Destiny Blues
2013
Some people attract stray cats. With Mattie Blackman, it's demons.
At work, in her car, even at the foot of her bed. And with the FBI on the hunt for a rogue demon master, she's desperate to get rid of them. Thwarted at every turn to solve her problem through legitimate channels, she turns to Shore Haven's sexy mage for the answer: a fate she refuses to accept.
But as the serial killer's victims pile up, Mattie realizes there's only one way to stop a demon master. To save her friends and the people she loves, Mattie must choose between her life and her destiny.
“…amusingly off-beat…fun…romp.”

Zombies, Wizards, and Dragons (oh my!)
Mattie Blackman is the last living descendent of the Goddess Morta. As the new Hand of Fate, she discovers her powers over the undead can't help solve her problems with the living. When Shore Haven's supernatural community is threatened and one of her friends murdered, Mattie is accused and must solve the mystery on her own. This time, she and her demon Blix face a vodoun sorcerer with powers more dangerous than death itself—and he wants nothing less than her immortal soul.

Chaos Karma

LET THE SPIRITS REIGN
As Grand Marshal of the annual International Spirit Festival & Gala, Mattie Blackman soon discovers that fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Some days, even the Hand of Fate can’t get much respect. The week-long bacchanal has brought every sort of spirit, demon, shape-shifter, and vampire to town, and one of them is preying on the supernatural citizens of Shore Haven. With the authorities trying to keep the story quiet, Mattie will need more than Morta’s magic to stop the killer.

Nothing can hurt the dead. They’re lucky that way.
As Mattie Blackman's personal life with Rhys heats up, the dead frantically appeal to the Hand of Fate for help. An ancient evil is stirring.

Cosmic Groove
2017
Sometimes, every deal is a bad hand.
Mattie's oath to Morta is under siege, and now there's hell to pay. With an immortal sorcerer and his demon on the rampage, and a feud about to explode between the lycans and the witches, only a bad deal with the dead can help Mattie lift a centuries-old curse and rescue Rhys. But neither Mattie nor her friends suspect there's a deeper, darker plot that threatens the lives of everyone in Shore Haven.
For Mattie Blackman, the Hand of Fate may be a very bad deal indeed.
