Jane Butterworth doesn’t believe in normal, but then she used to be a vampire, and she works at a paranormal investigation agency. Oh, and she’s a boy. When a name from her past suddenly surfaces, Jane knows that she is the only one that could solve the case. With the detectives unavailable, and a tearfully desperate client, there is no choice but to pretend she knows what she is doing and answer the cry for help

Tempest Michaels is going undercover with best friend Big Ben to find out why his dad was found unconscious and stuffed into a wheelie bin. There is no client this time, just a definite need to find someone worthy of a jolly good punch in the pants. With strange noises coming through the floor of the rigging room and reports of ghosts seen at night wearing the uniform of 18th-century Royal Navy officers, the chaps set out to unravel the mystery, but is there more going on than a simple fake haunting?

Targeted by underworld boss, the Godmother, for inadvertently interfering with their operations around the world, Patricia Fisher is trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse which can have only one outcome - someone is going to lose. The deck is stacked heavily in the Godmother’s favour, but will her supreme confidence create an opening? Patricia and friends have nowhere left to run and everything to do if they are to expose the hidden organisation and topple the Godmother’s powerbase.

Amid glistening icebergs and chill winds, the Aurelia sails from Newfoundland to Iceland. It's a beautiful setting...for revenge. Patricia and friends are back on the ship with a few new faces alongside the old. It ought to be cause for celebration but the Aurelia is suffering a series of mishaps and the captain, devilishly handsome Alistair Huntley, suspects sabotage is to blame. But who is the saboteur? What would motivate a person to damage a ship in frigid waters and what might that person do next?

Jane is missing. Taken by a serial killed known only as the Sandman, Tempest and friends must unravel the clues to find her before night falls. Why so soon? Because that is when he kills his victims, bringing them dreams as he sings them to sleep, just like in the song. The police won’t even acknowledge the serial killer exists which leaves them on their own, sifting through Jane’s notes and piecing together fractured clues and half-baked theories in a desperate scramble to find the man at the core of this mystery. However, the Sandman wants to be found.

A woman whose dead husband is haunting her? That sounds like a routine case. Until she reveals her husband’s name...and a past event Tempest wants to forget comes back to haunt him. Taking a case he doesn’t want, it's only hours before he finds a threat on his doorstep.

When two bikers are found half-eaten, the coroner’s report records an animal attack. But England doesn’t have any large predators. Unless you count werewolves. Tempest Michaels, paranormal detective, gets hired by the dead bikers’ gang to find out what happened and point the finger at a new rival motorcycle club in the next town. Calling themselves the Herne Bay Howlers, they proudly display a werewolf on their jackets, and they are far from your average Hell’s Angels.

When an old school friend begs for her help, Patricia takes on a case more suited to her friend Tempest Michaels - a criminal dubbed "the Banshee" is attacking people in their homes and paralyzing them with its scream. The police believe it is a burglar with a unique twist, but Tempest seems to know differently. The two teams join forces again, but this case will test them to their limits.

In the small Bedfordshire town of Biggleswade, retired detective Albert, and former police dog, Rex, are enjoying a peaceful break from the murder and mayhem of the last week. Until the waitress serving him is arrested for murder....

When a famous artist boards the Aurelia, no one expects his work to be interrupted by a death, especially when the victim is the artist’s muse who seemed vibrant and full of life just hours before. The official verdict is suicide, but that doesn’t sit well with our famous sleuth and all too soon, she is poking her nose where someone doesn’t want it.

My name's Jane Butterworth. For me, the paranormal is just a day job. I work at the Blue Moon Investigation Agency, a firm that specialises in cases that no one else will take, cases that start at strange and unexplainable and tier rapidly south from there.

Called to investigate a mystery at a local gypsum mine, paranormal detective Tempest Michaels expects to find a rational explanation for the strange events.... Instead, he discovers a body and a horrified staff. Recent earthworks exposed something ancient, twisted, and above all evil. It has claimed one life already, and the staff is terrified for who might be next.

Fire. Every creature fears it. Except one. When a call late one evening leads Jane to Buckingham Palace, she holds no concern the dragon they want her to investigate is real. Until she gets there, that is.

It’s the day of the wedding, and the bride’s little dog has gone missing. Champagne, her champion Pomeranian, is to be the ring bearer, and she will not get married without him.

'Twas the day before Christmas and Michael Michaels is about to upset his wife. Recent adventures with his son, Tempest, have piqued his need for a little more action in his life...but when he finds himself facing off against a giant ghoul a few hours later, he begins to think he should have listened to Mary and stayed at home.

She spent a fortune on the dress. It would have been cheaper to buy unicorn horn, but before she can even put it on, a scream splits the air...and the first body is found. Patricia and her friends are the special guests of the world’s third richest man, her benefactor, the Maharaja of Zangrabar. At a banquet thrown to celebrate a new peace treaty between his country, and long-time hostile neighbour, Itarnia, the murder of Itarnia’s ambassador does not bode well. To prevent a return to war, Patricia and her team must unravel the clues to find the killer.
