A bewitching tale of mystery, magic and mayhem delivered by a sharp-tongued protagonist with a 200-pound Great Dane familiar.

Stacy Justice may be a witch, but she still wants a nice, normal twenty-ninth birthday. Unfortunately, Stacy rarely gets normal. As her grandmother, Birdie, plans a birthday ritual for Stacy, disastrous news derails the celebration: the magic cauldron that supplies the world’s food has disappeared. And the last time it vanished, Ireland fell under the Great Famine.

A secret society known as The Council decrees that if Stacy finds the cauldron, she’ll receive the coveted role of Seeker of Justice, and her mother will finally be freed from prison in Ireland. But the grandson of nasty council member Tallulah challenges Stacy for the role. If he finds the cauldron first, Stacy will never see her mother again. And if they both fail, the world will suffer an unimaginable fate.

The fifth book in the enchanted Stacy Justice series, Emerald Isle follows Stacy’s journey to Ireland—and to a mysterious, magical world. But can the reluctant witch complete her international, intergenerational quest in time to save her mother—and the whole planet?

Set in a small town, centered around a sassy witch, her mischievous family, and a Great Dane familiar, The Stacy Justice Mystery Series is pure magic!

Stacy Justice is looking forward to a lazy summer of hot dogs and beer; swims in the lake with her Great Dane, Thor; and hanging with her rekindled old flame, Chance. But when she gets a creepy anonymous call hinting that her father’s “accidental” death fourteen years ago was actually a murder, she’s too unsettled to relax. Stacy has blamed herself for his death all along—in fact, it’s the reason she’s fought so hard against being a witch. But who’d want to kill an innocent small-time newspaperman?

That’s the question on Stacy’s mind when she casts a spell that goes horribly wrong. And between the white tiger that keeps appearing out of thin air, the body in the lake, the feisty razor-toothed Chihuahua, and the gun-toting maniac, she suddenly has her hands full once again. But solving the mystery of her father’s death is Stacy’s number-one priority…and avenging it, if necessary, is a very close second.

Continuing the thrilling Stacy Justice saga, Tiger’s Eye drives the reluctant witch deeper into the mysteries of her family’s past…and the darker regions of her soul.

When an Underworld goddess is unleashed in Las Vegas, all Hades breaks loose. 

They call me The Punisher. Because that’s my job—to punish those who have committed heinous crimes. But my official title, as one of the three Furies, is Avenger of Murder. I don’t mind it, but it’s not entirely accurate. Avenger implies vengeance, which implies personal. My job is not personal. I have no stake in the matter. Right is right and wrong is wrong. If you choose wrong and the law doesn’t discipline you, you can bet your ass that I will. 

So it was never personal. 

Until today. 

Today I learned that my sister, Alecto, was taken. Despite being banned from the mortal realm for killing a human, the gods want to send me back to find her. Except I’m not going alone. They’re forcing me to team up with a mortal lawman whose last case was tracking similar disappearances. The man tests my every nerve and comes dangerously close to inciting my fury. And, if I’m being honest, my desire. 

As if that wasn’t bad enough, a slew of demons keep getting in the way, there’s a maniac working ancient black magic, and we have to find my sister before the gateway closes on the night of the new moon—which is mere days away—or be trapped forever.

Not exactly the week I had planned. Now, if I can just suffer the scorching sun and blinding lights of Las Vegas without killing anyone—and without giving in to my temptation to both punch and kiss the lawman—we may make it out of here alive. 

Previously titled Sin City Goddess.

Take a reluctant witch. Add a kooky cast of characters. Place in a small town. Sprinkle on a hint of magic and stir in a helping of humor. Garnish with a Great Dane and you have the Stacy Justice mystery series. 

It’s nearing Yule in Amethyst, and the witchy reporter, Stacy Justice, is consumed with only one thing—getting through her cousin Cinnamon’s baby shower. Everyone is anticipating the arrival of the newest, tiniest Geraghty. Even Stacy's familiar, Thor, is searching for the perfect gift. When Cinnamon’s Italian relatives swarm the town like locusts, Stacy has only three things on her mind--provide a peaceful affair for both mother and unborn baby, spend some quality time with her own mother who is visiting from Ireland, and eat as much of her aunt Lolly’s famous food as she can stomach. 

But someone else has an entirely different agenda. Someone consumed with rage, jealousy and bitterness. Someone who feels that the Geraghtys—and especially Stacy—are standing in the way of a fated prophesy. 

When a ghost who doesn’t know he’s a ghost, follows Stacy home from a crime scene, she thinks her biggest problem is trying to convince the teenager that he’s dead. Until she discovers her mother conspiring with a secret coven, Cinnamon acting strangely magical, and Birdie and the aunts have lost their mojo. Then a spell is cast designed to siphon all of Stacy’s magic and rip away the very identity she’s worked so hard to accept. 

Worst of all? A visit from an old friend warns Stacy that she has only one week left to live. 

The seventh book in the heart-pounding, bewitching mystery series is sure to please long standing fans and new readers alike as secrets are revealed and loyalties are shattered. When the last page is turned, neither readers, nor the Seeker herself, will ever be the same.
