After eighteen years in a Locus of Baltimore dungeon, Dr. Agon is released into the care of his daughter in the Locus of New York. Then Manhattan's jewelry stores start getting robbed. Detectives Dru Nogan and Leery Oriscoe spend the night together. On a stakeout. Why? What were you thinking?

A supernatural crime thriller with a soul-stealing Santa, winter ritual murders, and a case that puts a detective on the naughty list. Santa knows when you've been bad or good. He just doesn't care. Detective Leery Oriscoe thought the holiday season would bring eggnog, parties, and maybe even a certain succubus standing under the mistletoe. Instead, he and his partner Dru Nogan catch a case involving bodies in the snow, ancient magic, and a very different kind of Kris Kringle. A lich is any creature that achieves immortality through magic. Old Kris figured it out a long time ago. It takes sacrifice. And this year, he wants to sacrifice Leery.

A darkly comic urban fantasy crime thriller with violent gnome gangs, magical contraband, and a case that spirals out of control. Gnomes shouldn't be this dangerous.

Drusilla Nogan has always taken that responsibility seriously. Except when there's a cute gnome to talk to. With a notorious gnome gang tearing through Manhattan, Detective Leery Oriscoe plays bad cop while the gnomes answer with raw, unfettered violence. What starts as another supernatural gang case quickly spirals into something far messier, leaving Leery taking the hits while Dru gets dangerously distracted.

A dark urban fantasy thriller with a kidnapped werewolf detective, a city-wide conspiracy, and a rescue that risks everything. Someone stole a werewolf. It takes a lot to make a werewolf disappear…and it starts with a voice from the darkness and a bolt of lightning. When Dru Nogan drops by before work, she finds Detective Leery Oriscoe's apartment standing open, the doors scorched, and no sign of Leery anywhere. No body. No blood. Just enough destruction to make it clear somebody powerful came prepared. Forensic evidence points to a magister of significant power, but Leery isn't exactly an angel, and the suspect list is long. Worse still, not even Lucifer can locate him. That's a problem. Fortunately for Leery, Dru and the rest of his friends are highly motivated and only loosely concerned with rules, property damage, or the wellbeing of anyone standing in their way. Can Leery's troop of powerful friends fill the space left Where the Wild Things Aren't? Where the Wild Things Aren't is Book Ten in the Claw & Warder series, perfect for readers who love supernatural police procedurals, paranormal courtroom drama, sharp gallows humour, and urban fantasy in the vein of Jim Butcher and Ben Aaronovitch. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Claw & Warder series: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A coffee-addicted detective who's also a Hasidic werewolf.

Enter a hidden New York where magic runs beneath the surface and supernatural detectives keep the chaos in check. Two bodies. Both missing their arms. Leery's week is already getting worse. Leery Oriscoe is a grizzled detective with New York's Supernatural Inquisitors Squad and more experience with supernatural crimes than he'd like. His partner, Dru Nogan, is an expert spellslinger, dangerously unpredictable, and still far too comfortable around monsters. Faced with a pair of armless bodies and an unlikely duo of criminal masterminds - a Norwegian wood troll and an Unseelie operator - Leery knows exactly who to lean on to sort out the mess. There's only one hitch: the Zombie mafia. With the Zombie mafia's constant need for spare parts, is it any wonder the Locus of New York is full of Arms Dealers? Arms Dealers is Book Two in the Claw & Warder series, perfect for readers who love supernatural police procedurals, paranormal courtroom drama, sharp gallows humour, and urban fantasy in the vein of Jim Butcher and Ben Aaronovitch. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Claw & Warder series: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The characters are fun, interesting, and a little bit cheesy ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I can't decide whether my favorite is Leery or Dru ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Like visiting with old friends ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cops, coffee and corny jokes.
