm, the coffee is hot, and magic begins at midlife.

Shay Atwater is a talent manager in Hollywood with a knack for making dreams come true. But somehow, she's never quite found her own. At 44, she fears she's running out of time-especially in Hollywood where women of a certain age become invisible.

She needs a reset, and settling her grandmother's estate is the perfect opportunity for a getaway to Hollywood Lakes, the idyllic town where she spent summers in childhood. But when her BFF, Avery, shows up begging to use her grandmother's inn as a movie location, what's meant to be a vacation turns into anything but.

Exploding lights and ghostly sounds ruin takes until the director threatens to shut down the shoot. Shay must find out what-or who-is wreaking havoc, and she's betting the ancient spell book in the attic will help. If only she can figure out how to open it, she might just find the calling she's been seeking and awaken the witch within.

Hollywood Lakes Magical Midlife is a coming-of-middle-age series filled with witchy adventures, ride-or-die friends, and slow-burn romance. (And wine. Lots of wine.)
