magical midlife detectives

book 1 chapter 2 / first draft

Now Nora is eager to start a new chapter in her life. But as many 40 + ladies know, it isn't always so easy...

The narrator is an AI voice as I cannot afford to hire a professional narrator. So the emotions and the tone of the audio may not match 100%. Still, as some people may have difficulties in reading, I figured the audio is ok.

I'll add a comment-form below. Feel free to comment. If you'd like to see the story go to a certain direction, let me know. Now I have planned this story beforehand but as I have noticed with my earlier books, those plans often change when the story takes over...

If you'd like to share the chapter to social media, you can do it by sharing the address of this page or use the share-link on top of the flipbook screen.

You can also view the flipbook here in full screen - choose the option at the bottom of the first page.

I chose the flipbook format for the specific reason it is not so easy to steal. Lots of thieves out there... (And btw - if you find my books in some "read for free" -website, be aware that if they have it, they have stolen it. I have given no one permission to distribute my books for free. Or as is most often the case - they don't have it, want your email address, send you a link and through it you download a virus to your computer instead.)

Do you want to receive a notification
when I post a new chapter?

If you want me to send you an email every time I post a first draft chapter, write your email address to the box below. I will not give it to anyone, I will not spam you. You will receive a notification of a new chapter (and maybe some occasional note on what I am up to with my writing at the moment).
