Joanne Walker has survived an encounter with the Master at great personal cost, but now her father is missing – stolen from the timeline. She must finally return to North Carolina to find him – and to meet Aidan, the son she left behind long ago.That would be enough for any shaman to face, but Joanne's beloved Appalachians are being torn apart by an evil reaching forward from the distant past. Anything that gets in its way becomes tainted – or worse.And Aidan has gotten in the way.Only by calling on every aspect of her shamanic powers can Joanne pull the past apart and weave a better future.It will take everything she has – and more. Unless she can turn back time…

Mountain Echoes

Joanne Walker has three days to learn to use her shamanic powers and save the world from the unleashed Wild Hunt. No worries. No pressure.Never mind the lack of sleep, the perplexing new talent for healing herself from fatal wounds, or the cryptic, talking coyote who appears in her dreams. And if all that's not bad enough, in the three years Joanne's been a cop, she's never seen a dead body–but she's just come across her second in three days. It's been a bitch of a week. And it isn't over yet.

Urban Shaman

War has erupted among the five Old Races, and Margrit is responsible for the death that caused it. Now New York City's most unusual lawyer finds herself facing her toughest negotiation yet. And with her gargoyle lover, Alban, taken prisoner, Margrit's only allies–a dragon bitter about his fall, a vampire determined to hold his standing at any cost and a mortal detective with no idea what he's up against–have demands of their own.Determined to rescue Alban and torn between conflicting loyalties as the battle seeps into the human world, Margrit soon realizes the only way out is through the fire. . . .

Hands of Flame

For once, Joanne Walker's not out to save the world. She's come to terms with the host of shamanic powers she's been given, her job as a police detective has been relatively calm, and she's got a love life for the first time in memory. Not bad for a woman who started out the year mostly dead. But it's Halloween, and the undead have just crashed Joanne's party.Now, with her mentor Coyote still missing, she has to figure out how to break the spell that has let the ghosts, zombies and even the Wild Hunt come back. Unfortunately, there's no shamanic handbook explaining how to deal with the walking dead. And if they have anything to say about it–which they do –no one's getting out of there alive.

Walking Dead

Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings–not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands.Her logical, lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real–but she could hardly deny what she'd seen. . . and touched. The mystery man, Alban, was a gargoyle. One of the fabled Old Races who had hidden their existence for centuries.Now he was a murder suspect, and he needed Margrit's help to take the heat off him and find the real killer. And as the dead pile up, it's a race against the sunrise to clear Alban's name and keep them both alive. . . .

Heart of Stone

For Seattle detective Joanne Walker, spring is about new beginnings: She’s mastered her shamanic abilities (mostly); survived a cannibalistic serial killer (barely); and now she’s facing the biggest challenge of her career–attending a dance concert with her sexy boss, Captain Michael Morrison.But when the performance–billed as transformative–actually changes her into a coyote, she and Morrison have bigger things to deal with…. And there's more. Homeless people are disappearing, a mystical murder puts Joanne way out of her jurisdiction and with the full moon coming on, it's looking like the killer is a creature that can't possibly exist.But Jo could probably handle all of that, if one ordinary homicide hadn't pushed her to the very edge…. Cop or shaman? The choice isn't easy. But it's one she just might have to make….

Spirit Dances

New York City's only legal counsel to the fabled Old Races, Margrit Knight is levelheaded in all matters extraordinary.But when she's summoned to negotiate a peace treaty among rival factions, her own mortal world threatens to fall apart. Margrit's been in hot water before, but reentering the underworld brings a new set of problems. And a new set of friends and enemies, including a ruthless vampire mobster, a dragonlord who won't take no for an answer, a band of subversive selkies. . . oh, and Alban Korund, the sexy gargoyle who got her into this mess–and whose granite-strong touch still haunts her every fantasy. . .

House of Cards

Because the woman Joanne has come to Ireland to rescue is the woman who sacrificed everything for Joanne —the woman who died a year ago.Now, through a slip in time, she’s in thrall to a dark power and Joanne must battle darkness, time and the gods themselves to save her.

This next case is way out of her jurisdiction… Seattle police detective Joanne Walker started the year out mostly dead, and she’s ending it trying not to be consumed by evil. Literally.

What’s worse, the brutal demon leaves no tracks.So, if Joanne is to stop its campaign of terror, she’ll have to hunt it where it lives: the Lower World, a shamanistic plane of magic and spirits.
