I’ve avoided the magic on the this side of the Veil, staying within the realm of the nonmagical while training as an ER doctor. It’s a way of hiding my dark magic from the mage council. If they discover my type of magic, the chances are good they’ll burn it out of me, and in doing so, destroy my mind. Everything changes when I make the mistake of saving a sexy knight of the mage council from a magical attack. Not only am I revealed to the council, but when a high-ranking member of the council is poisoned, and no magical treatment is effective, I’m called upon to figure out what happened—and how to save him. Now I’m caught up in a magical plot beyond my abilities. Survival requires I use the dark magic flowing within me, but can I do it and avoid detection? And can I learn why my magic is so different than others with dark magic? I’m used to living on the edge of the magical world, but when I’m thrust into the heart of it, I need to use my training to protect me, or I’ll lose everything I’ve worked for. Flatline is a fast-paced fantasy mystery with a mixture of medicine and magic that will leave you breathless. less

The magical world calls to me but I want nothing more than to heal. Working in the ER gives me a chance to help people while hiding from the magical world. It’s a place where few magical folk ever visit, and never by choice. When a patient comes into the ER with a magical injury, I’m forced to use my magic to heal, but doing so draws the wrong kind of attention to me. This time, I doubt Aron can help, especially since I know my type of magic isn’t dark magic at all. It’s worse. Much worse... moreThe magical world calls to me but I want nothing more than to heal.

Postmortem is a fast-paced fantasy mystery with a mixture of medicine and magic that will leave you breathless. less

An ancient and deadly magic comes calling in my ER. I’ve managed to stay under the radar as I continue my ER residency. All I need is to finish it out and I can get away from Minneapolis and the magic all around me. For so long, that was what I wanted. And still do… even if I can’t help it as magic begins to creep into my work... moreAn ancient and deadly magic comes calling in my ER. I’ve managed to stay under the radar as I continue my ER residency. All I need is to finish it out and I can get away from Minneapolis and the magic all around me. For so long, that was what I wanted. And still do… even if I can’t help it as magic begins to creep into my work. When an injured shifter shows up in my ER with my name on him, I have no choice but to try and understand why, but doing so risks exposing my magical side to the one place I wanted to conceal it from. Partnering with Aron leads to a discovery in the north woods that I alone think will impact magic in the city. When the mage council refuses to get involved with shifter business, I lean on a different sort of ally, but even that might not be enough to save us. The magic attacking is like nothing I’ve faced before. This time, the Veil can’t protect us. A search for answers yields only more questions. And as the attacks progress, I need to figure out what sort of magic I have to stop the threat—or I’ll be the next victim. Malignant Magic is a fast-paced fantasy mystery with a mixture of medicine and magic that will keep you reading late into the night. less

While on a surgery rotation, my use of magic reveals a dangerous new threat and a type of magic I had not known about before, making me a target. Exhausted from my current rotation, sleep deprived from call, I have to hold it together while chasing down information about my patient and the magical attack... moreOnly my combination of magic and medicine can save me.

Both medicine and magic failed to save Aron. I intend to change that. I’ve feared my magic my entire life, knowing my mother had chased dangerous magic before her death. I’ve never been able to look into how—or why—she died. Until now. I have a name. While struggling to help Aron, I use my new allies to search for information about the person who might be responsible for my mother’s death... moreBoth medicine and magic failed to save Aron.

I have a name. While struggling to help Aron, I use my new allies to search for information about the person who might be responsible for my mother’s death. With the appearance of a new mage and abilities far beyond anything I’ve ever encountered, I’m forced to abandon that search and find some way of stopping power that taps into the magic on the other side of the Veil. Only—how can I stop a power that calls to me? I’m close to understanding what I am, but this mage stands in my way. I intend to stop her… or die trying. less

I’ve hidden from my magic long enough. After my mother’s return, I understand that she is responsible for the strange attacks that have taken place ever since I became embroiled in the magical world. My grandparents think they can save her, but I’m not as certain. When she summons those with power to her cell, I’m the only one who sees the danger in agreeing to her terms. Dragged deeper into the magical world, I find that there is a greater plot afoot than only my mother... moreI’ve hidden from my magic long enough.

Dragged deeper into the magical world, I find that there is a greater plot afoot than only my mother. Someone has been guiding and teaching her, granting her access to power that no mage should have. Understanding who that is will take me to a place I never wanted to go—the other side of the Veil. In order to end the attacks on the Veil and survive, I need to understand just what I am, but the power that I’ve avoided my entire life until now just might destroy me first. less
