Robert

**This is Robert's story before he became the Robert you know in the Forty Proof Series.**

In 1876, we were called to Savannah, Georgia to help with an infestation of demons. If we'd known what we, my wife Evangeline, and I, were walking into, we'd have run the other way.

As it was, we shared tea with a vampire and stepped into a battle we did not understand until it was too late.

On the night we arrived, Evangeline went missing, taken from our room.

Now, in a strange city, filled with demons, and monsters, I must find her before those monsters make her one of their own.

The only question that remains is one for you, dear reader.

Are you brave enough to come with me on this journey, my friend? It is not for the weak of heart, but for those who believe that love is always strong enough...and that a kind soul or two can make all the difference in your life as you face the darkness.

**You can read this novella WITHOUT having read any of the other books in the Forty Proof Series. Robert's story continues in Midlife Bounty Hunter**

Another Underworld

What does a forty-year-old former child star do when she finds out she’s an immortal Demon Goddess and that she’s pissed off the wrong entity?

A sitcom starring Demons and munchkins, of course.

Is reality weirder than fiction?

Yes. Yes it is.

I just lived through a dream state mash-up of The Wizard of OzAlice in Wonderland and Survivor. You’d think I’d catch a break. You would be incorrect.

After successfully evicting my mortal enemy—now frenemy—who was squatting in my head, and making friends with fanged munchkins who bare uncanny resemblances to Hollywood A-listers, I now have a new enemy—a really powerful and vengeful enemy.

Fine. Being an actress my entire life has blessed me with thick skin, an excellent bull-crap meter and the gift of being somewhat adept at improv. With my skills as an actress, my new Demon Club Card and the love of my immortal life by my side, I’m prepared to show my enemy whose the boss… and it’s not Tony Danza.

Stay tuned for the final episode. It’s going to be out of this underworld.

Blaze of Our Lives

An unemployed actress turned Demon Goddess ends up with another Goddess treating her brain like a vacation rental. Sounds like a log line from a crappy B-Movie, right? Well, unfortunately, this horror flick is reality TV at its most dramatic.

Welcome to B*tch Goddess Cecily’s World.

Lights. Camera. Action!

The show must go on…even if it takes a U-turn into Hell. I have too much to lose if Pandora wins. With the love of my demonic life by my side, along with the profane, toothpick-loving Keeper of Fate, and a cast of inappropriate characters, I’m going to embrace this starring role. I have to. If I can’t solve the problem of unboxing the box, my life as I know it will be over. No TV show, no close-up, and, definitely, no Emmy.

So, I’m onto my next gig. I have no clue how the episode will end. If I go down, I go down fighting. Forget the blaze of glory. This finale will be the blaze of my life.

Someone Save My Midlife Tonight

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again…

Whoever said life begins at forty must have been heavily medicated, drunk, or delusional.

Three funerals without the deceased present? Crisis.

One wedding run by drag queens with questionable taste in music? Semi-crisis, but doable.

Dead showing up on my porch who have already crossed over? Colossal sh*tshow.

This is what forty looks like for me. But now I have an even bigger problem. The Higher Power wants my daughter. It’s not happening. Period.

With the love of my Immortal life by my side, along with the profane Keeper of Fate, a gaggle of mostly-intact ghosts, and a few former enemies I’m going to end the madness once and for all. Hopefully, I don’t die trying.

Midlife’s a journey. Enjoy the ride. The crisis is definitely included.

However, anything, and I mean, anything, is possible as long as I believe.

Oh, and wine helps too.

Having the Time of My Midlife

Midlife is madness and the crisis is expensive… to my sanity.

Just when I think everything is calming down, it ramps back up to eleven. On what should be one of the happiest and most romantic days of my life, the unthinkable happens.

The ghosts I’d so kindly guided into the Light showed up on my front porch, including my dead husband.

Something or someone is messing with the balance and if it’s not remedied, the Darkness will destroy the world.

I really don’t have time for that crap.

With the love of my Immortal life and my batsh*t crazy friends by my side, I’ll take on the Higher Power and show It a thing or two; like what true faith means. No one is going to play life and death games with me. If they do… they’ll lose.

Wish me luck, because this time next week, I plan to be having the time of my midlife.

A Leaner Meaner Midlife

I want to live my life in peace for a little while as opposed to pieces. I don’t know who I have to bribe to catch a break, but I’m willing to pay the big bucks.

Apparently, no one got the memo. Midlife is one messy ride.

Fine. I’m off to Lexington, Kentucky to find a self-proclaimed dragon who sports a mullet, beer belly and delusions of Immortal grandeur. This time he’s gone too far. He’s messed with me and mine for the last time.

The way to end a dragon is to remove his tail. We thought we had. A tail is in the back. Right?

Wrong.

So, so wrong.

With the love of my Immortal life by my side along with a few smack-talking, geriatric Nephilim and a foul-mouthed, toothpick loving Keeper of Fate, I’m ready.

And when it’s done, I’m taking a freaking vacation. I’ve earned it.

It’s time to slay the dragon for good.

This time there will be no mercy.

Midlife Vampire Hunter

The final installment in the Forty Proof Series is HERE. The story is broken into two POV's, Crash and Bree, as they fight their way to one another.

Crash:

I had her in my arms, only to lose her moments later. Frantic doesn't even begin to describe my state of mind as I search for Bree.

That search takes me deep into my past and to a family home that I swore I would never return to.

To find Bree, I must face a queen I defied and a monster that wants my soul. All while being heckled by a demon-infested blade.

Goddess help me succeed.

Breena:

Being abducted by a woman who is supposed to be dead, and weirdly looks a heck of a lot like me, is disturbing. Being told my death is needed to complete a wicked spell and that I'll be turned into a vampire? Even more disturbing.

I can't reach Crash or my friends. I have no idea where I am. My only ally? Alan. My ex-husband. Yup, you read that right,

The path to the end of my story is shadowed in fog, danger, and mystery, but I begin to see through it as the players and truth emerge. And that sight shows me that the sliver of hope is worth hanging onto, that my friends are with me even when I cannot see them, and that a future free of those who mean us harm is possible.

Even if it costs me more than I ever planned on paying.
