Dive into the quirky universe of my imagination, where tales range from mildly amusing to eyebrow-raisingly insightful. This is the PG corner of my brain’s bookstore—neat, tidy, and suitable for most. However, for those of you craving the spicier, unfiltered chapters of my creativity, just know they exist under a shadowy alias, penned by moonlight and mischief. Consider this your genteel invitation to the party; the after-party, however, requires a different guest list. Happy exploring!

The Protector

Alana Devlin is a stage magician performing in Las Vegas. What no one knows is that she doesn’t do magic tricks, but has the ability to create true, glamorous, faerie illusions that can fool all the senses. She’s spent her entire life training to take over the position of the Protector, defending the city from other worldly threats. She’s faced demons, ghouls, and witches, but now she must face her toughest challenge, one she never prepared for — a mortal serial killer that has selected Alana herself as his next victim. Now the Protector needs some protection of her own and she finds it, and perhaps something more, in the form of Detective Leo Grady . . . who has vowed to stop the “Claddagh Killer” no matter what.

The Guardian

Sequel to The Protector

Las Vegas magician’s assistant Carrick ‘Rick’ Murphy has been raised to be the Helper of the Protector, Alana Devlin, who defends the city from Otherworldly threats. He’s thrown himself in front of countless monsters for her sake, with no concern about his own safety. But now, it isn’t his safety at risk. Something stalks the city, a bloodthirsty monster on a killing spree. And it’s after the love of Rick’s life, librarian Joan Westland. Now Rick faces a new challenge: working with a stand-in Protector who’s made it clear that she plans on seducing him, while trying to guard the woman he loves from a danger he can’t reveal to her.
