All That Glitters is Magic: Paranormal Women's Fiction (Supernatural Midlife Mystique): 10 (Shrouded Nation) Paperback – 8 September 2023

Brenda is a USA Today bestselling author who's basically a fantasy and paranormal junkie (the literary kind, obviously). She's cranked out over one hundred books—yes, you read that right—and shows no signs of slowing down because sleep is overrated. Her series catalog reads like a magical phone book and includes the bestselling Midlife Witchery, Mystical Midlife in Maine, Twisted Sisters' Midlife Maelstrom, Forty, Fired, & Fighting Demons, Shrouded Nation, Dame of the Midnight Relics, the Dark Warrior Alliance, the Hollow Rock Shifters, and Bramble's Edge Academy. (Deep breath.) Brenda specializes in creating worlds packed with dangerously handsome heroes who probably need therapy and feisty heroines who definitely don't take their nonsense. Armed with an ungodly amount of caffeine, popcorn, and candy—because that's clearly the secret to literary genius—she wrangles dragons, fairies, witches, vampires, and whatever other magical mayhem strikes her fancy, then brings them to life on the page. She lives on an island in the Outer Banks with her husband and three kids, who collectively fuel both her heart and her caffeine addiction. When she's not writing (which is rare), you'll find her reading, traveling, or elbow-deep in DIY projects with her husband and five sisters. Because having three kids, writing a hundred books, and living on an island isn't enough chaos. Brenda's life motto? Dream Big. If your dreams don't terrify and electrify you, they aren't big enough! (She's clearly practicing what she preaches with that book count.)
