So what do you get when a mage with cerebral palsy who has a really complicated family history, a Fairy with chronic pain, and a mountain of a man at his physical peak but copes with severe depression, open their own private investigation firm? 

The story of Moonlight Investigations!

Moonlight Investigations is an urban fantasy story that takes place in Cleveland, Ohio, the city with weather so weird and a sports curse that stood for so long that it could only be the work of the supernatural. And in a setting where vampires, fairies, werewolves, and all sorts of magical creatures run about, it probably was. 

It follows the story of Jerry Maxwell, Chuck Wilson and Luna Hawking as they try to build their business, solve mysteries and hopefully not tear Cleveland to shreds (more than necessary). 

In the grand debut,  you'll be taken on a trip filled with twists, turns, intrigue, comedy, and magic as our heroes race against the clock to find a missing disabled teenager before malicious people take advantage of his special abilities for their own gain. You'll see many of Northeast Ohio's famous haunted landmarks. Whether they stand after Jerry gets there remains to be seen.All Rights Reserved

Bound by Moonlight by AbyssalSeahorse0

Title: Bound by Moonlight Setting: The story is set in the small, secluded town of Silverwood, surrounded by dense forests and steeped in supernatural secrets. The town has long been a neutral zone where werewolves and vampires coexist under a fragile truce. Act 1: The Forbidden Encounter Protagonist: 17-year-old Luka, a werewolf who has always felt out of place in his pack. While other wolves embrace their wild side, Luka is introspective and often finds solace in quiet, away from the pack's dominance struggles. Love Interest: Amara, a mysterious 18-year-old vampire who has just arrived in Silverwood with her coven. Unlike many vampires who exude arrogance, Amara is reserved, haunted by her past and the centuries of pain her family has caused. Her coven seeks power, and Amara is seen as their greatest asset due to her unique ability to control shadows. The werewolves and vampires are bound by ancient law: no werewolf and vampire may fall in love, as the last time it happened, it sparked a war that nearly destroyed both sides. But neither Luka nor Amara care about the rules. One fateful night, Luka, exploring the woods, stumbles upon Amara while she's hunting. She notices him but, instead of fighting or fleeing, something in his eyes intrigues her. They exchange few words, but an undeniable spark forms between them.
