Former monster hunter turned magical librarianAfter retiring from my career as an assassin for the Holy Order of the Shields of Mercy, I was very determined to remain a quiet librarian whose greatest excitement comes at the corner sushi piano bar translating dead languages after a solid day's work and keeping my best friend from getting drunk and falling off the piano. Six years ago, I was broken when I defeated the monsters who were trying to open a portal to the infernal realm and bring hell back to earth, because that worked so well two hundred years ago when humanity was almost wiped out and all the angelic and demonic creatures came here to stay. I'm done. I've paid my dues and earned my pension check.For years I've enjoyed peace and quiet, assured that my talent for attracting the worst kind of evil is over, until I run-literally-into him. He's Michael Stead, the vampire scholar who works in the undercity directly beneath my own precious Library of Magical Antiquities in his laboratory filled with monsters. I know how dangerous he is by how attractive I find him, so he is absolutely off limits, particularly when he starts asking questions about the fire I started six years ago in the Square of Immolation in Singsong's undercity caverns, a magical eternal fire that neither the heavenly forces or the diabolical ones could put out, fire that can consume absolutely everything on either side of the line, good and bad.Nothing could draw me back into that world until my boss is killed by someone using the same demonic mark used to kill my father so many years ago, a murderer who tortured my boss just to find out more about my special fire. Now it's personal and not just because I have to work with the scholar vampire to find the murderer and bring down the big baddie before he reopens the portal and ends my peaceful retirement and the world.Good thing I have a few allies to help me: Anna a healer with memory loss issues, Mirabel the hopelessly optimistic new music master, and Pansy, the fire-breathing(and farting) bulldog who will probably get me killed me before the end of the world.But hey. Sushi.Vampires Don't Suck is the first book in the Singsong City series. It is a standalone paranormal romantic comedy featuring elves, werewolves, witches, vampires, and angel assassins. It is packed with puns, battles, and a sweet, slow burn romance between an oblivious librarian assassin and the brilliant deadly vampire who rules the undercity with an iron grip. Also sushi.

Witch Vs. Mage. Let the Battle of the hexes begin. Penny Lane has eight months to find a suitable husband among the monstrous mages at Rosewood Academy or her mother will lose her house and possibly her life.

Winner Loses All When Penny surrenders to Drake, he decides to be a nice mage and make all her dreams come true. Trouble is, someone else is meddling with the tentative balance between the two would-be lovers. The deception sorcerer twists the tangled web tighter and tighter until everyone is caught in their own lies. Because that isn't enough, the TMD (Technical Magical Department) want the hurters and the witch who made them. With broken contracts, broken heads, and broken hearts, can anything as delicate as love survive?

Some Monsters Bite. Some Steal Souls. I do both. True love conquers all. That's the message my brother left me after he was murdered. Yeah, not really feeling it after I stole my fated-mate, Lewis's soul and left him for dead. The only reason he's not dead, is that another monster has a plan for me, my tainted blood, and me and Lewis's tangled souls. Good thing the magical mafia house my mother ran away from wants to find my brother's killer, and get its claws into me and Lewis if it can. Now I'm a mafia princess prophesied to save the world? Hard to feel it when I just want to kill things and protect my soulmate from my own bloodthirsty impulses. Welcome to the House of Slide, where magic meets mafia, and the end of the world is as close as loving the wrong guy.

House of Slide: Hybrid is the second book in the moody and evocative House of Slide series. Darianna Sanders spent the last ten years of her life separated from her soul, which had been stolen by her brother who died before revealing why. Dari gave up the strong, lethal Hotblood soul she had been carrying in order to be reunited with her own Cool/Wild hybrid soul. As demons continue to encroach the material realm, and Dari's grandfather, head of the House of Slide, makes his move to co-opt Dari and her new soul for his own mysterious purposes, Dari must put aside her fears that she might lose control of the opposing forces that battle inside her in order to accept Lewis as her soulmate.
