The Crèche Keeper’s Guild

Babysitting's not a club . . . It's a battlefield.

When Anah and Hailee discover that their most recent bounty disappeared along with the rogue of the party, it's time for the gloves to come off.

A tracking spell leads them straight into Farrow, a city known as a hub for adventurers...and right to the door of the Temple of Dinna, Goddess of Growth and Change. Their prey is hiding within the walls of the temple, but Anah and Hailee will need an excuse to conduct their search. An opportunity pops up, but not the kind of chance they are used to.

Instead of spells and swords, they have to commit to arts and crafts. Hired on as teachers in the temple crèche, Anah and Hailee are forced to face their hardest, meanest, scariest challenge yet --

CHILDREN.

They entered searching for revenge, but Dinna has a way of bringing new paths to the table. While searching for their former partner, they might just find acceptance, compassion, and some fickle sweet treats along the way.

A cozy fantasy novel for fans of Legends and Lattes, Can't Spell Treason without Tea, and Kindergarten Cop.

Brush With Death

Sadie Salt Book 1

Introducing Sadie Salt, Paranormal... Dentist?

All Sadie Salt ever wanted was to make smiles whiter... and to track down the creature that murdered her parents. She spends her days as a dental assistant to the humans in her small town of Grimloch and her nights doctoring to its, well, not-so-human residents.

Unfortunately, the nightlife doesn't know how to stay in the shadows where it belongs. Sadie's working tirelessly to pay off a nasty debt to a fairy she doesn't want to cross, coping with a magic she can't use, and dreaming of a relationship with the local Sheriff-- not that that's going to happen.

But when a corpse turns up in her apartment, Sadie's dragged deeper into a world where wielding a scraper and a water pick does more harm than good. Her past is coming back it haunt her in a bad way, and she's suddenly closer to her parent's killer than expected. With a vampire keeping tabs on her and a best friend whose predictions rarely hit the mark, Sadie's discovering revenge is more muddled than she expected.

Will she be able to clean up the mess before someone tries to scrub her out permanently?

Bad Impression

Sadie Salt Book 2

Paying off the tooth fairy was supposed to make Sadie's life easier. Uh huh.

There's Ingrid, her psychic roommate pregnant with a magic baby. There's also Abe, the former sheriff and dude of Sadie's dreams, now a scarred werewolf with mood swings that come with claws and teeth. And while navigating those two, Sadie's also got Benji... bisexual, enigmatic, and dangerously appealing.

But Sadie's about to realize her relationship woes pale in comparison to the big bad that's in town. Everyone's on the lookout for hunters, and the tension has Sadie jonesing for a teeth fix. She's managed to stay sober of the bone magic, but when cats turn up dead and vampire queens are calling in favors, the appeal of using magic becomes too hard to resist. With too much to lose, Sadie's going to have to decide whether her power can help save her friends and Grimloch, or if using it will make her bite it in a big way.

Deep Roots

Sadie Salt Book 3

Magic Bat... Broken.
Teeth? Out.
A serious case of vengeance? Oh, Sadie's got that in spades.

The Bone Coven has crossed Sadie one too many times. As in, once was too many, and now they've gone and taken her best friend, Ingrid. If they thought Sadie was going to disappear, then they are sorely mistaken. With her oddball team of an ex-hunter, alpha werewolf, and seriously deadly vampire friends, she's out to clean house.

It's going to take all of their collective talents, some luck, and maybe some help from the Bone Mother to save Ingrid. But Sadie's okay with that. When there's an infection at the root, you just gotta get mean and cut it out.
