About J.D. Brown
J.D. Brown knows that vampires exist because she dated one and no, he didn't sparkle. A magnet for subcultures and weirdness, J.D. was that socially awkward girl with more fictional friends than real ones. As a child battling a hearing loss and Muckel-Wells Syndrome, J.D. found comfort in books where strong women always saved the day and got the guy. An obsession with Charmed, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer lead J.D. to believe that her mutated genes made her something more, not something less. Thus her stubborn flare to persevere was born. A lover of fine cuisine, coffee, and shoes, J.D. never understood why shoe stores don't serve Starbucks and soufflé. She resides in Illinois where she writes urban fantasy - aka vampires for adults - and has political debates with her dogs. She loves to hear from fans and is active on Facebook.com/AuthorJDBrown

Titles By J.D. Brown
Rule #3: Never tempt a demon.
...With a promise you can’t keep.
Surrounded by her great-grandfather’s demon bodyguards, Lyn’s days of running from would-be assassin angels finally slow down.
For about .04 seconds.
When knowledge of her divine ancestry reaches a secret sect known as the Sons of Solomon, a not-so-new enemy rises from the bowels of Hell, sending Lyn, Sam, and Angie into a fight for their lives.
As Lyn’s role in what could very well be Armageddon comes to light, one certain truth becomes obvious: Good and evil are not black and white.
The rules go out the window in this third installment of the riveting Daughter of Eve series by award-winning urban fantasy author J.D. Brown.
Perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, Illona Andrews, and Izzy Shows.
One-click your copy now.
Rule #1: Never save a demon’s life.
… Oops.
Lyn Conway is a hot mess. She’s past due on her rent, can’t get clients to take her paranormal investigations business seriously, and … Oh yeah, she’s a demon hunter who broke the ultimate rule. She didn’t mean to save a demon’s life. She thought she was saving a cute guy from a horrific attack. But now?
Sam. Won’t. Die.
That is, he won’t die until she does.
Being bound to a gorgeous demon isn’t all that bad, until women who look suspiciously similar to Lyn start dropping dead with a demonic seal carved into their flesh. The tables have turned. The hunter is being hunted. Fortunately, Lyn lives with her number one suspect.
Never Save a Demon is the first book in the Daughter of Eve series. If you like young, fresh urban fantasy with a kickass heroine, lots of goofy comedy, and a complicated paranormal romance, then you’ll love this new page-turner by award-winning author J.D. Brown.
"Rich characters, fast pacing, and hilarious hits of humor make this series starter an absolute winner. I cannot recommend it highly enough!" -- Darynda Jones, New York Times Bestselling author of the Charley Davidson series.

Ema Marx is in a race against time. Or rather, a race against Apollyon. A powerful weapon - the legendary philosopher's stone - could tip the scales in favor of whoever gets their fangs on it first. For Ema, obtaining the stone is an uphill battle through love, alliance, heartbreak, and loyalty.
Winning should mean the beginning of beautiful things, but the closer Ema gets to her destiny, the more uncertain her future becomes. Is it possible the prophecy was never meant for her? And why the heck doesn't morning sickness adhere to the rules of its own name?
Butt-kicking heroines, epic heartache, and pages that turn themselves abound in Dark Becoming, the third installment of the 5x award-winning Ema Marx series by J.D. Brown.

Rule #2: Never trust a demon.
...Unless Heaven tries to kill you.
It’s been four weeks since the birthday from Hell, and Lyn’s life is finally getting back to normal. Or as normal as it can be for a P.I. with the ability to see demons.
Then Sam comes back.
It seems the wicked, sexy, demon who shares her soul isn’t done using her. Good thing she’s determined to end him. But when Heaven sends an angel to assassinate her, Lyn’s determination goes up in smoke.
Sam offers protection, but for how long and at what cost? And why the heck does The Big Man Upstairs want her dead?

Three-hundred years ago, a vampyre named Naamah caused the death of Maria’s father. Now Naamah is back, and he intends to finish off the werewolves. Maria will do anything to protect her pack, even if it means betraying her heart and marrying him. When a greater threat arises, Maria must set her bitterness aside and join forces with Naamah to save both their people. Can she trust him and still be true to herself, or will they undo each other before their enemy even reaches them?
Naamah must lead his people to safety, but championing peace in the process is difficult for a vampyre that’s better apt with a sword. He needs a princess’s touch to heal his battle-stricken clan, but what he gets instead is a warrioress. If he can’t earn Maria’s trust and tame the wolf within her, they’ll lose everything.
Set in 1100 B.C.E., The Warrioress is a prequel to The Ema Marx Series by J.D. Brown. This story chronicles the romance between Maria and Naamah during the very early trials of their immortal lives.

Leena’s ‘gift of sight’ secures her place as the next great oracle of Athena. Instead of being groomed for wifehood like other girls, Leena spends her days within the walls of the Acropolis, shuffled around by the clergy and doomed to be a virgin forever. Before her ascension, Leena decides to take matters into her own hands. With the help of her father’s book of alchemy, she casts an incantation calling forth her own personal hero. But when that hero turns out to be a rogue vampyre prince with a haunted past, Leena begins to question if her feelings for him are the work of divine intervention, or a love spell gone horribly wrong.
Athena’s Oracle is a prequel to the novels Dark Heirloom and Dark Liaison, also by J.D. Brown. Set in 4th century B.C.E., Athena’s Oracle chronicles the romance between Leena and Jalmari during the very early trials of their immortal lives.
