It’s Jane Austen meets Lara Croft in a 12-book cozy paranormal mystery romp through Victorian Africa.

Armed with exquisite etiquette, a fully loaded walking stick, and a dead husband, Miss Beatrice Knight arrives in the small colonial town of Nairobi, Kenya, desperate for a pot of tea. But she’ll need more than that if she’s to unravel a series of increasingly deadly mysteries without being eaten in the process.

She must endure all manner of inconveniences while surviving the machinations of friends, enemies and dashing gentlemen, not to mention the efforts of her safari guide to feed her to any lion willing to drag her away. Talking chimps, African gods, shape-shifting demons, zombie elephants, firefly vampires, steampunk automatons, and a possessed horse… What is a ghost-chasing widow to do?

This delightful, binge-worthy collection brings together all twelve books in the Society for Paranormals cozy mystery series in which a paranormal detective refuses to let danger, death, and unsolicited suitors inconvenience her in colonial Kenya. Welcome to murder, mayhem, mythology, and the search for a perfect spot of tea.

Winner of the Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal for Magic & Wizardry ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A tarot reader with a dangerous past. Two mortal enemies. And a conspiracy that could burn it all down.

In the perfect world of the Via Sancta, magical power flows through intricate tattoos on your skin. They promote harmony and suppress base urges like greed, lust, and anger.

But sometimes the marks invert—driving you mad.

Alexei Bryce hunts these deviants for the Church, secretly hoping to find the dark mage who turned his brother. The trail leads to Kasia Novak, a cartomancer who is more than she seems. The cards say they are fated to fall in love—if they can survive long enough.

Because now that same dark mage has infiltrated the city’s wards and is hunting Kasia.

Alexei and the nightmage called Malach fought on opposite sides of the bloody civil war years before. But despite the Church’s claim of victory, the conflict is far from over. And Alexei will discover that his faith’s triumph over the darkest recesses of the human soul is more fragile than he ever imagined.

A disgraced pilot, a junkyard robot, and one runaway girl with secrets worth killing for.

Since a dishonorable discharge from the Star Corps for a rescue mission gone wrong, John MacAlister has been trying to piece together a life worth living—scraping by on less-than-legal cargo runs with a robot who never misses a chance to point out his mistakes. But no matter how close he gets, trouble always knocks him back to square one.

When his latest job crashes and burns, John winds up in a lunar cell. His only way out comes with strings attached: track down a runaway girl named Ril.

Shuffled from family to family in the colony, she’s the foster child nobody wanted—now a streetwise teenager with a secret that could topple one of the most powerful corporations in the galaxy.

To save his own skin, John should hand her over. To save his soul, he’ll have to defy everyone—especially the man who ruined him.
