The Charm City Darkness Series

The Charm City Darkness series takes place in Baltimore, and currently spans four novels and two short stories:

Novels:
Stoned in Charm City
A Favor for a Fiend
A Blue Collar Proposition, and,
In the Eye of the Beholder

Short Stories:
"Giving Hand," published in Hides the Dark Tower, and,
"Light, From Pure Digestion Bred," published in Occult Detective Quarterly, London, July 2017.

Two more novels, and several short stories, are planned.

The series follows Assumpta Mary-Margaret O'Connor--a young woman with a gift: the ability to find lost things. In the first book, Assumpta agrees to help a local archeologist find something he lost. And as the saying goes:  no good deed goes unpunished. Things take a downturn from there.

  • When the Voices in Your Head Wont Stop Talking
    Why did I write Stoned in Charm City -an urban fantasy with gargoyles (the "stone") and demons, about a young woman - Assumpta Mary-Margaret O'Conner -who found herself in the middle of a battle for good and evil in Baltimore (the "Charm City")? In short, because the voices in my head wouldn't stop. Her voice in my head wouldn't stop. Read the brief essay below, written shortly after I finished the finished the first Charm City Darkness novel, to explain why I tackled a contemporary genre outside of my literary wheelhouse.
