Good Mourning, Darling

"Stuck. That's what Josephine Pajimula felt like. A burnout millennial on the verge of losing her housing, her roommate, and maybe even her best friend. It made perfect sense to go to a Halloween party, ignore her feelings, and spend the time searching for apartments instead. She hadn't expected meeting him. A man dressed in a vampire costume named Eadwulf, who just happened to take a tumble in front of her. Against her better judgment, Josephine is determined to make sure this stranger makes their way home safely. Alarm bells in her head be damned. Eadwulf is charming, silly and is supercommitted to whatever performance he's putting on. Despite herself, Josephine enjoys their conversation, even indulges in his claims that he's a vampire. Except, he isn't pretending. Unexpectedly, Josephine is offered a way out of her dilemma. All she has to do is become the nanny to Eadwulf's elderly granny roommate. That should be easy... right? Thrust into the spooky, quirky world of vampires, are things falling apart or falling into place?"--Back cover.

An Odd Blood Novel

Odd Blood

Can two monsters fall in love?

When Anastasya the Aweless had initially agreed to visit Myrtle Park Beach with her foolish roommate, she expected little. For starters, vampires and beaches rarely mixed well, let alone in the summer. But begrudgingly watching your friend fall for an unfavorable human was its own hell.

However, a chance encounter with an injured monster takes Ana by surprise. Mirla is smart, curious, and horrendously alluring with her rows of razor-sharp teeth and blackened eyes. Caught up in a summer romance, Ana never expected the depth of her feelings to grow so fast.

Can a vampire and a siren find common ground or are they destined to sink beneath the ocean?

Ocean Bleeds Salty

Was confessing your love for your vampire boss a mistake?

Josephine Pajimula supposed she would advise against it. Especially if you were wearing a cupcake sweater. The recently designated Drone survived the haunting of Rosalee Castle, but an unsettling revelation from Eadwulf presents Josephine with the possibility that she might not be so human after all.

Unfortunately, there’s little time to adjust to the recent development. When an invitation to the biggest vampire social event of the season arrives, Josephine is unprepared. Dress fittings, dance lessons, and vampire etiquette leave Josephine in a tailspin. Or perhaps the increasing tension with her vampire master is finally catching up with her.

But vampires are not the only monsters to contend with… After an alarming encounter with a mysterious monster, Josephine finds help in an unlikely ally. While not exactly thrilled, Josephine is eager to learn as much as she can about the secrets of her manifesting abilities.

Will Josephine solve the mystery of her newly discovered identity? What intrigue awaits at the Masquerade? Is Josephine ready for the next step in her relationship with Eadwulf, or will a social blunder ruin his reputation? And why has Mister Jaffe suddenly become so… weird?

Weird Blood is the third book in the Odd Blood series, featuring diverse characters and creative expletives. It is a hybrid romance with cozy horror elements and lots of dark comedy. Continuing the story of a newly discovered demisexual main character and her relationship with a himbo vampire, this tale finally breaks the no spice streak  

Weird Blood

A new normal?

Josephine Pajimula has settled into being a full time Thrall—a human nanny to an elderly vampire—and living with a bunch of dramatic but lovable vampires. Between introducing her undead roommates to new technology and balancing her human relationships, Josephine has her work cut out for her.

When mysterious supernatural events occur, the obvious culprit has to be Misha, the resident spirit… right? Maybe if Josephine wasn’t so distracted navigating her new relationship with Eadwulf, she could think more clearly. Having a vampire for a boss was one thing, but now he’s also her boyfriend!

Can Josephine figure out what’s causing the strange happenings in Rosalee Castle? What will she tell her family at the dinner table? Is “boyfriend” the best title for the guy who is also technically your “vampire master”? And more importantly… Shouldn’t this vampire bite have healed already?

Strange Blood is the second book in the Odd Blood series featuring diverse characters and creative expletives. A hybrid romance with cozy horror elements and lots of dark comedy.
