Leigh Raventhorne - 2020
Yes, some might settle for a meager existence, if that's what life has handed them—but the strong ones will actively look for a change.Lucinda Green left her job in Ohio, looking for change and adventure.She found them both, in spades.Some say, "Be careful what you ask for."Others say, "You'll never know until you try. The worst that can happen is you get told, 'no'."That is just SO not true.Lucinda doesn't take no for an answer, but then again, her midlife change might just be a little different than—everyone else's.MIDLIFE CHANGES BITE starts a brand new series in the Midlife Adventures world starring forty-two year old Lucinda Green, who tends to be slightly feistier, friskier, and steamier than Roxie. (If you've been reading her ongoing series)Lucinda's story takes place in the same world, at the same time as Roxie's, and occasionally shares characters. As you can tell from the cover, there are biters involved—Vampires and vampire gods, to be exact. Shifters, witches, magick, and spirits live by the same 'rules' in both series, making them feel familiar.**Note: This is a 70% rewrite of an earlier title - Lucinda's Midlife Change - adapted to fit here at the suggestion of readers. Where Roxie fits perfectly in Paranormal Women's Fiction #PWF, Lucinda is more #PWR Paranormal Women's Romance.
