The Chic Crone
It’s never too late to reinvent yourself

Popular self-help author Olivia Furie has spent her entire adulthood living a serene and carefully curated life. But after being recently widowed, left homeless, and destitute, she’s in dire need of an extreme life makeover. She never expected it to be supernatural …

Olivia and her beloved cat Magnus head to Cornwall hopeful that once there, life will return to normal.

As if.

Once in Rowanswood, they meet a colourful cast of characters, including demanding elemental Crones, mythical creatures, and talking animals. But who is the gorgeous man who keeps popping up everywhere she turns? And what does he want?
Olivia is looking at normal in the rear-view mirror when she learns of the terrible danger posed by the High Fae. With guidance from the elemental Crones, Olivia must master her magic before she leaves a trail of ashes in her wake.

Can the woman who wouldn’t stand up to her husband step up to protect the mortal realm from the High Fae? And what about this third realm that’s trying to muscle in?

There isn’t a self-help book in the world that could have prepared her for this!

The Chic Crone is the first book in The Rowanswood Crones paranormal women’s fiction series. It’s perfect for readers who like strong female characters, enchanted villages, a slow-burn romance and journeys of self-discovery.
