Homeowners & Horrors

Meet Attie Nichols, a middle-aged single accountant whose life has never been easy. Now she's ready for a change, but how much can she handle?

Midlife Undercover. Regular citizen by day, and monster hunter by night.

 Attie Nichols has always lived by the rules. Numbers make sense. People don't. Adopted, independent, and long resigned to the fact that the traditional life she once imagined was never going to happen, Attie built her own version instead—complete with a quiet house, a loyal Cairn Terrier named Mo, and a career that keeps chaos neatly balanced on a spreadsheet.

Suburban life seems ordinary, but Attie is discovering it hides secrets—not all human. Strange events, hidden dangers, and creatures lurking just beneath the surface force her to confront a world she never knew existed. Suddenly, her quiet life, her home, and even Mo aren't enough to keep her safe.

With monsters hiding behind manicured lawns and danger lurking in the most suburban of places, Attie is forced to confront a truth she's spent her life avoiding: she's stronger and more resilient than she ever believed. Monster hunters aren't born—they're made. And Attie is about to find out exactly what she's made of.

Running from the chaos seems sensible—sell the house, start over, leave the madness behind. Too bad destiny has other plans.

Homeowners & Horrors is book one in the Midlife Undercover series—urban fantasy meets paranormal women's fiction, with wit, grit, and a heroine who learns that midlife is when you stop pretending to be normal.
