Her friends will get Nina to the therapist’s office, even if they have to lure her with last bag of Cheetos in Manhattan. Of course, the girls couldn’t possibly know that Doctor Malone has an agenda. A forced agenda involving blackmail, which may just save one life…while ending another. It goes against everything January, a white witch, has ever believed in, personally and professionally. But the alternative means putting her trust in a foul-mouthed ex-vampire, her werewolf and halfsie friends, a demon, a zombie, a bear and their assorted mates… Yikes! \\\Author Note: This is an Accidental Quickie and shorter in length than prior novels in the series.\\\

Marty, together with her equally iconic friends Nina and Wanda, are Rocky’s idols. To say she’s an OOPs fangirl is putting it mildly. No way is she willing to deal with eons of hate Tweets for taking the soul of a paranormal superstar. Reaping supernaturals isn’t even her gig. She’s strictly human-only. No. There must be some mistake with the list, and she’ll get to the bottom of it…if she can just ignore the distracting reappearance of a certain hunky doctor in her life. Hudson Kahlil—frequently known as Dr. Sexypants among besotted patients and staff—could swear he knows Roxanne from somewhere. As a phoenix who’s regularly reincarnated with no previous knowledge of his past lives, he’s not surprised he can’t place her. Though he’d love to reacquaint himself…and he may get the chance, since they’re both temporarily staying at Marty Flaherty’s home, protecting her while racing to find an unknown threat. Nina, Wanda and their assorted framily may be able to save Marty’s immortal soul from an enemy whose plan is still unclear…but they can’t save Rocky from the backlash when her secret past connection to Hudson is finally revealed.

Next thing you know, he’s got weird…appendages…popping up all over the place…a fin here, a lock of pink hair there, a mangy tail somewhere else… Maybe he actually fell asleep in his car and the exhaust fumes made him loco. It’s the only way to explain the insanity that ensues when he finds himself surrounded by a group of stunning ladies claiming to be paranormal beings, along with their entourage of demon, zombie, and troll butler/chef. And let’s not even discuss the line around the block of other supernatural species, each hoping to claim Kash as their own… Oh, and one totally crush-worthy human scientist.

The Accidental Fairy

2023

“Did you ever think you’d meet a bigger, foul\-tempered potty mouth than Nina? Well, folks, meet Primrose Dunham. It’s Christmas and as the OOPs gang prepares for the holidays another “accident” finds its way to their doorstep. That accident turns out to be angry, foul\-mouthed, rude and, well… Just like Nina. Primrose Dunham has been accidentally turned into a fairy. As if she wasn’t already angry enough with the world, now she has sporadic powers she can’t control, pointy ears, and a weird hump on her back that everyone keeps calling a “wing.” If that’s not enough of a shock, a vampire, a werewolf and a halfsie come to her “rescue”…whether she wants them to help or not. Oh, and the man she’s been trying to avoid—the “the literal boy next door and her one\-time bestie, Rafferty Monroe—gets turned as well, thanks to Primrose! It’ll take more than a Christmas miracle to thaw Prim’s frosty attitude, protect her from her sinister stepfather, and figure out why there’s a price on her head in the fairy world. But it’s nothing the OOPs ladies—along with assorted paranormal friends and framily—can’t handle. Right?

The Accidental Ghost

2024

Raphaela Tucci, Ralph to those who know and love her, beloved former first\-grade teacher, newly minted bookstore owner, and ever the optimist is dead… Dead. Not only is she dead, she’s a ghost. Like, bonafide see\-through, floating, boo screeching ghost. It’s hard to be optimistic when your life tragically ends the moment you begin to live your dream. But Ralph tries anyway, even as she finds herself stuck in Nina’s big castle—on Long Island, no less. Ralph doesn’t know how she ended up where she landed, but after a week of floating silently unseen through room after room, watching these kooky but loveable women live their lives, she doesn’t understand why her destiny isn’t even close to what she’s read in books and seen in movies. Maybe there really isn’t an upstairs after all? Enter Shamus Ransom, the biggest (hottest) silver\-fox elf (whaaat?) she’s ever seen with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. He’s been hired by Nina to eliminate the funny smell the vampire's positive is a ghost haunting her castle. What he finds is a beautiful, completely stuck ghost with a heart of gold and an optimistic outlook he’s never seen in an entity. Shamus’s job already isn’t an easy one, but as he tries to find out why Ralph is stuck and categorize what type of ghost she is, he also finds himself falling in deep like with her. Getting involved is absolutely out of the question. Theirs would be far more than a long distance romance. To even consider it was ludicrous, right? But as Shamus and the women of OOPS try and figure out what happened to Ralph on the night she was killed and why she’s cemented on this plane, there are dangerous entities gunning for Ralph and they won’t stop until she’s locked away in Hell—forever...

The Accidental Witch

2024

Who knew a silly game of Twister would turn into this? After a spirited game of Twister with her fellow apartment mates, wherein the absence of the cardboard "spinny thing” forces them to use an old planchette from a Ouija board as a replacement, Roberta Tisdale’s left hand can, among other fun stuff, set things on fire—namely, her hair. And right after meeting her, Nina’s hair, too. Imagine how that conversation goes... Just when Robbie was adjusting to her new life after turning her back on her wealthy family and their evil machinations, this happens, but she throws her whole body into this crazy magic she's happened upon, learning how to cast spells without taking out an entire country, and getting acqauinted with her new ride, a talking broom named, Hervé (yep. Like the guy on Fantasy Island). All this in the hopes she can become a part of a community who’ll welcome her—a place where she can belong... Greer Winthrop, a former male witch who’s lost his powers and placed a self\-imposed isolation from his coven on himself, has an ugly past and an even uglier secret he’s carried with him for five years. Five painful years. When he gets wind of the scent of his dead grandmother’s magic, now lodged in Robbie’s hand, he’s all about teaching her how to use it while he waits to hear from his coven for advice. Except, he never hears from his coven and he can’t figure out how his grandmother’s power is still floating around the universe when she’s supposed to be dead… Her magic should have died with her. Now, he’s got a fledgling witch on his hands with some mighty hefty power in her possession—power an insidious monster of a witch once owned. With his powers gone, Greer can only take Robbie so far without the help of his fellow witches. But how can you do that when your coven members have literally disappeared and you can’t find them—anywhere? As Robbie and Greer embark on her witch journey, and they find themselves fighting an undeniable attraction—an insidious evil lurks. And that evil wants Robbie’s magic—no matter the cost!
