A ROCK MUSIC ROMANCE INFUSED WITH MYSTERY, MAGIC AND THE UNEXPLAINABLE

A semi-autobiographical novel inspired by true events.

Janine, a wannabe 1980s rock singer with a taste for leather mini-skirts and thigh-high boots, fronts Mistress, a local band making waves on the Lichfield music scene. But whenever they perform, strange and unexplainable events electrify the stage. Who controls the mysterious smoke machine? Who is the illuminated running man? And what about the floating audience and otherworldly lights that make their Manchester stadium gig both unforgettable and banned?

When Janine meets Dion, the magnetic frontman of Son of Gabriel, their connection is instant and their combined stage energy amplifies the supernatural phenomena. As passion, ambition, and paranormal forces collide, their careers rocket toward stardom. But Dion's darker side begins to surface, and Janine must decide if she's willing to follow him wherever his plans lead... even if it means losing herself in the process.

Inspired by true events, Mistress Magic captures the gritty, glamorous world of the 1980s UK rock scene blending romance, mystery, and the unexplained. Featuring original song lyrics, backstage drama, and a twist of magic, this semi-autobiographical novel blurs the line between reality and fiction.

Perfect for fans of rock music sagas, paranormal romance, and stories where the magic is as real as the love.
