Catherine has returned to the human realm, but the Otherworld has not released its hold on her.
What she learned beyond the Veil has made one thing clear: the balance between realms is failing, and knowledge long scattered or hidden will be needed to prevent its collapse. To act, Catherine must seek out others, persuade them to risk what they have built, and piece together fragments of understanding.
Back in the life she fought to reclaim, Catherine faces a different kind of danger. The relationships she has formed, and the love she has allowed herself to trust, may not survive the choices she now has to make. The cost of success may be the very life she has begun to value.
As the pressure mounts, Catherine must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice, and whether saving both realms is possible without losing herself, or those she loves, in the process.
The Finding Magic series continues in this third instalment, where loyalty, knowledge, and love are tested, and the line between duty and desire grows increasingly difficult to hold.

When the Veil Thins
Book One of the Finding Magic After Forty Series
Catherine Ashworth is a woman with a logical mind and a life in quiet disarray. Grieving a marriage that faded into silence and grappling with a sense of invisibility that midlife often brings, she returns to her ancestral home in Scotland, seeking peace, but finding something far older stirring beneath the land.
There, in the shifting light of the Ochil Hills and the shadow of ancient sacred springs, Catherine discovers that the veil between worlds is thin, and she may be the key to holding it in place. A bloodline whispered through generations, a grimoire bound in secrecy, and a realm filled with beings both beautiful and brutal await her awakening.
When the Veil Thins is a story of rediscovery, enchantment, and quiet power. It's for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, only to realise that the second half of life might just hold the greatest magic of all.

Book Two of the Finding Magic After Forty Series
The Veil has parted, but the Otherworld is not the safe haven that Catherine hoped for.
Grief shadows her steps as she crosses fully into the realm of folklore and myth. To survive, Catherine must trust her growing magic and her heart, as she faces choices that will test her belonging, her courage, and her second chance at love.
The Finding Magic series continues in this atmospheric tale of midlife transformation, folklore,and the perilous beauty of the unseen world.
Not every story earns a happy ever after.
Gemma’s story runs alongside the events of When the Veil Thins, but from a different angle. She is twenty-four, still close enough to hope, and old enough to know better. This is a quieter, darker thread of the same world: what was missed, what was misunderstood, and what it cost. Not every story ends kindly, but some still deserve their place on the page.
