Hinky Chicago Series
Jewel Heiss has a secret job: fraud cop for the City of Chicago Department of Consumer Services, rescuing citizens from magical mishaps without getting into the news.
Jewel has a reputation. Her little black book is a foot thick. One day, she goes undercover to bust a con artist and accidentally releases an incubus from his “treatment bed” and her job is never the same again.
Soon the incubus is her roommate. Then the con artist becomes her partner. Before she knows it, she has a motley crew of helpers: a homeless street peddler, two mad scientists, two more con artists, an adult film star, a team of fierce roller derby grrls, and pretty nearly every guy in her little black book.
Da Mayor doesn’t care, as long as Jewel adheres to da Hinky Policy: “Don’t ask, don’t tell, cope.”
Keeping Chicago Hinky, one 311 call at a time!
Coed Demon Sluts Series
These paranormal women’s fiction novels features succubi, shoes, and shopping, massive quantities of food and controlled substances, all-girl hot tubbing, riot-grrl rage, rollicking, revenge, renewal, and rejoicing.
Six women find out what they’re made of by making themselves into something totally other.
Slacker Demons Series
Five guys live in a man-lair in a quiet Chicago neighborhood. They’re all retired gods, all hot and lazy, all working as sex demons for “the Regional Office,” and all this close to getting kicked out of Hell.
They’re great at meeting women.
They just suck at the paperwork.
Backstage Boys Series
“I wouldn’t have picked anything else. For those of us in it, it’s a noble calling. Show business doesn’t happen without us. We’re the guts, the dirty underbelly, the grease on the transmission under all the chrome and shiny headlights.”
Stagehandery in a big city is a bit like Regency London society. Everyone is related to everyone else. One’s status depends on family, on the date of one’s peerage – er, ascent to journeyman standing. Everyone is constantly meeting everyone else in one of the big houses – theatre houses, that is. The glamor, the lights, the music, the glitter…the gossip. Oh, the gossip.
And among stagehands, as in Regency society, there are patriarchs and princes, second sons and bad boys – and all the women they love.
