Jekyll, an Urban Fantasy

“When the devil tells you to stop struggling, do you?”From the moment Eden wakes up, she knows she’s not in Kansas anymore. She isn’t even on Mitch’s doorstep, Chastity’s favorite place to dump her off. No, she’s somewhere far worse. And far more sterile. Sometimes a girl needs to adapt, be flexible, change. And that’s exactly what Eden will do, all the way back to Mitch. No matter what she has to do to get there. Because his life depends on it.Mitch has lost something he’d never thought he’d find to begin with. And “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” is a lie. A lie people tell themselves to make the pain go away. But the pain doesn’t go away, not in someone like Mitch. It festers. It grows. Until it can’t be held back anymore, even by the bars of a cage.* Jekyll is a continuation of Mitch and Eden’s story and may prove confusing to those who haven’t read Book I. So why not go check it out? Heck, the first book is cheaper.* This novel is also intended for adults, as it includes lots of cursing, biting sarcasm, and some truly evil people.

Eville's Most Wanted

Wanted The town of Eville is in shambles. “Brilliant” inventor, Serene Necrosia, hoped to usher in a new era with her latest invention. Instead, she conjured up an army of flesh-devouring space squids, blotted out the sun and nearly brought about the end of the world. Hey, it’s all in the name of progress, right? Next time things will work much better. But for now it’s probably best if she hits the road before the authorities haul her off to prison (or loony bin), and find a good place to hide. Along for the ride are her cranky hunchback employee Moody and the “Othersider” Alex Hobbs, a regular man caught up in a world beyond his reckoning, and from which there is no escape. What Serene doesn’t count on is the involvement of the distinguished Cyclops investigator, Daniel Hammett, and his partner Raphael Vega. These tenacious, tough-as-nails officers will stop at nothing to bring Serene and her accomplices to justice. Even worse is the fact that the Cosa Nosferatu (vampire mafia), goblin mercenaries and a mysterious assassin are all making a play for Serene as well, eager to get their hands on the woman’s overwhelmingly destructive creation for their own nefarious ends. Now it’s a race against time as all parties desperately fight to capture the three fugitives- and in this race there is no prize for second place. Bullets will fly, webs of deception will be spun, several goblins might croak, old friends and new enemies will enter the picture and the world shall never be the same again in… Eville’s Most Wanted**
