Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart’s life is getting more complicated by the minute. She left her clan so she could escape their mind games, but here she is, pulled right back into the thick of it. It seems like saving her sister from the loony bin and ruining her mother’s political machinations would be enough to deal with, but no. Her snarky little fae is hiding something dangerous, her fox is about to lose his mind, her human might not be as human as he seems, and somehow, they’ve ended up with a strange squatter in their bookstore.

Fiend hunter Sam “Sabertooth” Forest is used to being on the outskirts. Being a cur with a mix of shifter and human blood, Sam can’t fully shift to beast, but can’t fully pass as human. Through sheer determination, and a desire to protect the broken shifter woman who raised them, Sam has managed to eek out a place of their own in a world devastated by the rift that allowed monsters to spill into the earth plane. Sam hunts monsters, sometimes curs and mongrels just like Sam.

Betrayed by her family, gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart strikes out on her own. When she decides to help the local police department deal with minor supernatural offenders, she has no idea it will lead to her relationship with a snarky fae, a sweet human, a sexy fox, and a voluptuous sea creature. Only arrogant, asinine alpha male gryphons have harems. But Gesa was never content to follow rules. Somewhere between finding missing humans and solving shifter murders, this tough gryphon finds herself with her own pride.

Gesa and her pride have managed to survive the fae lands and take back their mate from his psychotic father. But Oisin is broken, unable to recall much of his previous life—including the reasons he fell in love with a big, brash gryphon or a young, unstable fox. Meanwhile, Hisashi’s display of power in the fae lands has only increased the growth of his dangerous, uncontrollable spirit powers. He needs an anchor. And that might mean tying himself to the family shrine for the rest of his long life.

Weird. Creepy. Frumpy. Boyish. At the young age of 29, reluctant necromancer Esper Jones is an outcast, labeled “the old witch on the hill” and avoided by all sane residents of the tiny village of Hellsfork Michigan. And that’s just fine with her. Dealing with people has all the appeal of poking her own eyes out. But Esper’s quiet world is upset when a strange, beautiful man named Toma blows into town and destroys the walls Esper has carefully built around herself.

Not your typical reverse harem.... Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart isn’t your typical heroine. Screwed over by her family - a stunningly medieval gryphon clan that is supposed to value loyalty and truth - the former bodyguard sets out on her own to a remote city growing in the Michigan wilderness. With little in the way of life skills outside her clan training, and no one to depend on, she becomes a bounty hunter - chasing down low-level supernatural criminals for the local human police department.

Viceroy. It’s not a term Sam would have ever thought would apply to them. But for some reason, the sovereign of Westhold seems to trust Sam with his life - and with the legacy the crazy, not-so-human firebird is building. But none of that matters if Sam can’t conquer their fear and insecurities and keep from going feral.

Come Love a Fey is a collection of standalone (listen in any order!) novels and short stories involving fairytale creatures. Enter my world and you'll meet a sexy man-eating waterhorse, a shape-shifting goblin, a mischievous merman, a commanding crow, a beautiful male fairy, and a fiery lady dragon - just to name a few. Come, love a fey...

When Gesa escaped her oppressive clan to become a bounty hunter in a growing backwater city, she never imagined she would end up dating a fae. She might try her best to deny Oisin’s jokes about her starting a pride - a harem reserved for male gryphons - but Gesa is growing dangerously fond of their roommate and secretary, the unassuming human, Con. But romantic issues are the least of Gesa’s worries. Her ancient, deadly fae lover is hiding something.

Reluctant necromancer Esper Jones had a quiet life, hidden away with her freak looks, and her freak powers, in her freaky old witch’s house. But her beautiful, ghost-whispering boyfriend Toma has destroyed her carefully crafted, people-free life. Now she’s hearing voices in her head, monsters are running amok in Hellsfork, and there’s this vampire she can’t seem to shake. Somewhere between the black witches, hungry ghouls, and cowboy vampire hunters, Esper finds herself with a growing circle of people who actually seem to care for her (for some weird reason).

The phoenix sovereign of Westhold might not want Sam for anything more than their hunter skills, but that won’t stop the saber-toothed hunter from defending their unclaimed mate — and the stupid utopian city of equality that Theo insists on building. Things heat up in the last installment of the Not Quite series…and someone might just get burned.

An unlikely love story between a fairy and a dragon. Come Love a Fey is a collection of stand-alone novels and short stories involving fairytale creatures not of the Tinkerbelle variety. The common elements tying these stories together are magic, romance, and a whole lot of fey. Enter my world and you'll meet a sexy man-eating waterhorse, a shape-shifting goblin, a mischievous merman, a commanding crow, a beautiful male fairy, and a fiery lady dragon...just to name a few. Come, love a fey!

Evvie hates farm life and longs for the day she can finally go to college in the city. But when she takes shelter in the stormy woods one evening, she meets a sexy creature who convinces her that the city might not have so much to offer after all.

When the thing that birthed her drags Gesa back to the gryphon clan using her sister’s illness as bait, Gesa and her harem find themselves breaking out of an asylum and fleeing assassins - without really knowing who the creeps are even targeting. After all, there are so many options to choose from on the list of people who want Gesa or her lovers dead. But the trouble doesn’t stop when she leaves clan lands. Oisin’s been hiding someone, and Gesa doesn’t like unexpected visitors.

Gesa does not have a pride. Only male gryphons need a whole harem of lovers to stroke their egos. But when a fortune-telling fox from the county fair and a captive mute sea-dweller turn to Gesa for help, she can’t turn them away. Sometimes, being a creature of valor and loyalty is a pain in the ass.

At 28 years old, Sam thought they were old enough to stop making terrible decisions. But taking a merc job for a human millionaire can’t be described as anything else. Neither can drinking so much fairy moonshine that you forget there are good reasons not to let yourself think with your...parts. Hunting people is a whole different world than hunting supernatural beasts, and Sam and their guild might not come out on the winning side of this one.

Gesa is dealing with a sickening overabundance of feelings. No matter how she might resist it, her gryphon side insists she claim her pride—as if she were a damned alpha lion. But she has other priorities. Like getting rid of the squatters in her bookstore home, keeping Hisashi from going insane...and what the hell is up with Oisin? Danger is looming, and the pride might not make it out intact.

What’s more fun than dragging a politician, an ogre, a leprechaun, and a hired killer across the wastelands to retrieve a human passenger? Anything. Anything would be more enjoyable than this - even hunting hungry fiends. Sam is questioning their life choices. Maybe it would just be easier to murder the idiots and leave the bodies in the wastelands. But, growl as Sam might, everyone knows the hunter will do the right thing. And helping the idealistic human sovereign move his family member and closest advisor from Golding to Westhold is the right thing to do.

Tensions in Westhold are rising with the ascension of a new leader, who has some radical ideas about what the relationship between humans, curs, and fiends should look like. Sam soon finds himself swept up in the upheaval that comes with changing the status quo.
