THE STARBUCK
CHRONICLES, BOOK #1
Release May 16, 2014
Series Overview
The fine thread between reality and the fantastical has snapped. The mortal and
supernatural must learn to co-exist in post-reality Minneapolis/St. Paul where
video games leak monsters into the night, demons roam, thirsting for more than
just blood, people are not who or what they seem and a diabolical evil plots
and plans to devour the world.
AfterLife
Lily Starbuck’s day doesn’t start well with blood on the horizon
and a grumpy werewolf who refuses to pay his catering bill. Her day only gets
worse when she finds out that her business partner in their catering company
has embezzled all their available cash.
Lily can get no answers from her partner when she finds her
dead. That’s the least of her worries—her landlord is evicting her, she’s being
hounded by the Fairy Dust Administration (FDA) who suspects that her partner
was dealing in illegal dust, and Lily’s pissed off their werewolf supplier.
With Lily’s very livelihood in jeopardy, she has no choice but
to discover who killed her partner and try to track down the cash. She has only
Spocko, a small, wizened gnome with just a bit of gremlin blood in him that
makes him cantankerous at best to depend on, but he often goes invisible on
her. Clues lead her to an open case being investigated by
Otherworld Security (O.S.) and the tough O.S. Warden, shapeshifter, Tam
Darkwood. And, at the outset of the investigation, a tiny, mythical
fire-breathing, red dragon joins her as her trusty (and opinionated) sidekick,
Kindle.
It seems a rogue mage has created a video game that is unwarded
and game monsters are being released to terrorize the citizens of the Twin
Cities. Trouble is Lily has reason to believe that this mage killed her
partner.
The investigation takes an unexpected turn when they are led to
influential and powerful Archmage Tarquin Wilding and somehow Lily
finds herself embroiled in a sinister shadow Fae plot. With her friends at
her side, she tackles dangerous and unpredictable supernaturals and monsters
with an “all in a day’s work” attitude.
