Grim Tidings
2014
Grim(ace) while you work ...
Aisling Grimlock is having a bad week. Well, actually, she’s having a bad life—not that she's complaining. Okay, she's totally complaining.
After being laid off from her secretarial position, she has no choice but to join the family business, and now she’s a full-time grim reaper. That’s right. She collects and transfers souls to the hereafter.
Cool, huh? Not quite.
On the second day of her new job, Aisling (literally!) stumbles over a dead body that’s not on her list and the stakes are suddenly raised because, when a name isn’t on the list, that means someone stole it (and that's never a good thing).
Aisling’s family, which consists of a tempestuous father and four overbearing older brothers, are hot on the case – but the answers they’re coming up with aren’t exactly soothing.
It seems a contingent of wraiths have descended on the area, and they’re not just dangerous for unsuspecting souls and the general populace. The Grimlock family is at risk, too.
If that weren’t bad enough, Aisling finds herself inexplicably drawn to Detective Griffin Taylor – the police officer who considers her a murder suspect. Oh, and she's a wraith-magnet—although, truth be told, she's more interested in Detective Taylor.
Aisling is determined to prove that she has what it takes to be a great reaper – even if it means risking her life and proving her father and brothers wrong when it comes to her competence level.
When things finally become clear, will Aisling survive long enough to make things right? Or, will she fall prey to the wraiths and the individual controlling them?

Grim Offerings
2015
Grim and bear it.
Being a grim reaper isn’t easy, but answering to family is even worse.
Between argumentative souls, overbearing older brothers and everyday nonsense, Aisling Grimlock has her hands full.
When a run-of-the-mill job goes awry, Aisling finds herself in a mess. The soul she was supposed to collect is still amongst the living, and the man who wanted to kill him is dead instead.
Detective Griffin Taylor is returning from an undercover assignment, and the first thing he wants to do is reconnect with Aisling. Her brother Aidan is giving him fits, though, and the rest of the family isn’t making things much easier.
When wraiths start showing up again, and a member of the Grimlock family is seriously hurt, it’s all hands on deck for the final showdown. Unfortunately for the Grimlocks, they can never do anything the normal way.
Aisling is chafing under worry and pressure, and her family is circling the wagons. It’s going to take everyone working together to survive – and when the final fight is finally waged, a huge secret is revealed that will change the Grimlocks’ world forever.

Grim Discovery
2015
Aisling Grimlock’s life is a mess.
Her mother might be back from the dead.
Wraiths appear to be after her again.
Her father is definitely up to something.
Michigan’s most calamity-prone grim reaper is in a pickle, and the only one she can trust with a haunting secret is her boyfriend Griffin.
Aisling is determined to find answers before she unloads a heavy dose of truth on her family, but when things become dangerous, Aisling’s life is in jeopardy … again.
The wraiths are back and on the move, and their primary goal appears to be getting their hands on Aisling. They’ve enlisted other supernatural help this time, and when gargoyles literally start dropping from the sky Aisling has no choice but to be honest.
The Grimlocks are at a crossroad. The only thing they know for certain is that they will fight together to make sure they don’t die alone.

#4
Grim Reunion
2016
Aisling Grimlock has a lot going on.
Her boyfriend is keeping a secret … with her brother. She’s finally on her own collecting souls for the family reaping business. Oh, and her mother is back from the dead and may be eating people to keep herself alive.
When trouble comes knocking and someone Aisling adores is left injured in the crossfire, she’s out for blood and vengeance. Her brothers want to believe their mother is telling the truth – and part of Aisling does, too – but protecting those she loves is more important than buried memories.
Griffin vows to stand by Aisling, but he’s out of his element and worried the weight of the world may drag her down. He fears he doesn’t have the strength to stop it.
Aisling wants the truth, and she’s willing to fight to get it. Sometimes a good lie is better than a bad truth, though, and Aisling might not like what she finds at the end of memory lane.
The final fight is between good and evil, but who will end up on what side?

