Meet Eden Fury.
Welcome to Chipping Cheddar, where supernaturals are hidden in plain sight…
Annoying but loving family? Check.
Picturesque small town with a hot police chief? Check.
A rescue hellhound, a black cat with attitude, and a pet python that thinks he’s a puppy? Triple check.
My story has all the hallmarks of a sweet and cozy supernatural tale, but there’s a twist—
I am evil.
Well, I’m supposed to be evil thanks to both nature and nurture, but I fight it with every fiber of my being. I just want to live a normal life. I even joined the FBI instead of the Federal Bureau of Magic, until my powers reared their ugly head and the agency sent me packing back to my hometown to fight magical crimes instead.
Now I’m back in Chipping Cheddar, living with my evil family, with a new job and all my old baggage.
Oh, and there’s a dead body, which was definitely not an accident.
So there you have it. Welcome to my world.

Book 3
Welcome to Chipping Cheddar, where supernaturals are hidden in plain sight
I'm less than thrilled when the Federal Bureau of Magic sends a training instructor to make sure my skills are up to snuff. Agent Quinn Redmond is an uptight fae with a rigid approach to rules and regulations that even a do-gooder like me finds stifling. When an eerie fog settles over the town, residents begin acting out in response, resulting in overtime hours for Chief Fox and local law enforcement. Things take a deadly turn when one of the residents ends up dead and I worry his death is only the beginning.
Will I manage to shine a light on the situation or is the whole town destined to remain in a fog?
Book 4
Welcome to Chipping Cheddar, where supernaturals are hidden in plain sight
Residents are sneezing and coughing all over town and it seems like a brutal allergy season is upon us–until someone dies. When Dr. Verity reveals a supernatural cause, I'm on the case, but how do I track a culprit whose only evidence seems to be the infection it leaves behind? In the meantime, neighbors new and old bring trouble to Munster Close and I need to intervene before the wicked witches escalate matters. With the annual cheese festival on the horizon and a stealthy demon on the loose, I know I'll need to set aside my misgivings and use my magic to prevent a catastrophe.
Can I stop this outbreak before it becomes a full-fledged epidemic or will the entire town succumb to the deadly demon?
Book 5
There's been a discovery of demons.
Again.
The appearance of a strange plant on the Taskers' farm sends Neville and I straight to the Federal Bureau of Magic database, where we discover that deadly demons are snatching bodies all over town. Meanwhile, with the Day of Darkness looming on the calendar, family tensions abound and I'm reminded once again that I'm the white sheep of this black magic family.
Can I put a stop to the Stepford invasion before it's too late or will the demons take up residence in their hosts–permanently?
Book 6
I've finally taken a big step in my personal life when my professional life heats up with a spate of behavioral issues that seem unrelated. When some of the issues become life-threatening, I know that time is running out, but I'm no closer to identifying the root cause.
Can I put out another supernatural fire before it spreads or am I doomed to watch the town go up in flames?
Book 7
When Chief Fox turns into an animal during a moment of passion–and I mean that literally–I'm desperate to restore him to his human form. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue how to make it happen. It doesn't help that I'm trying to hide my relationship with him. Let's face it, keeping a secret from my family is like walking a tightrope made of vipers. With Deputy Guthrie in charge of law enforcement and the chief unable to do anything except look adorable, my hands are full trying to keep the chief's secret and solve this supernatural puzzle.
Can I restore Chief Fox to his human form in time or will he be doomed to live the rest of his life in the forest with the rest of the woodland creatures?
Book 8
When an artist in Chipping Cheddar disappears under mysterious circumstances, Chief Fox enlists my help to solve the case. An inspection of the artist's most recent paintings reveals there's magic at work and I have to get in touch with my inner Rembrandt in order to access it. Meanwhile, life takes a sharp turn for frenemy Sassy Persimmons and I find myself in the unexpected position of offering her comfort while offering my evil family a piece of my mind.
Can I locate the missing artist before it's too late or will we both be out of the picture–permanently?
Book 9
Welcome to Chipping Cheddar, where supernaturals are hidden in plain sight…
…Well, maybe not all supernaturals. I tend to avoid using my fury traits, but when I reluctantly use my power of invisibility and then can't undo it, I don't know whether the gods are punishing me–or someone else is. At first my condition isn't so bad. I can play well-deserved pranks on my family and aid Chief Fox as a silent observer in town. As time passes, however, it becomes clear that the longer I'm sight unseen, the more clear and present danger I'm in.
Can I find my way back to corporeal form or am I destined to become a ghost of my former self for eternity?
Book 11
Book 12
Book 13
Welcome to Chipping Cheddar where supernaturals are hidden in plain sight.
I’ve had enough.
I’ve been at odds with my family for as long as I can remember.
And I’ve been at odds with myself.
Light and dark. White and black. Good and evil.
To hell with the scales of justice, my mother and Grandma deserved what they got for the recent wrong done to my beloved Chief Fox. If that means finally embracing the fury within, then so be it. Except then I'm no better than they are.
Meanwhile, there’s a new supernatural threat in town, but I’m too preoccupied to put on my badge and get to work, prompting a concerned friend to enlist the aid of Hex Support, a secret division of the FBM. This demon has killed before, and it will kill again if we don't stop it. I need to hide my secrets from Agent Kit Fairfield--or do I?
If I’m going down, at least it’ll be in a blaze of glory.
