A Forty Something Fury by Paige Andrews & Bryon Cahill
A reluctant warrior witch. A missing best friend. And absolutely zero time for the fae’s magical nonsense.
Buckle up, urban fantasy fans: magic is about to get a midlife makeover. In their spell-slinging, laugh-out-loud debut novel, A Forty-Something Fury, co-authors Paige Andrews and Bryon Cahill deliver the ultimate fantasy for readers who’ve had enough of chosen-one teens and are ready for a fierce, forty-something heroine who doesn’t care about your ancient prophecy—unless it comes with coffee.
Angie Daly is a woman on the edge. Her bookstore’s barely staying afloat, her adult kids won’t move out, and her husband’s newfound love for sea shanties might be the last straw. So when a gang of magical misfits—including two snarky elves, a put-upon fairy, and a “miniature giant” with anger issues—invade her kitchen demanding she help stop an evil warlock, Angie does what any exhausted woman would: she says no.
Until her best friend disappears. And leaves behind a warning that suggests this magical nonsense might be deadly serious.
Now, Angie’s trading in her yoga pants for portal-hopping boots, facing off with ancient enemies, and discovering that she may just be the warrior witch the world’s been waiting for—even if she’d rather be binge-watching true crime and sipping boxed wine.
A Forty-Something Fury is the first book in a brand-new urban fantasy series that blends sharp humor, relatable chaos, and page-turning adventure. Perfect for fans of Shannon Mayer, Darynda Jones, and women who are too old for prophecy but too stubborn to sit this one out.
The novel is available October 29, 2024, in ebook and paperback.
About The Authors
Paige Andrews is a forty something single mom navigating the wild urban jungle of Detroit with her two kids and loyal sidekick, Shep—an adorable black mutt with a penchant for mischief. Once upon a bedtime, Paige spun whimsical tales to lull her little ones to sleep. As they grew, so did her stories, morphing from preschool fantasy into urban escapades.
One day, her oldest said, “Mom, you should publish these.” So Paige set out to conquer the literary world. She’s determined to be more successful as an author than she was in her ill-fated attempt at martial arts—a journey that ended with a wayward kick and an embarrassing encounter with a cardboard cutout of Bruce Lee. Join Paige as she juggles motherhood, magic, and the occasional dragon!
Bryon Cahill – An author for all ages, Bryon is a stay-at-home dad by day who dreams up stories by proverbial candlelight in the wee weird hours of morning. His phantasmagorical stories tend to steer off-course, alighting on the wings of the fantastical to land in the land of impossibility. The words he writes are his ultimate joy as well as his voodoo curse. All the better.
When not writing, Bryon summers, springs, winters, and falls on delightful beaches and boardwalks at the Jersey shore. There, he thrives with his loving family, painstakingly penning for their ultimate delight. He constantly strives to live up to his playful craft’s unwavering motto: Fiction is stranger than truth.
