SEEING THINGS, an urban fantasy novel. Book one of the Seabingen series. Smashwords. Kindle. Createspace (Paperback)
Coffee shop barista Kit Melbourne inherited a magic jewel to let her tell the humans from the glamour-disguised faeries, the Goth poseurs from the real vampires.

TREEMAKER, an urban fantasy novel. Book two of the Seabingen series. Smashwords. Kindle.
Something is wrong with Kit’s boyfriend, really wrong. Kit knows he’s under a curse, but no one seems to believe her or want to help her–except Fain, the sexy vampire with ulterior motives. When she’s not working inhuman hours making a fake forest for the creepy and mysterious Ms. Yseulta, Kit is busy gathering the ingredients to throw off the curse. The only trouble is, the last ingredient grows in the Realm of the Faerie, a place that probably doesn’t even exist. And time is running out…
DAYRUNNER, an urban fantasy novel. Book three of the Seabingen series. Smashwords. Kindle
Despite her broken heart, Kit has finally gotten her life under control. She’s got an exciting new job as Dayrunner to the Vampire Guild Leader. She has a new circle of friends, new teachers, and a boyfriend who can’t get enough of her.
She’s frustrated that every ward she makes falls apart when she’s not looking, and she hasn’t been able to keep her nosy friends from asking the wrong questions. However, she’s sure that once she convinces the human-hating Guild that she’s not really involved with the coup attempts against her boss, and once she figures out who keeps leaving death curses for her, and if she could just fall out of love with her ex-boyfriend, she’d have everything under control.
