Join Nora Black, the fifty-one-year-young owner of Scents & Scentsability, as she navigates life in the charming resort town of Garden Cove. Since her near-death experience during a hysterectomy, Nora’s developed a peculiar psychic gift triggered by scents, thrusting her into a world of mystery and intrigue.

In Sense and Scent Ability, Nora becomes embroiled in a murder investigation to clear her best friend Gilly’s name. Using her newfound abilities, Nora races against time to catch a killer before Gilly is wrongly convicted.

Then, in For Whom The Smell Tolls Nora tackles another case, investigating the suspicious death of a friend’s cousin. With allergies hindering her senses and her ex-chief of police breathing down her neck, Nora must rely on her intuition and loyal friends to sniff out the truth.

Finally, in War of the Noses, Nora faces off against her former nemesis at a spa convention turned deadly when murder becomes the main event. With the help of her friends and her hot detective beau, Nora dives nose-first into solving the mystery, determined to uncover the truth before another life is lost.

Filled with humor, friendship, romance, and plenty of intrigue, this aromatic trio of mysteries proves there’s no scent (or villain) too elusive for Nora Black to sniff out.

I only wanted to control my magic, but a single potion catapulted my life into chaos…

I’m Nyssa Thornheart, a witch with broken magic. I escaped to the big city to pursue my passion for alchemy, and hide from my coven until I fix my powers.

If my unstable gifts are exposed, they will be stripped away. To live without magic, that’s a fate worse than death. So I drank a long-forgotten potion in a desperate bid to harness my volatile powers.

But when I’m cornered by thugs, I unleash a rare and dangerous magic, tearing the veil between our world and a demonic realm. My new powers are growing stronger and resist every attempt to subdue them.

Now I’m a hunted witch, pursued by both demonic creatures and authorities determined to protect our realm from the threat I pose.

Can I master my magic, or will I have to sacrifice my powers before the city falls to demons?

Binge this fast-paced, fierce, laugh-out-loud funny urban fantasy series in a complete omnibus now!

Getting possessed by a demon wasn’t on my to-do list. I was just too busy for that sort of thing.

I had a fifty-hour work week, a hellraiser of a toddler, debilitating morning sickness and a husband who thought his only job was taking out the trash. I was at breaking point.

I don’t remember being possessed, or attacking Terry, or my local priest pulling the demon out of me and trapping her in a banana (with the help of a stranger, a badass girl who apparently wrangled supernatural creatures for a living.)

But the aftermath was wild. Terry promised he’d try harder, and give me more support.

He lied. And I broke.

So… I ate the banana. I absorbed the vengeance demon.

She’s a part of me now, sharing my body; we’re like two people in a car. Most of the time, I’m driving. Sometimes, I let her take the wheel.

She’s the rage of wronged women; the vengeance of the vulnerable, wild justice for the oppressed. She can hear bad thoughts, she can sense evil intentions. She can tell when someone wants to abuse their power, and she whispers their secrets to me.

She also eats the internal organs of evil people… which is a little awkward, since I’m a vegetarian.

Binge all four books in this bestselling series:

  • Oops I Ate A Vengeance Demon
  • Dancing With A Vengeance Demon
  • Dating with My Vengeance Demon
  • Dying For My Vengeance Demon


Foils and Fury series is a fun, fast-paced urban fantasy and paranormal mystery series, with a diverse cast including witches, shifters, vampires, sassy skeletons and, of course, vengeance demons.

First book in a completed series of five lighthearted, fast-paced, and twisty mysteries!

Every town has its secrets, but no one has a secret like hers.

Amber Blackwood, lifelong resident of Edgehill, Oregon, has earned a reputation for being a semi-reclusive odd duck. Her store, The Quirky Whisker, is full of curiosities, from extremely potent sleepy teas and ever-burning candles to kids’ toys that seem to run endlessly without the aid of batteries. The people of Edgehill think of the Quirky Whisker as an integral part of their feline-obsessed town, but most give Amber herself a wide berth. Amber prefers it that way; it keeps her secret safe. But that secret is thrown into jeopardy when Amber’s friend Melanie is found dead, a vial of headache tonic from Amber’s store clutched in her hand.

Edgehill’s newest police chief has had it out for Amber since he arrived three years before. He can’t possibly know she’s a witch, but his suspicions about her odd store and even odder behavior have shot her to the top of his suspect list. When the Edgehill rumor mill finds out Melanie was poisoned, it’s not only the police chief who looks at Amber differently. Determined to both find justice for her friend and to clear her own name, Amber must use her unique gifts to help track down Melanie’s real killer. A quest that threatens much more than her secret …

As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentlemen Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler.

Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.
