Even at this age, I still half hope/expect to find a magic lamp or save a magical creature and be given three wishes.
My first series Shared Skies and now The Ibiza Crone Club are both informed by this feeling that magic, other worlds, or mystical powers are just an invisible fingertip away.
I am an Irish writer, artist, and teacher. Married with five children and a growing number of grandchildren, I move between Ireland, Scotland, Spain, and Ibiza.

The Ibiza Crone Club by Josephine   O'Brien
"I started Second Chances, The Ibiza Crone Club, Book 2 imagining that it was not my cup of tea. It seemed like it might be a little too steeped in myth, magic, and romance for my taste. I was delighted to find I couldn't put it down. It was a fun rea" Read more of this review »

Read it as an ARC on BookSirens.
It's a good read, a fun, feel-good, fast read, but it is slow in starting up. It is a decent novel, but it did not live up to its really crazy fun cover.
What I really enjoyed :
