Book Description

Publication Date: February 17, 2010 | Series: Mudflat

Mudflat Spice and Sorcery, Urban Fantasy
Somebody is trying to get rid of Claire. Her scudzy cuz counts off her enemies, but he doesn't think any of them are killers. Okay, there is always a first time. Whether it's poisoned pizza or a rotting corpse, adding extra magic is a bad idea. Toss in an angry witch, a jealous ex-boyfriend, a bitter employer, a weird exorcist, a heartsick chum, plus a haunted house, and trouble escalates. With a friendly troll in her basement and a hunky warrior upstairs, the pacifist shouldn't be the one swinging a sword. Except...Claire lives in Mudflat. Here thieves and con men hide out among the honest magics, and a killer can blend right in until it's time to murder. And that's only the beginning of what the killer wants. ** A BookStrand Mainstream Romance

More About the Author

Urban fantasy is my favorite reading. After years of writing romances I finally switched to writing what I love to read.

Vampire Career, first novel of the Turning Vampire series, is set in vampire country, the Olympic Peninsula. Suspense plus a bizarre romance. A fan wrote, "Cute guy. He reminds me of my DH." Now I want to meet her DH.

Demonspell is the first novel of the Sunspinner series and is across town from Mudflat. The heroine would like a lovelife but that is hard to do when the family is being attacked by demons. So far no fan thinks the demons are cute.

The Mudflat series combines sword and sorcery with a neighborhood in Seattle where old magic runs amuck through the families. The first book, Tarbaby Trouble, won the 2009 EPIC Award for Best Fantasy. Two of the five other titles were finalists in 2010. Fans all say the same thing: "Love the hero!" and a reviewer for PNR insists the books should be made into movies.

Nine Horoscope-in-Catsup Stories, Steampunk Man and More, and Steampunk Widow and More are collections of short stories, many first printed in magazines and anthologies.

Beastly Week is the new Tarvik and Claire novel.

Switching away from paranormal is the Chicago 1890s series. The first novella, Rudy, Looking for Love, received stellar reviews. They kind of say it all.
