Atahualpa’s Mummy: Book 1 of the Harrogate Chronicles

When Queen Victoria believes Napoleon II, the French Emperor, is after an ancient Incan artifact that grants invincibility to whatever army possesses it, she sends her best agent, Lady Esmeralda Eggerton, Countess of Harrogate, to recover it first. But Queen Airmed of the Fae, the hidden people of Tír na nÓg, has her own plans for the artifact, sending her half-human Shadow agent, Kinzalynn, on a similar mission. Though adversaries, Esme and Kinzy must overcome their mutual distrust and work together before the power of Atahualpa’s mummy falls into the hands of Bonaparte and destroys both their worlds.

The Magical Underground

Your Goyle and Mine
The Magical Underground Book 1

A rebel witch
A missing gargoyle
A deadly adversary


It’s 1921. The Great War is finally over, but trouble is again brewing for Paris’ most defiant witch.
When Father Dominic knocks at Celeste Bérenger’s door asking her to find Eddie, one of the last living gargoyles, she jumps at the chance.

For the last fifty years, she and her life partner, Astrid Tollefsen, have run an apothecary shop on the border between the hidden Magical Quarter with its cornucopia of magical denizens and the mundane streets of post-war Paris. Fifty years of punishment for a devastating natural disaster that wasn’t entirely Celeste’s fault.

But this is her chance to feel useful again.

Helped by her friend, the undead Lord Byron, Celeste’s hunt for Eddie leads her from the casinos and brothels of the Magical Quarter to the Bohemian intelligentsia of Gertrude Stein’s Saturday salons, and into a devious web of danger woven just for her. To protect Byron, save Astrid, and rescue Eddie, Celeste must defy the rules again and draw on forbidden magic…before time runs out for all of them.
