Blog postI’ll be taking Hunter’s Mark and Bump in the Night down for a little bit, but not forever! I want to spruce up covers and formatting and make them nice and shiny and new for the upcoming releases of their follow up books, later this year. There will be no meaningful change in content so if you have already purchased or borrowed these books, nothing substantial is going to change in terms of content. I’m taking them down later today (5/8/20) in advance of the new release I have coming out (The11 months ago Read more

Data Sets (Science of Magic Book 1)
Dec 21, 2020
$2.99
Orrin
Surrounded daily by people with enhanced abilities, I’m well aware I’m nothing special. Fortunately, we all have our strengths. Mine happen to be less thrilling than superhuman abilities. Data analysis and being a great match-maker—for anyone except myself—are where I shine.
(Cue sad trombone noises.)
All of which made it all the more confusing when my routine lab tests came back showing anomalies. Me? Enhanced? There had to be a mistake. And I’m not only one who thought so. I wanted to catch the attention of my delicious, sex-on-a-stick office mate, Andrew Hicks. But not like this...
Now, tasked with partnering with Andrew to track down other undocumented Enhanced, I’m faced with two gut-wrenching decisions. Do I risk heartbreak by acting on the attraction brewing between Andrew and I? More importantly, am I doing what’s right by forcing other Enhanced out of hiding?
Data Sets is a dual-POV M/M speculative fiction story where magic is common, best friends are supportive and a little snarky, work crushes are reciprocated, and endings are happy. This is part one of a series but can be read as a standalone.

Bump in the Night (Medium at Large Book 1)
Apr 2, 2021
$4.99
Julian Weems doesn’t believe in aliens, cryptids, ESP, pineapple on his pizza, or ghosts.
Oscar Fellowes is determined to change his mind about at least two of those things.
Julian Weems is a professional skeptic. Scratch that—he’s a disgraced ex-professor who just plays one on TV. Specifically, on UnReality’s soon-to-be-hit, Bump in the Night. Alongside medium Oscar Fellowes, Julian is set to investigate (alleged!) hauntings and get to the bottom of some old mysteries.
That thumping sound upstairs? Floorboards settling.
The cabinets that won’t stay closed? Old hinges.
The disembodied voices, flying dishes, and crying maid who disappears in front of your very eyes?
Well, there’s explanations for those, too. Oscar has plenty of them. Just not anything Julian can accept.
You don’t have to believe in ghosts for them to believe in you.
Oscar Fellowes has dealt with skeptics his entire life. None of them have ever been quite like Julian Weems, though. He doesn’t have to be an empath to pick up on the mutual attraction between them and he’s willing to overlook—for now—Julian’s adamant refusal to accept what’s happening around them.
The Hendricks family who died over a century ago haven’t left their house, and they want help. The dead demand justice before they can rest in peace and their anger seems strong enough to reach between worlds.
Bump in the Night is a paranormal romance and book one in a series. It can be read as a standalone but has elements that will continue throughout the rest of the series, including a growing romance between the resident skeptic and professional medium.

Fuzzy Logic (Science of Magic Book 2)
May 24, 2021
$2.99
Birdie
I was kind of halfway in love with Royce. Royce just wasn’t aware of that, I didn’t think. Sure, we went at it like cats and dogs verbally but I was pretty sure he didn’t know I wanted to go at it like... things that go at it in a naked way. Marmots? Muskrats? Wasn’t there a song about muskrats doing it? He didn’t know I wanted to go at it like muskrats from a 70s yacht rock song.
Officially, I'm a research associate for Halloran and Reynard, a small but powerful magical research lab. Unofficially, I work for Doctors Halloran and Reynard themselves, tracking down missing and runaway magic-users trying to stay out of the grasp of folks who want to control magic-users, turning us into lab rats and squeezing us dry before throwing us into the trash heap. I wanted to keep Royce out of it, keep him safe, so I broke things off with him as soon as I realized feelings had well and truly been caught.
It wasn't my brightest move, really.
When Royce decided to tag along with me on what was supposed to be a simple recon trip to check on a known rogue magic-user, everything went straight to Hell and my attempts to protect him by breaking off our burgeoning relationship were for nothing. Now we're both running and I have no idea how I'm going to get him out of this before they catch up to me.
Data Sets is a MM speculative fiction/urban fantasy romance of approximately 52k words with a happy ending. It is part TWO of a THREE part series and can best be read after part ONE. It features the prickly one soft for the soft one, friends to lovers to friends and back to lovers again, an unwilling road trip, and a seeming mismatch being a true match.
Please see trigger warnings inside the book before reading.

