Midlife Paranormal Romantic Comedy
Taffi James
Where midlife magic means hot flashes, hellfire, and happily ever afters
The Menopause Grimoire series proves that hot flashes and hellfire have more in common than you'd think. Taffi James writes paranormal romantic comedy for heroines who've lived long enough to know what they want—and aren't afraid to tell the demon in their kitchen to stop leaving dishes in the sink. Her protagonist discovers that midlife brings more than mood swings: it awakens magical powers, attracts supernatural suitors, and involves way too many HR violations. These aren't stories about young love's first blush. They're about second acts, found confidence, and the delicious freedom of finally not caring what anyone thinks—especially when 'anyone' includes a possessive alpha werewolf.

The Menopause Grimoire
Hot Flashes and Hellfire: The Menopause Grimoire Book One
Her hot flashes summoned a demon. He's surprisingly helpful with the dishes. Maggie Torres thought fifty was going to be the worst year of her life—divorce finalized, kids grown, career plateaued, and now her body has apparently declared war on her sanity. But when a particularly intense hot flash accidentally opens a portal to Hell, she discovers that midlife isn't an ending. It's an awakening. The demon who tumbles into her kitchen isn't what she expected. Bael is ancient, terrifying, and absolutely bewildered by her complete lack of fear. Instead of screaming, she hands him an apron and tells him if he's staying, he's helping with dinner. As Maggie's latent powers awaken and supernatural suitors start appearing at her door, she realizes that menopause isn't just hormonal—it's magical. And she's about to become the most powerful witch her small town has ever seen.
Alpha Protocol (And Other HR Violations): The Menopause Grimoire Book Two
He's her new boss. He's also a werewolf alpha. HR is going to have questions. Maggie's magical awakening has attracted attention—the kind that comes with a corner office and a supernaturally possessive CEO. When the local pack alpha acquires her company, she expects corporate restructuring. She doesn't expect him to declare her his mate in the middle of a board meeting. Now Maggie's juggling her demon roommate's territorial jealousy, her new boss's complete disregard for professional boundaries, and the discovery that 'hostile workplace' takes on new meaning when your coworkers include a vampire in accounting and a pixie in HR. The supernatural world has rules about claiming. Maggie has rules about respecting her boundaries. Someone's protocols are about to be violated—and it's not going to be hers.
Fangs vs. Flannel: The Menopause Grimoire Book Three
Two supernatural suitors. Zero patience for drama. Unlimited coffee required. Maggie's love life has officially become a paranormal sitcom. Her demon companion bakes stress pastries and refuses to discuss his feelings. Her werewolf boss sends increasingly unsubtle 'business proposals' that have nothing to do with quarterly reports. And now a centuries-old vampire has decided she's exactly what his eternal existence has been missing. She's not choosing. She's too old for love triangles and too tired for supernatural posturing. But when an ancient threat emerges that requires all three of her admirers to work together, Maggie discovers that why-choose isn't about being greedy—it's about finally having enough magic to handle whatever chaos the universe throws at her. Including three very different men who've agreed on exactly one thing: she's worth sharing.
Nobody Sees My Boyfriend (And Yes, I've Checked): The Menopause Grimoire Book Four
Dating is hard. Dating someone invisible to everyone else is harder. Maggie thought the supernatural chaos in her life had finally settled into something manageable. Her demon makes breakfast. Her werewolf handles security. Her vampire manages her increasingly complicated schedule. Then she meets Ethan—handsome, kind, refreshingly normal—and realizes no one else can see him. Not her coven. Not her supernatural partners. Not the barista who keeps making only three lattes. Either Maggie has finally cracked from all the paranormal pressure, or she's accidentally started dating something that exists between realities. When Ethan's nature begins attracting attention from entities that feed on things that shouldn't exist, Maggie must figure out what he really is before something worse does. Book Four in The Menopause Grimoire series asks: what do you do when your new boyfriend might be a glitch in the universe?