#5
Grim Expectations
2016
Aisling Grimlock is living a charmed life … kind of.
Things are going well for Michigan’s favorite grim reaper, though. She’s moving in with her boyfriend Griffin Taylor, her best friend Jerry is doing his best not to melt down and her back-from-the-dead mother doesn’t appear to be munching on the unsuspecting populace. Er, well, maybe.
All of that changes when another reaping family goes missing and Aisling and her merry band of family and friends are tossed into the middle of a mystery that will have long-lasting repercussions.
When one member of the reaping family shows up hurt and needing help, Aisling makes it her mission to discover what happened to the girl’s family even as she tries to keep the people she loves most safe.
In the end, Aisling will uncover a dark secret … and it may lead back to her own family thanks to her mother’s unwholesome escapades.
Will Aisling survive to protect those she loves most? Or will she fall prey to an enemy she never saw coming?

Grim Holiday
2017
Christmas is supposed to be a happy time but Aisling Grimlock is feeling anything but festive. For her, the world seems to be shrinking and good cheer is hard to find.
Her live-in boyfriend Griffin Taylor is in a good mood. His shopping is done, he’s happy with their new living arrangements and his mother is coming to visit. This will be the first time she meets the Grimlock family… and Aisling has her doubts about how smooth the meeting will go.
Aisling’s worry about meeting Griffin’s mother takes a backseat when a new enemy appears, this one haunting Aisling in mirrors and turning up at the exact wrong time. The creature seems fascinated with Aisling – following her from one mirror to the next – and threatening her very survival.
The Grimlocks are going to have to join together when one of their own goes down, banding together as a united front to make sure the thing they love most – their family – isn’t torn apart.
Christmas is coming… and so is trouble. Survival isn’t a given this year, but the Grimlocks won’t give up without a fight.

#7
Grim Rising
2017
Aisling Grimlock should be happy.
She’s living with and engaged to the man of her dreams, her mother isn’t eating people… at least out in the open, her best friend is distracted by wedding details… mostly, and there are zombies running around Detroit.
Yeah, it’s that last one that’s driving her crazy… especially because no one in her family believes her when she spouts the tall tale.
Aisling Grimlock is a reaper in trouble. She’s got big decisions in front of her and nonstop trouble chasing behind. The dead appear to be rising… and they’ve got their eyes (and teeth, for that matter) trained on Aisling and her family.
Even though the rest of the family thinks she’s exaggerating – or even lying because she’s looking for attention – they’re determined to help before Aisling goes over the edge. It seems there might be a little something going on, and Aisling might have been right all along.
You know what that means, right? Yes, she’s doing her “I’m right” dance… and then ducking for cover.
It’s going to take every Grimlock to fight this enemy, and even then, Aisling will be isolated in the end. The question is: Can she win the day or is she destined to join the creatures stalking her?

#8
Grim Tempest
2018
Life should be good for Aisling Grimlock. She’s engaged to a great guy, she’s getting the hang of being a reaper, and her rich father spoils her rotten on a regular basis. All that changes when a series of storms hit and the Michigan populace starts turning downright dangerous.
The streets are running with blood as people turn on one another for no good reason and the hospital is filling up with the sick and injured. That’s on top of the ones who are dying in terrible fashion… and leaving nothing but angst in their wake.
Right from the beginning, Aisling is convinced the storms are magical in origin. Of course, because she’s prone to theatrical fits, no one believes her… until the storms hit a little too close to home and Aisling herself is in danger from the one person she trusts above all others.
As a cop, Griffin Davenport is used to putting his life on the line. What he’s not comfortable with is being a threat to the people he’s supposed to be helping. The storms, you see, don’t affect reapers but those they love are in a heap of danger.
Aisling is determined to find the source of the storms, even if it leads to someone in her own family. She’s willing to claw, scratch and fight until the danger is eliminated. She’s also willing to whine, cajole and beg if it means she gets her way.
A big fight is coming, and it will be under a cloudy sky. Will the Grimlocks live to reap another day or have they finally found an enemy that’s big enough to take them out?

