from Garden of Thought · host Jeff Lippman

Deborah Wilde is a global wanderer and hopeless romantic. After twelve yearsas a screenwriter, she was also a total cynic with a broken edit button, so, shejumped ship, started writing funny, sexy urban fantasy books and never lookedback.She loves writing smart, flawed, wisecracking women who can solve a mystery,kick supernatural butt, banter with hot men, and still make time for their bestfemale friend, because those were the women she grew up around and admired.Granted, her grandmother never had a to kill a demon at her weekly friendlunches, but Deborah is pretty sure she could have.Smart (ass) heroines. Epic magic. Red-hot romance.Tovah Silver runs Mad Queens Inc., an unlicensed magicalproblem-solving agency with her three best friends. They'vebuilt their reputation on grit, loopholes, and unrepentantcompetence, ignoring those who think their perimenopausalmagic tops out at party tricks.They’re wrong but correcting them would be a felony. Everyone of the Queens has a forbidden second magic burieddeep—until an assassin golem forces Tovah to unleashhers.She thinks she got away with it. Then Nikolai Azarov showsup.Vancouver’s only golem-maker would call her story creative if he wasn’t too busy calling BS. Worse,once he figures out what she actually did to that golem, he doesn’t turn her in. He names his price.Now Tovah must honor a dangerous bargain with a man who’s already insufferable withoutleverage, outmaneuver the magic cops circling her agency, and hunt down whoever left a hand-delivered clay effigy on her bed.Middle age isn't a crisis. It's a weapon.Published by Te Da Media Inc and available worldwide in e-book, paperback, and audiobook onOctober 12, 2026.Purchase links:Deborah Wilde Books: https://www.deborahwildebooks.com/collections/mad-queens-incOther retailers: https://books2read.com/u/3GB9vL
