This isn’t a
typical Yuletide tale.
Murder, mystical artifacts, an invisible demon with anger management issues, and an overbearing cupid—not what Rosalie Thatcher put on her Christmas list.
The holidays had always been a magical time for Rosalie, but not this year. Her new manager at Penrose’s Department Store is determined to make this season the most profitable in the store’s history. Introducing arbitrary rules was bad enough, but forcing Rosalie into the stupid elf hat was the worst. The worst, that is, until she meets a real E.L.F. (Elemental Life Form) named David and gets lassoed into a desperate hunt for the stolen Naughty and Nice List. Now Rosalie and David must dodge a murderous invisible demon and recover the missing artifact before hellhounds track them down. The couple race against time for without the influence of the Naughty and Nice List the world will tumble into eternal chaos.

The Rules for Lying is FREE on Amazon (September 18, 19, 20, 21, & 22)
WARNING: No good comes from a book with magic, mayhem, theft, murder, sass talk, demons, animals committing felonies, gleeful revenge, and bad things happening to good people for no particular reason. This story won’t encourage good habits and probably fine tune bad ones. The only lesson learned is don’t lie until you know the rules.
Life in New Jersey is tough in the Great Depression, but teenager Peter Whistler has an exceptional ability to lie. He hones his talent, convinced it’s the ticket to easy fortune. He certainly doesn’t foresee the arrival of a murderous conjuror with mysterious designs on a little blind girl named Esther. Drawn into a nefarious plot to unleash a demon, Peter leads Esther and an enchanted terrier on a desperate escape to New Orleans and meets Amelie Marchand. Like all well-bred Louisiana gals she’s trained in deadly martial arts, but with a murderous stepmother, Amelie has troubles of her own. Peter and Amelie’s one chance for survival is to head deep into the bayou and seek help from a mad shaman known as the Frog King.
Welcome to an
alternate 1930s where both jazz and magic fill New Orleans’ air. Can a little
luck, mystical lies, and a dash of Cajun crazy help Peter harness the power to
kill an immortal demon? If not, the Depression will be a picnic by comparison
when Hell arrives on Earth.

A real space pirate fights like a girl.
Teenager Jane Benedict is wakened by her father and ordered to memorize a mysterious code.

To escape the company’s clutches and uncover the meaning of her father’s last message, Jane leads her brother on a desperate flight from Earth to the galactic rim.
Aboard the Freetrader smuggler ship, Solar Vortex, Jane and Will become tangled in the crew’s fight for liberty, and drawn to their cause, swear allegiance to the crew. During a contraband run, Jane saves the life of young smuggler Mac Sawyer and learns her father’s code identifies a UEC cargo shipment. On route to a deep space station, the Solar Vortex answers a desperate SOS from a Freetrader ship under attack. Jane, Mac, and Will survive an ambush on the damaged vessel and unearth a deadly threat to the Freetraders and a clue to the location of the shipment. The trail leads to Rimrock and the massive prison complex of Golgotha. Undercover as a spy, Jane stumbles into a conspiracy that can spell doom for the entire Freetrader cause and the extinction of an alien race. Can she escape the prison confines and deliver a warning before it’s too late?
Piracy, intrigue,
romance, space battles, and a daring rebellion from Earth wait on the galactic
rim. Will Jane answer the call to adventure or is death for high treason her
fate?

Enchanted clothing has a mind of its own.
Restlessness plagued Charlotte Becker. Unable to settle
down, she moved from place to place searching for an elusive something. A
sudden invitation from her sister sends her across country to Sentinel Landing,
North Carolina. Anchors abound by the sea, but surely nothing would keep her
rooted in place in a pokey resort town during the off-season.
Drawn into a consignment shop named One Enchanted Evening,
Charlotte is confronted by a mysterious article of clothing requesting her help
to stop a killer in a wolf mask. To protect the citizens of Sentinel Landing,
she must find the hunter before an innocent is slain.
Luke Maddox’s hunting days are over. Wounded in action, he
left the Marines to return to Sentinel Landing and start a new life. Then he
meets a singular young woman wearing an unusual cloak. She tells an incredible
story of a wolf that walks on two legs.
And the hunt begins…