#9

What does she ultimately want?
Does she have anyone’s best interests at heart?
All of those questions are about to be answered, although the person providing the information is one Aisling thought she would never see again. Another woman, another time, another mother.
It’s all coming together … and the ultimate limit of Aisling’s strength and fortitude is about to be tested.
Cormack Grimlock is determined to give his daughter the wedding of her dreams. The four Grimlock brothers are determined to serve as protectors. And Griffin? He just wants a happy wife and to start a new life.
There’s only one thing standing in their way, one battle left to fight.
The time is here. The Grimlocks are throwing down, and not everyone is going to make it out alive … and happily ever after might ultimately be a dream.

Now & Grim
A Grimlock Family Short
2018
Cillian Grimlock is often considered the calm one in his family – and for good reason – but that’s not saying much.
All of that flies out the window when his girlfriend Maya insists on a double date with her brother and his sister. And, to make matters worse, she picks the activity … and it’s a Shakespeare in the Park event.
Culture and the Grimlocks? Uh-oh.
In short order, Cillian finds himself saddled with his drunk sister, his girlfriend’s intense brother, and a murder that didn’t show up on the reaper list. Oh, it also happened in public, and there are suspects around every corner.
Unsure where to turn, Cillian calls his father and it’s up to the Grimlock family to solve the murder, track down the errant soul, and somehow keep his sister Aisling from causing his father to explode.
So, basically, it’s a normal summer night … as long as no one gets hurt in the process, that is.
Note: This is a 28,000-word short set in the Aisling Grimlock world. It’s set in the past so it can be read at any time.

Grim Beginnings
2015
Aisling Grimlock never thought she’d join the family business. In fact, she was dead set against it. When an economic downturn causes her to lose her job, she’s forced to go to desperate measures to earn a living. Aisling comes from a big family of grim reapers – no, you read that right. She’s the youngest of five siblings – and the only girl – and the testosterone is going to hit the fan when the Grimlocks try to teach Aisling the ropes and keep her safe at the same time. Between rogue wraiths, murderous new acquaintances and gargoyles dropping from the sky, Aisling has her hands full. That’s on top of four brothers (and one curmudgeonly father) who would die for her – while also killing for her – and a police officer who’s desperate to learn the family secret. Follow Aisling as she delves into the mystery of her mother’s death and a world she never wanted to explore – and yet might fit in all the same. This omnibus includes the first three books in the Aisling Grimlock mystery Grim Tidings, Grim Offerings and Grim Discovery.

#4-6
Grim Middle
2017
The one thing you can always say about Aisling Grimlock is that her life is never boring.
Never.
Not even for five minutes.
She’s a grim reaper by trade, a sister by birth and a pain in the butt by choice. She lives in a world that’s always changing, rearranging and even growing.
This omnibus includes three titles: Grim Reunion, Grim Expectations and Grim Holiday.
Join Aisling and her merry band of family and friends and they deal with the impossible, including the return of the mother everyone long thought dead, the wraiths that never seem to rest and a visit from her boyfriend’s mother that just happens to come at the worst possible time.
All of her enemies seem to believe that Aisling is destined for greatness. All she thinks she’s destined for is constant sarcasm and the occasional headache.
Who’s right?

#7-9
Grim End
2018
Aisling Grimlock has been through more than most reapers can bear… and still she’s standing.
Her mother is back from the dead but Aisling isn’t convinced she’s worthy of being accepted back in the family. Unfortunately, Lily Grimlock isn’t always her daughter’s biggest. Often her brothers take over… and her father… and her boyfriend… and her best friend… oh, and an impending wedding. In addition to all that, she also has to take on magical storms and possible zombies (even though no one believes the dead are really rising).
Aisling may be spoiled, but she’s a fighter to the core. She won’t give up until every question is answered… and that’s where things are heading as her wedding approaches and her mother’s ultimate fate is finally sealed.
This three-book omnibus includes Grim Rising, Grim Tempest and Grim Vows.