The Devil You Know (Bedeviled Book 1)
May 12, 2020
$2.99
SIMON...
Once upon a time, I made a bad decision.
I'd be the first to admit when I'd made a mistake.
Okay, maybe like... the third. At least in the top ten.
But the fact I was kind of married to Ellery Hebert, highborn son of the demon-born clans, wasn't something I really considered a mistake. Mostly because no one but the two of us, and the nice folks at Sweetbriar College, knew. And it was kind of up in the air about whether Ellery really knew anymore or not. I hadn't seen him in years, not since the day after graduation when I came back to our campus apartment to find divorce papers on my pillow and his things cleared out to the walls. That was three years ago and I'd moved on with life but I have the devil's own luck...
ELLERY...
Once upon a time there was a handsome prince with, er, assets like a peach and sarcasm sharp enough to kill a man.
When Simon didn't return the divorce papers, I had hope.
Kind of.
I knew we would never be anything more than conveniently married, but the longer it went without him signing those papers, the more that little seed of hope grew into a giant tree of stupidity deep in my heart. We were never supposed to be together, not according to the demon-born and definitely not according to the faerie folk that had raised Simon. But still, I had hopes.
Maybe if I'd told Simon first that I was ass over teakettle in love with him, that would've helped.
Once upon a time, nosy relatives got involved and things went very pear-shaped.
Every magical clan, culture, and race is coming together to decide whether or not we make ourselves known to the human world once more. For centuries, we've been hiding in plain sight for the most part, living as humans when we can and disappearing into our little folds of the universe when we can't. When my marriage to Simon is discovered by my mother and used as an opening salvo in the fight to get demon-born recognized as a part of the magical community, I had no idea how horribly everything would unfold or how it would end.
The Devil You Know is approximately 54k words of MM paranormal romance with low angst, snarking, awkward reunions, a marriage of convenience, too many antiques of decided rudeness, bad faeries, good demons, a death sentence and a life sentence.

Rowan
Less than two weeks till the winter solstice and somehow it's my fault the witches have misplaced their damned bells. If they weren't such jerks about demon-borns being part of the Grand Council and their plans, maybe they wouldn't need to use the stupid things anyway. But until they're ready to admit that without us, there'd be no them, I guess they're out of luck. It's just dirty pool to send Whitaker Frost, scion of the Frost witch clan, one of the lead Council members behind the Revelation movement, and sexiest man alive ohmygods to my shop when I've been accused of hiding those damned bells and endangering the witches' annual winter solstice ritual to maintain their powers and ruin the planned Revelation to the humans in the process.
Whitaker
No matter what Rowan thinks, I haven't forgotten our encounter at the summer solstice, and I know for a fact he hasn't either. The way he looks at me when he sees me in his shop just before the winter solstice is enough to set me on fire without the help of any of his demon magic. I don't blame him for being hesitant with me—I am a witch, after all, and witches have been doing their damnedest for centuries to keep demon-born out of magical communities and gatherings and now, the planned Revelation. I wish he'd understand that I not only want him in the council, but in my bed, my life...

The Devil in the Details (Bedeviled Book 3)
Sep 8, 2020
$2.99
What happens in Vegas... gives me a migraine.
Mark:
It's the same old story.
Astrophysicist goes to a boring conference.
Astrophysicist meets an amazing guy.
Astrophysicist loses guy's contact details, gets fired while at the conference, then gets dragged to a job interview by his new best friend.
Astrophysicist finds out his hook up is a... a demon.
It's not that I don't believe in the supernatural, or magic, or... Okay, yeah, it totally is. I'm a man of science. I'm open minded enough to admit that, if you came to me with any sort of hard proof of something not of this world I'd believe it but until that happens, I am a card carrying member of the skeptic club.
We meet on Tuesdays. Newbies bring the snacks.
***
Bright Lights, Big Problems
Alastor:
Hook ups are supposed to be a one and done thing.
They're not supposed to be the most amazing man you've ever met and haunt your every thought to the point you do something stupid like ask your brother for relationship advice (trust me, if you knew my brothers, you'd know why this is a bad idea).
They're definitely not supposed to accidentally reveal the existence of magical beings to the human world.
The Revelation has been rescheduled and it might be the fault of Mark Stern, the man currently staying in my guest house.
The man who is number one of the Most Wanted list for the Fae, Witches, Demonborns and... Well, everyone who isn't human.
Instead of another year until the Revelation, where all Magicals were to reveal our existence to humans, we have less than a week. And instead of forgetting about the amazing, magical night we had in Vegas, I want to relive it with Mark constantly.
I'm just afraid we don't have the time.
The Devil in the Details has Demons, Witches, Faeries, and lust at first sight that turns into a happily ever after.
