When Karen Paladino, a mild-mannered accountant, started her work week with a simple carpool, who would have know her life would have taken an unexpected turn toward the absurd and the sometimes just plain weird. Thrust blindly into a world of magic she can’t believe or comprehend, Karen is rocketed on a whirlwind journey that will test her sanity her patience and, most importantly, her ability to handle bad puns and pop culture references by a less than amusing mage and his sidekick dragon. In the center of this magical world sits a magical death maze with a locked door that no one can open, and no one knows what treasures it hides. When the evil white hand of Salazar learns of John Harden’s new friend and what she could do, she will stop at nothing to capture her and the door. This story has something for everyone: magic, gods, dragons, vampires, Arthurian legends, and the odd occasional centaur sex joke. Littered with action, sarcasm, bad jokes, and a few heartwarming moments, throw in a tiny dash of romance, and you have a story made for late-night T.V. or at least a straight to home video release.

"Not your mother's magic fantasy!," quoted my mother, and she should know. She’s my mother! "Fascinatingly odd," quoted my fifth-grade math teacher Mrs. Rabinowitz. Come one, come all to a magical adventure fit for a '70s garage sale: Mages Maze.
