Are you a bruja who just doesn't mix well with the rest of the world? A tlahuelpuchi who doesn't want to kill children for their blood? A necromancer with your best friends--or your mariachi band--freshly risen? The village of Puesta del Sol can be your home. As long as you obey the rules, watch out for your neighbors, and don't harm the living or the dead, you can try to lead a modern, normal life here. Of course, it's more of a paranormal life. When all of your neighbors are supernatural beings or those born to magick, every day has a strange new secret to reveal. This ongoing collection will reveal the various adventures of the upstanding and not-so-upstanding citizens of Puesta del Sol. 1: Like Blood for Chocolate: This short story first appeared in the "Undeath by Chocolate" anthology, which is available on both Wattpad and Amazon.

A poem...

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
