Adventures of a Vegan Vamp
2016
Undead and vegan? Not the afterlife this girl had planned.
Waking up thin is one thing. But waking up gaunt, hangry, and undead makes for a very bad day. Mallory's killer better hide, because she's just discovered blood, meat, and dairy don't agree with her, and a future with no cheese is grim indeed. She's out to find her killer... and maybe a vegan cheese that doesn't melt her nose hairs.
#2
The Client's Conundrum
2016
Hungry vamps make the best sleuths!
Or do they? Mallory is about to find out, because she's got a client relying on her to solve an inconvenient murder—and her stomach won't stop grumbling. Thankfully, she's got a team of both magical and human friends to help her solve the murder... and slip her snacks to stave off a never ending hunger.
The Client's Conundrum can be read in sequence or as a stand alone story.

The Elvis Enigma
2016
Elvis is alive - and he's missing!
Except the missing man isn't exactly Elvis. And he's not alive...in the traditional sense. But the man who's not quite Elvis is definitely missing. Mallory won't let the confusing nature of not-quite-Elvis' background stop her from investigating, not when there's a mystery to solve. And who better to crack a case involving the weird and wondrous than the best (and hungriest) sleuthing vamp around?
If she can just keep the mundane police in the dark and her budding romantic feelings for her partner under wraps, then she might have a shot.
The Elvis Enigma can be read in sequence or as a stand alone story.

The Halloween Haunting
2018
It’s bingo night at the retirement center!
It sounds tame enough to Mallory, except the residents of this particular community include a grandmotherly hacker, a retired witch, and, once upon a time, Mallory’s Great-Auntie Lula. Visiting her dead relative’s former abode brings back memories for Mallory, but it also rather unexpectedly brings back Great-Auntie Lula.
With her ghostly great-aunt’s help, can Mallory and her crew discover who’s burgled Bradley’s condo, and why everyone involved with the break-in keeps dying?
#6
The Selection Shenanigans
2020
Fairy farts and dragon tears

And dragons? Since when are dragons real? And who thought that was a good secret to keep from everyone’s favorite vegan vampire?
Mallory ditches a few more magical misconceptions as she, Alex, and her crew hunt down a murderer and try to save the Society’s mayoral selection (not election) from imploding.

But…murder?
Mallory’s been hired by a surprising client to prove that while these three cupids might have committed a caper or two, they weren’t up for murder.
