Keeper's Chronicles

Claire is a Keeper, charged with keeping the fabric of the metaphysical universe together, who inadvertently finds herself in charge of a Bed & Breakfast with a hole to Hell in the basement. There is often comic relief from her sidekick Austin, a large elderly talking cat and witch's familiar. Claire's love interest, Dean, is a mortal. Claire's sister, Diana, plays a large part in the books as well. In the second book, Diana acquires a familiar of her own—a talking cat, which was an angel until helped (by Diana) to reconfigure as a cat and which, like Austin, provides comic relief.

Blood Books

This series pairs a detective with a vampire. The first book introduces Vicki Nelson, a former police officer with failing eyesight due to Retinitis Pigmentosa and Henry Fitzroy, a vampire and writer of historical romances—which is natural for him as he was an illegitimate son of Henry VIII before he was seduced by a vampire. She is known to her police colleagues as "Victory Nelson" for her successful record of investigations; her mother calls her by her legal given name, "Victoria". Henry's protégé, Tony, is also introduced, as well as Vicki's hard-boiled former partner on the police force, Mike Celluci. Vicki's failing eyesight disqualified her from street work and she resigned rather than take a desk job, and, at the start of the first book, is working as a private detective. Together Vicki and Henry stand against a number of supernatural threats. The series is set in Toronto, Canada and uses familiar landmarks. This series was adapted for television under the title "Blood Ties" and aired on the Lifetime channel in the US.
