Sitka's Quay appears to be like every other coastal tourist town on Highway 101, but lurking below its southern grove of ancient spruce are three sleeping primordial gods. The Keeper, Dayla Fischer, must remain in control of her magical abilities or fall into sickening madness, but lives a relatively quiet life with her husband, Oliver, their cat, and garden gnome roommates.
That is, until the delusional, but charming Jonah Leifson comes to town with a plan to awaken the Three in order to save humanity from itself. Soon, children begin disappearing. With powerful suggestion spells and mind reading abilities, Jonah wins over her neighbors, other sorcerers, meth users, the police, and eventually even her husband. Though no one believes her and she doubts her own sanity, she must stop Jonah-before he wakes the Three and brings about the end of the world.

Red Moon Demon (book one)
Because sometimes you have to fight fire with hellfire, there's Caine Deathwalker: raised as a demon, armed like a gun merchant, and fuelled by booze. Nice is a dirty word and killing is what he does best. Make a contract with hell, and he could be on your side, God help you. Caine signs onto guarding the beautiful daughter of a leading Japanese industrialist. Protecting is harder than indiscriminate murder and mayhem, but gold is gold, and the prize of a mystic demon sword is dangled over his head as added incentive. Haruka will make an interesting bonus if he can get her out of her kimono-and the damn living zombies will leave them alone long enough for him to bang her. A powerful succubus is playing cat to Caine's mouse, but he has a cat of his own; a black leopard spirit beast from the Amazon jungle that's taken a liking to him-and his booze. And then there's his "father", an ancient Atlantean demon with a code of honor. Formidable back-up, but Caine senses a greater threat lurking in the shadows, something primal, hungry, and possibly more evil than himself. He shakes his head. Nah, couldn't be. This book is intended for mature audiences.Complete

Due to a lack of direct "Sun"light, the world is cold and dark. But across this foreign planet, Birds. Many bird-like beings inhabit this world. They've established advanced civilization, monarchies, and five countries across the star shaped continent of the "Starry Feather". The story takes place through the eyes of various birds across the (impressively named) countries of Lightenia, Canadia, Mountainia, Icelandia, and Riverlandia. Though the birds may have lived normally this long, a sudden force makes way to end their peace. Recommended if you like lots of death, despair, destruction, deception, darkness, danger, defenestration, and arson.Complete
