She’s started over in midlife as a home health nurse for elderly monsters and as a witch with growing powers. She solves mysteries and fights evildoers with help from a cute reporter. But dangerous secrets from the parents she never knew keep bubbling up. SNOWBIRDS OF PREY Dead bodies, drained of blood, are piling up on the beach beside Squid Tower. Unfortunately, this condo community is full of retired vampires who won’t survive if the police find out about them. Is one of their own responsible for the bodies? Or is someone framing them? Missy must solve the mystery. INVASIVE SPECIES Missy nurses an injured baby dragon she found in the Everglades.

Book excerpt: Beneath the glitter of Gilded Age Palm Beach, monsters lurk in the shadows. In 1902, the world is full of new wonders, from telephones to motorcars. It's full of prejudice, too, particularly for people born with physical deformities. Dr. Frank Follett's mission is to study and help them. His specialty is called teratology, derived from the Greek word for "monster." But he never expected to encounter real monsters. Traumatized by his service in the Philippine-American War, he travels to the resort of Palm Beach, Florida, to recuperate. There, he is amazed by two patients who not only have physical challenges, but paranormal abilities as well. A young child, born without limbs, channels the spirit of Follett's late beloved wife. A wealthy young man, born with the appearance of a hairy monster, is also a telepath. Follett struggles to reconcile his scientific mind with the phenomena he encounters. Then the limbless girl is kidnapped by a serial killer who has been striking each tourist season. And the young man becomes possessed by a malevolent entity and goes on a murderous rampage. Follett and fellow tourist Mark Twain risk their lives to try to rescue the young girl and stop the monster's killing spree. The question remains: What is deadlier, supernatural monsters or those of the human kind? Find out in The Teratologist, the first in a series of historical thrillers immersed in horror.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book 1: Dead at Third He knows he’s more than just another washed-up ex-cop. Solving a murder will help him prove it... A straight-shooter who lives on a boat and likes a drink or two, Henry’s frustrated he can't even land work as a dispatcher. And his job running security for a local baseball team is far from his idea of excitement. But it pays the bills. The morning after the season ends, Henry’s at his friend’s bar with a Bloody Mary in one hand and a phone in the other. He takes a call that could change everything... Turns out a couple of fishermen pulled third baseman Lance Moreau’s body from the St. Johns River. And his teammate's been arrested for the murder. The team's owner turns to Henry to help prove the cops have the wrong man. Henry knows working security in an empty ballpark is one thing. But investigating a murder? It won’t be easy. Lucky for him he has Alex Jepson on his side. She’s beautiful. She’s tough. And as Henry likes to say...she’s the one with the brains. They’re a good match, in more ways than one. Now all they have to do is find the real killer... Book 2: The Last Ride One Sunday morning, John Thompson went out for a ride on his bike. He never made it home. Was it really just an accident? That’s the question ex-wife Angela Thompson has for the Sheriff’s Office. But they refuse to investigate further… She’d been told by a mutual friend that if anyone can get to the truth, it’s Henry Walsh. He’d only recently aced the Florida private investigator’s exam and paid his one-hundred-sixty-seven dollar fee. But with the ink still wet on his new business cards, he’s got his first big client. At first, he’s reluctant to take the case. There’s no doubt, the evidence is thin. But Henry’s a headstrong, straight-shooter. He’ll take his chances. And he could use the work. John Thompson had some questionable business dealings with a friend. And with an ex-wife, a dead wife, a young widow, and a handful of women on the side...questions about his past quickly rise to the surface. With help from ex-cop Alexandria “Alex” Jepson, the two start to dive into the investigation. But it all hits home when a head-on collision injures Alex, and Henry fears the worst. It soon becomes crystal clear someone is out to stop them. And the more Henry digs, the deadlier it becomes… Book 3: The Crystal Pelican In his most thrilling mystery yet, private investigator Henry Walsh dodges bullets, bombs, and married women to help find a friend’s missing fiancé… Just as he’s about to begin the search, an explosion rocks the marina where his friend was staying. When divers from the Sheriff’s Office come up out of the water empty handed, Henry can only fear the worst. But he keeps his promise, and leaves no stone unturned as he continues his search for his friend’s fiancé. And as he hunts for those responsible, it’s Henry who soon becomes the hunted. The target on his back only grows, and he must fight to keep those around him out of harm’s way. His normally hard-shelled partner Alex is worried they’re in way over their heads. She pleads with him to leave it in the hands of the Sheriff’s Office. But walking away was never Henry’s thing. And he knows once he has all the pieces, he’ll have no problem making them fit. As long as he can stay alive... When Henry finally discovers the one thing everyone’s been after, getting his hands on it is his only option. But it won’t be as easy. Apparently, it’s a treasure worth killing for…
