“The story has a Nancy Drew style to it… fun and upbeat with a mystery that’s intriguing, engaging, and is perfectly fitted to the witty duo of Luffy and Jasmine… funny, charming, lighthearted”—5 Stars, Readers’ Favorite

BOOK ONE

A body in Blackwood Cove is never just a body.

Jasmine Moore sees trouble before it arrives, in sudden flashes of the future she’d rather not have. She can also understand every word her golden retriever, Luffy, says. (Mostly opinions about bacon.)

So when a local is found dead and the police call it an accident, Jasmine can’t let it go. She saw it coming, and what she saw was no accident.

With Luffy’s nose leading the way, she digs into the grudges and buried history the town would rather forget. Soon, she learns half her neighbors have something to hide, and one of them has started watching her. Jasmine has to find the killer before Blackwood Cove claims another victim.

This is the first three books in the Twisted Luck series, an Urban Fantasy you didn’t know you needed. A found family, non-romantic series with a smattering of magical beasties.

My Luck
Coffee and my BFF are all the magic I need.

Things have gone wonky around me most of my life. I find an odd amount of dead or dying people, and if something freakish happens, I’m usually in the middle or nearby. My luck dumps me into the weirdest situations. Which means finding a body on the way to work isn’t exciting, just frustrating because I can’t afford to lose my job. College, when you aren’t a mage, is expensive. Nothing is going to stop me. I will have a good life, I will be a great EMT, and I will keep looking for why my twin died. Life is a series of steps; this is step one. But with my luck, anything and everything might happen.

Infinite cosmic power. Itty-bitty living space.

To the universe, he is a Class Omega entity of undefined chaos, capable of rewriting reality and staring down elder gods. To Detective Emily Chen, he is Mr. Whiskers: a stray black cat who appeared at a crime scene, eats too much Fancy Feast, and refuses to stay off the furniture.

It is 1982 in Chicago, and the cracks in the world are starting to show. A cult obsessed with an ancient serpent is stealing artifacts, bodies are vanishing from the morgue, and a comet is hurtling toward Earth with an appetite for destruction.

Trapped in a feline body, stripped of his powers, and forced to rely on a skepticism-prone detective and a teenage bellhop with a baseball bat, the universe’s most chaotic entity has until Christmas Day to save the world.

He just has to finish his nap first.

Perfect for fans of Good Omens, The Dresden Files, and Terry Pratchett. If you like your eldritch horrors with a side of snark and a lot of heart, welcome to the holidays in Chicago.

You have two options. You die, or you Qualify.

The year is 2047. An extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and the descendants of ancient Atlantis have returned from the stars in their silver ships to offer humanity help.

But there’s a catch.

They can only take a tiny percent of the Earth’s population back to the colony planet Atlantis. And in order to be chosen, you must be a teen, you must be bright, talented, and athletic, and you must Qualify.

Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is determined not only to Qualify but to rescue her entire family.

Because there’s a loophole.

If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you are in the Top Ten, then all your wildest wishes are granted… Such as curing your mother’s cancer.

There is only one problem.

Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While she’s a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest she’s come to sports is a backyard pool and a skateboard.

This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition—including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she’s been crushing on, and who doesn’t seem to know she exists.

Because every other teen on Earth has the same idea.

You Qualify or you die.
