Ghost Garages
2017
Urban fantasy and cozy mystery mix amusingly in this first novel in the Boston Technowitch series. … Some aspects of Pepper’s life are a little absurd …. But if you can handle them, the quirks and over-the-top bits add a lot to the fun, for a very entertaining start to a new series. — Locus, October 2017 Pepper Karalis, Boston's only technowitch, doesn’t spend a lot of time hanging out with other witches. Most of the time, she's too busy working at a coffee shop and raising her twins to bother with magic, although it's there when she wants it. But then she runs across the ghost of a murdered woman in a neighborhood parking garage—the first of many. The ghosts are raising tempers everywhere, and Boston's other witches are certain Pepper's to blame, even though she's doing everything she can to banish the ghosts. Now she needs to find the real killer and clear her name before the other witches decide they have to stop her permanently…

Siren Circle
2017
Pepper Karalis is still adjusting to the discovery that Boston is rich in magical life. It’s not enough that her kids are sneaking around trying to do magic without her learning about it—she has to deal with a wide array of magic outside the home, too. In addition to witches and a Lung dragon who busks in T stations, she's run into a muse, trolls, and centaurs … and now she's found a colony of sirens near Symphony Hall, who instantly rub her the wrong way. When magical compulsion starts causing deaths that look like suicides, Pepper needs to know—is someone targeting the sirens? Or are they the source of the threat? The longer it takes Pepper to find the killer, the more people will die. Siren Circle is the second book in the exciting new Boston Technowitch series.

Troll Tunnels
2018
Pepper Karalis, technowitch, has interacted with the trolls in Boston’s T before. They’ve warned her about problems in the bedrock of magic—holes, cracks, quakes. Now they want her to fix it. She can’t see the magic as they can, so she has to partner with a troll to do the work. Too late, she realizes not everyone wants her to succeed. Can she evade the traps set for her, repair the material of magic itself, and still manage to make her court date for the custody suit her ex has brought against her? Troll Tunnels is the third book in the Boston Technowitch series.

Maenad March
2022
Growing stronger should make life easier, shouldn’t it?
Pepper Karalis—technowitch, mother, and coffee shop manager—has more than enough on her plate already. But when a college student in a state of enchanted drunkenness staggers into the coffee shop, Pepper can’t turn her away without trying to help. Even though that means coming face-to-face with the powerful maenads who have taken over a dorm at Pepper’s alma mater. Magical beings who worship Dionysus and cause enchanted drunkenness, maenads exist on their own terms. Driving them off and keeping the college safe isn’t going to be easy. Then there are the rest of Pepper’s challenges. Minor things, like navigating her increased responsibilities at work, attending her college ex’s wedding, meeting the new man her best friend is dating, and worrying what the witches who serve Tiamat are up to now. Oh, and dealing with family and the increasingly large number of witches and other magical creatures in her life. Should be a piece of cake, right?
