Ventures in Vermilion (Book 1)
What readers are saying…
“…a unique and engaging re-imaging of Sherlock Holmes. I was hooked from the start…”
“Captivating from beginning to end.”
Wanted: a secretary. Must not be put off by the occasional dead body. Inquire with Mr. Istovir Holviiryn at 221B Baker Street. Salary at standard Guild rates. Lodging included.
Gnome ex-healer Seraphina “Wiz” Wistozus has only a few weeks to prove to the Adventurers Guild that she can still pay back the gold she owes them, despite the disastrous mission—her first and only—that ruined her health and magic. The Guild isn’t forgiving when it comes to matters of nonpayment, and her very freedom is at stake.
The problem is, there aren’t a lot of career opportunities for a mage healer who can no longer heal. So when a friend brings her an advertisement for a secretarial position, she’s determined to try her luck, no matter how strange the ad is. Or the work itself. Or Istovir Holviiryn, a night elf whose incredible detective skills are more than a little disconcerting.
Wiz’s life as a Guild mage healer was over almost before it began. Now she must adjust to her new situation, and fast, because this job isn’t just her best option. It’s her only option.
A Goose of Gold (Book 1.5)
What readers are saying…
“It's a cozy, lovely Christmas mystery novella, and it was the absolute perfect binge read with a warm cuddly blanket and a cup of tea.”
“I loved how the mystery was woven through this slice of life story as our main characters were preparing for their first winter solstice together.”
Winter Solstice, the most important holiday of the year, is rapidly approaching, and Seraphina Wistozus—Wiz to her friends—has a lot to do. There are criminal cases to wrap up, clients to appease, last-minute visitors to prepare for, and gifts to consider.
Not to mention that all these tasks would be much easier to accomplish if her employer, one Istovir Holviiryn, didn’t keep getting distracted by news of a jewel theft that has nothing to do with them.
Can Wiz juggle all these tasks, keep her employer reined in, and maybe even have a festive Solstice herself?
Stakes of Silver (Book 2)
What readers are saying…
“This latest Wiz and Hollow adventure is the best one yet.”
“If you like Sherlock Holmes and found family, I cannot recommend this series enough.”
Things are going well for Seraphina “Wiz” Wistozus—ex-healer, ex-adventurer, ex-magic user. She’s starting to feel like she’s settling into her new life as secretary assistant to Istovir Holviiryn, a gifted if strange consulting detective. She has her job, her friends, and enough coin for both her wants and needs.
But the past doesn’t always stay in the past, and suddenly Wiz finds herself with hard choices to make, where her choices just might risk everything she’s come to love about her new life.
Including her life itself.
