Midlife is sheer madness, and the facts of midlife are not taught in school. Unfortunately, some lessons are hellishly hard to learn. I thought I had it figured out. I was wrong. Proving I'm the Angel of Mercy is turning into a sh*tshow of epic proportions. Not too long ago, I was a forty-year-old gal with a stable and boring life ahead of me. Now? Not so much. I have celestial siblings who are no walk in the park. Their decisions can destroy my future. And...

Midlife's a bumpy journey. The ride is a freaking rollercoaster. The crisis is real. With my life back to normal-normal being a very relative word-one would think I'd catch a break. One would be very wrong. With an Angel gunning for me and a Demon in my bed, life couldn't be more complicated. Not to mention, I'm going to have to make a rather large life choice. Do I want to live forever? Does anyone? Forever is a very long time. Whatever. I'll...

What happens in Vegas, slays in Vegas. With a show to produce and my career as an actress on the line, I really don't have time to die-especially violently. However, while that might not be on my agenda, it seems to be on other's. Awesome. Instead of acting in my latest endeavor, I'm playing the real-life role of Reluctant Demon Who Has To Save The World-or at the very least, the hot hero. Fine. I'm always up for a plot twist or a re-write....

Lately, my life has been a big, fat, hairy midlife crisis. I could really go for a boring day or three. Apparently, there's no rest for the over-forty crowd. Yes, I have fabulous friends. Yes, I have a beautiful baby. Yes, the ghosts are coming back home. Yes, I'm in love with the Grim Reaper. However, that sexy Demon has got some major 'splainin' to do... like his possible involvement in the shocking kidnapping of my worst and most deadly enemy....

I did not order the extra slice of Armageddon to go with my midlife crisis. Apparently, if you're an Immortal, it comes free of charge. I have until sundown tomorrow to get to a parallel plane of existence, save my family, and kick bad-guy butt all before the world ends. Impossible, right? Not according to my posse of whackado buddies. They like to remind me that nothing is impossible as long as I believe. Well, I'm about to be the mother of all believers. Armed...

I crashed the Immortal party and it ended with a surprise encore... a big one. I thought being a Demon sucked, but being a Demon Goddess is a whole 'nother level. Life had been so much easier when I was just a forty-year-old has-been actress trying to make a comeback in the land of Botox and BS. For the love of everything absurd, I was just getting used to being a Demon... and BAM... all of a sudden, I'm supposed to be one of the two gals in charge?...

Midlife is definitely a journey. The road has massive potholes. And the crisis... it's the gift that keeps on giving. Being forty is supposed to be freaking fabulous, not fatal. Taking on a daunting new job minus the description isn't the smartest move I've ever made, even if it was to save a friend. Hopefully, it doesn't turn out to be the stupidest... or deadliest. Why can't things stay the way they were? I love my old job. Supergluing ghosts...
