Nothing's More Embarassing Than Malfunctioning Magic

About Me

In my childhood days, I didn't know anything about copyright laws and regularly pilfered famous characters for my stories. Taking fan fiction to new extremes, I once turned Han Solo into an NFL quarterback who married a supermodel.

After a lot of years of writing for fun, I decided to write for fun and profit. In 2007, my literary agent sold a humorous urban fantasy called WOULD-BE WITCH and its sequel to the Berkley Publishing Group. Unfortunately, neither Han Solo nor any supermodels appear in the books, but I hope the characters I created from scratch will entertain readers anyway.

In the small town of Duvall, Texas, the only thing more troublesome than gossip — is magic.

The family magic seems to have skipped Tammy Jo Trask. All she gets in the way of the supernatural are a few untimely visits from the long dead, smart-mouthed family ghost, Edie. But when her locket—an heirloom that happens to hold Edie's soul—is stolen in the midst of a town-wide crime spree, it's time for Tammy to find her inner witch.

After a few experiences in dysfunctional magic, Tammy turns to the only one who can help; the very rich and highly magical, Bryn Lyons. He might have all the answers-and a 007 savoir faire to boot-but the locket isn't the only heirloom passed down in Tammy's family. She also inherited a warning...to stay away from anyone named Lyons.
