The Virtuous Vampire

2004

A Gooden and Knight Paranormal Mystery Abigail Merriweather Gooden isn’t your typical Austin, Texas lawyer. Sure she has the so very chic law offices on West 6th Street and the prominent social status that comes from old Texas money, but she also has magic with a "k." Abbie, after all, is a witch. So it isn’t surprising that the preternatural community sends all its legal matters to her. Such is the case with Jurnik Golub, owner of Exotica, a popular Austin gentlemen’s club. Jurnik is a vampire—and someone has attempted to frame him for the murder of one of his strippers. All lawyers like innocent clients—and Jurnik is definitely innocent, being that he was sleeping the sleep of the undead during the time of the murder. Abbie, along with Lucan Knight, the shape-shifter private detective Jurnik has hired, must race to find "whodunnit" before the Austin police haul Jurnik in—and he becomes one crispy client.

The Deadly Seance

2011

Smart, sexy, and full of magic, Gooden and Knight are back! Someone’s committed murder during a séance, and with plenty of suspects, it’s up to Abbie and Luc to find the answers before the killer strikes again. With a little help from their friends, they may just survive! Abigail Gooden's Uncle Vidal is in love. His soon-to-be bride, Ariana Huntingdon, has asked him to perform a séance. Its purpose is twofold: to obtain Ari’s deceased husband’s blessing for the nuptials and to get his advice about some much needed tough love for their three adult children. Before Vidal can perform the séance, Ari dies in his arms—and it's definitely murder. One of the five people in the room did it. Was it one of the spoiled children whose allowances were to be cut off? Was it Ari’s long-suffering, poor-relation secretary, Rose Connors? Or was it the butler, Simmons? Abbie and Luc barely begin to investigate Ari’s death before another murder occurs. With ties connecting the current deaths to two previous ones and danger from Abbie’s past stalking them, it will take all their smarts plus help from their friends and a whole lot of magic to figure out whodunit before the killer strikes again.
