Novels

 | I haven't published as many novels as I would like, but here's what I have to show thus far... |
There was a time when I was confident I would be a bestselling novelist by the time I turned 40. That number came and went, making it clear those early dreams were either unrealistic or too easily sidetracked by real life. But I finally got my rear in gear more recently, and this is a list of what you can buy today. I hope the list will continue to grow at an alarming rate.
Death and the Succubus (Chronicles of an Amateur Reaper #4)
As she recovers from personal tragedy, can an amateur reaper track down a devious succubus who regards Salem's most powerful men as her prey?
Working as an amateur reaper for Azrael, an angel of death, Molly Coyle faces dangerous adversaries all the time. Now she's picking up the pieces following a personal loss she never saw coming, and her employer seems to have decided she can use some rest.
Liam, her friend on the Salem police force, has other ideas. He brings her onto a case that he insists has all the earmarks of a supernatural presence. Molly is dubious at first, but the deeper she dives, the more valid her friend's concerns appear. Somewhere in the city's back alleys, a malevolent force is hatching a scheme that has already produced a trail of victims.
Determined to find the culprit behind the mayhem, Molly launches a new investigation that drags her through Salem's seedy underbelly and brings her face to face with a powerful creature straight out of her nightmares. Liam is eager to help with the investigation, but will his aid be enough to prevent the amateur reaper from suffering further loss?

Death and the Shifter (Chronicles of an Amateur Reaper #1)
Can a reaper in training find the answers she requires to avoid becoming a corpse for good this time?
Molly Coyle worked hard to secure an independent existence as a private investigator in Salem, Oregon.

Now accompanied by a spectral talking cat named Fuzzy who just won't leave her alone, the youthful reaper clings to the fading remnants of her once normal life, even as she reluctantly begins to embrace her magic birthright.
The more Molly learns about the worlds around her, the more she begins to suspect she doesn't know nearly enough to pass final judgment and the closer her once orderly life veers to pure peril...

Defiant Light (Novel)
The world of Karemia has been shrouded in darkness for more than a hundred years, the victim of a spell cast by a desperate wizard. In the years that followed, the monarchy granted new social status to wizards, and gave them vital roles in society.
Now, however, wizards in general are viewed as dangerous members of society, and are kept in sheltered portions of the city, used for the very magical ability many city residents fear. Light wizards are the most commonly exploited group of wizards. The light they possess is sucked from their bodies and turned into decorative lamps.
Soon, no light wizards will remain. The cities will have nothing with which to combat the night stalkers, horrible creatures lurking just beyond the safety and light of city walls.
Enter Nigel. He's a young light wizard, nearing the age when he will lose his magic forever. Except this is one light wizard that intends to defy the odds. Spurred on by the words of his grandfather, he sets out on a quest to change the world in which he lives.
Nigel won't be alone. Along the way he meets with a daring princess and a street child with a heart the size of a city. Together, they venture out into the darkness beyond city walls. There, they find new adventures that challenge the way they view the world. And, as they soon discover, the truest light comes from the inside.
