It's a match made in Hell—literally. Poppy Ballinger is in jail for a crime she didn't commit—though not for lack of trying. Kyle Klein deserved every stab wound he'd gotten for implicating her family as demon summoners and getting them executed but now his father wants Poppy dead and he'll pull every rotten trick in the book to make it happen. Cue Mayhem and Crush, two gargoyles sent by Poppy's friend Korri to keep her safe. The only problem is Poppy doesn't need their help. She can take care of herself, thank you very much. But the 'goyles aren't listening and they aren't leaving, which means Poppy has two new shadows whether she likes it or not. Two new shadows who aren’t bad to look at, who make her laugh despite her fear and sorrow, and who are bound and determined to keep her alive no matter the cost to themselves. Captured Magic is a slow burn reverse harem that is set in the same world as Corpse Curses, Caustic Charms, and Inky Incantations. (Books 1 and 2 are out now. Book 3 will be out soon.)

Hello! I'm a writer from Nebraska who enjoys fantasy of all kinds. Stories don't always seem quite as much fun without some element of magic. I started out writing romances because that's what my best friend and I loved to read. (My other best friend and I wrote about our science teacher being an alien and hard boiled detectives.) I have a varied and exciting inner fantasy life, you might say. My first full length novel was a fun private detective, contemporary, crazy love story. I'm working on rewrites so that I can get it out into the world. The first book I've published is an urban fantasy about a mother who doesn't know how to be a hero, but luckily she's a quick study. I studied fiction writing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha but didn't truly appreciate the experience. Now that I've written millions of words, I think it might be fun to go back and take some more classes. (It might be fun...or it might be annoying, who knows?) I love to read and I adore talking to people about writing and reading. And crochet! Thank you for dropping by and thank you for reading my book. It honors me that you would spend some time in my imaginary world.
