About Phoebe Matthews

Urban fantasy is Phoebe Matthews's favorite reading. She likes a mixture of current events and fantasy.

Her Mudflat Magic series combines sword and sorcery with a neighborhood in Seattle where old magic runs amuck through the families. The first book, Tyrant Trouble, won the EPPIE for Best Fantasy of the year. Book seven, Jimmyed Coffin, was published October 21, 2014.

Vampire Career, first novel of the Turning Vampire series, is set in vampire country (the Olympic Peninsula) and features suspense plus a bizarre romance. The fourth novel was released in January, 2015. About the boyfriend, a fan wrote, "Cute guy. He reminds me of my DH." Now Phoebe wants to meet that DH.

Demonspell is the first novel of the Sunspinner series and is set in a neighborhood 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.

Last fall I found a kindly vampire to turn me. It was that or die of an incurable heart defect at eighteen. Personally, I think death at eighteen is premature and unacceptable.
