Jake Hammett was selected. He didn’t volunteer. He just got the job handed to him, like it or not.

Time to get busy and do it.

A distant Star Empire ruled by ancient Amazon warriors, forgotten by Earth for 3,000 years. In the other direction, an implacable alien enemy, bent to destroy every human on Earth. A final warning from an AI starship, who just happens to like humans – and makes damn good vodka screwdrivers! All dumped into the laps of three unlikely lovers. Now they must build a space navy from scratch – forge an alliance with an ancient matriarchy who shoots first and asks questions later – and prepare to fight a cruel and unmerciful enemy!

Good luck with that!

With demons ravaging London and humanity in danger, it’s up to sassy and reluctant heroine Scarlett Ravenwood to protect the world from falling into the clutches of evil.

London bartender, Scarlett Ravenwood, has never fit in.
She’s a nobody with zero future, and the world thrives on reminding her.
But when she’s attacked by a demon, and becomes entangled with the mysterious man who saves her, Scarlett learns she’s not quite human. She’s a Natural — a demon hunting mage with powers unlike anything in the supernatural world — and her destiny is not her own.
Thrust into a hidden world on the brink of an apocalypse, Scarlett must leave behind everything she’s ever known to protect humanity…or risk losing her soul forever.

Dark Descent is the first novel in The Arondight Codex, a new Urban Fantasy series full of action, adventure, and romance, woven with the threads of lost Arthurian legend. Oh, and demons. Lots of 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 …
