Fantasy
Growing up in Emerald Lakes, population six hundred and eighty-two, had been safe and comfortable. Running my own magic shop and making a living off my green witchcraft, I have no complaints.
...But something has apparently been missing, and the stars take it upon themselves to correct the problem, dropping four sexy men at my door.
Drawn in by these mages who blew into town on a work assignment, a whole different kind of magic starts to grow between us, but my powers are doing things they shouldn’t, and there’s also a pesky prophecy to unravel.
Strange, unnatural things are brewing in Emerald Lakes, and I can’t ignore the sinking suspicion that something life-changing is headed my way.
Discovering a whole new world of magic, I can only hope I don’t lose myself in the madness.
Hereditary witch Rowena Glass has had enough of humans.
After her metaphysical store is destroyed by arson, she takes the insurance money and buys a trip she’s wanted to take for a long, long time: the Bermuda Triangle Monster Resort. Beaches. Druid-created terrain. A villa all her own. Not a human in sight. It sounds like bliss.
She didn’t count on finding herself caught between a suicidal vampire named Lucius and his jealous Maker, Julia. It’s going to take some fancy dancing, as well as the help of her grimalkin familiar, Grendel, to get her out of this mess.
She wanted peace and quiet. Now all she has is trouble.
Button Hollow Witchcraft Academy had a new school of graduates: young, beautiful, powerful. They were supposed to pick their familiars at the Familiar Emporium. None of them wanted Charlie.
As it turned out, another witch had graduated, too: Matilda Greenbottom, middle-aged and pudgy, not at all welcome with her sister witches, who spurned her, too.
When these two misfits find one another, Halloween is coming. So too is a warlock with a taste for revenge.
With demonic horns pushing out of her head, she knows she made a mistake...
Amalia’s fae magic made her a sought-after healer, but hardships made her shy away from the spotlight, to live as a witch in the woods, watching her sisters find happiness in the big world.
Now someone wants to kill her for her halfling heart.
This is a literary/fantasy fairytale retelling of Sleeping Beauty...this time told by the witch. Because what if the witch had a tragic story of her own, and what if her fae magic could still fix everything...Could it?
When the ghouls come knocking, the witches come to play.
Ever wonder how the witches party on the day of the dead?
How the supernaturals play when the veil is thin?
Well here’s your chance to find out all their secrets.
From witches, to wizards, and all the wickedness.
Romance
Being a witch doesn’t mean one can beat the devil forever.
Jeffrey Overton, unemployed IT professional turned poker player, pushes his luck once too often and runs afoul of the host of an illegal card club. The man sent to escort Jeffrey to a “meeting” about his supernatural winning streak arrives at Jeffrey’s crappy North Portland apartment, lock-picking tools in hand and a charm to block Jeffrey’s magick.
Head muscle for said host, Mike Wells, is a Daisy from Daisyville. He isn’t a witch. What he lacks in magickal talent he makes up for in brawn, so he doesn’t expect the guy he’s after to overpower him. But once Mike renders Jeffrey helpless, he’d rather seduce him than bring him in.
Jeffrey and Michael ditch the “meeting” and end up hunting some of the same people they ran from, trying to get Jeffrey back into his own body.
"A mix of fairy tales and modernism with romance, adventure, and magic...a perfect fit!"
