About the Author

Detectives and aliens are two of my favorite subjects in fiction, but rarely seen together in a modern-day format. It’s taken some time to get my imaginary friend from my head to paper. I believe this combination of characters makes for intriguing and entertaining reading. This series focuses on the relationship between featuring Mark Daniels, a police detective seeking to reclaim his life after a series of tragedies, and Julie Warren, his mysterious new tenant. She’s an immoral with the ability to kill with a thought, and an addiction to chocolate, coming to Earth in the hopes of reclaiming her humanity before the planet learns of her true nature.
