Stolen Magic

Stolen Magic

Someone is stealing magic from Chicago's witches and selling it to HUMANS.

When Elle Barnes, a witch working with the Supernatural Criminal Investigations team, wakes without her clairvoyance, SCI catches the case. Every victim loses one irreplaceable piece of herself. Across Chicago, humans are paying catastrophic prices for power they were never meant to hold.

How do you bring a mother to justice for trying to save her child?

SCI Investigator Jazmin Palau-Lucas follows the evidence, even when it leads somewhere she doesn't want to go. This time it leads to Kay Mercer, a witch who has stolen from her own kind to save her dying daughter. Kay is guilty. That was never the hard part.

How far would you go to save your child?

Since Sloane's rare magic was stolen, she has grown weaker by the day. The people behind the thefts are the only ones who can slow her decline, and they ration what she needs, charging Kay for every day she gets with her girl. Kay knows what her choices cost other witches. She also knows what happens to Sloane if she stops.

As SCI closes in and more witches lose the magic that makes them who they are, Jazmin has to decide what justice means here. And Kay has to decide how much of herself she will lose to keep her daughter alive.

Stolen Magic is Book 8 in the Supernatural Criminal Investigations series—a supernatural mystery of witchcraft, found family, and impossible choices with massive consequences.

Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews's Kate Daniels series, Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series, and Kim Harrison's The Hollows.

I live for writing, adventure, learning, chocolate, family, love, and really great musical theater (not necessarily in that order).

I've never been one to color inside the lines of life and that means my characters often don't either. I have a super soft spot for rebels who rise from the ashes of their circumstances. I've been the phoenix a time or two (or ten) in my life...been there, done that, got the tattoo. Seriously. I have a phoenix tattoo.

I love all kinds of stories but all types of Fantasy and Science Fiction are my faves. I love adventure and my biggest ones (so far) have been riding a motorcycle through Namibia and South Africa and hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (took my knees forEVER to recover from that one. As a life-long learner, I dig doing new things. I love helping other people learn, so my 20+ year career as an instructional designer helped me do that but FINALLY, I get to do what I've always dreamed of doing: Write for a living.

I have The Cutest Mini Goldendoodle on the planet, my buddy Indy (so named because I wanted to legitimately say "We named the DOG Indiana").

You should also know that I love helping other writers tell their stories, too. I'm an editor, book coach, and course creator of The WriteStormers Program, a resource and online community for writers who need to get unstuck in their stories (launching in 2022).
