The Riga Hayworth Series
The
Metaphysical Detective,
Book 1
When Riga Hayworth finds her new client,
Helen Baro, dead, she smells a set up of metaphysical proportions. Now, to find a killer, Riga must travel from
San Francisco to the underworld – and make it back alive…
Riga’s parents named her for silver
screen goddess, Rita Hayworth, but they had no idea she’d grow up to be a dead
ringer for the actress. It’s just one of
the many oddities that Riga’s had to learn to live with – along with blacking out
streetlights and dealing with wisecracking ghosts.
Riga’s client, Helen, believes her
husband is trying to kill her. One
problem: Helen’s husband is dead. Riga isn’t sure what to think. Is Helen mad?
Is someone else trying to harm the woman? Or is this really a case of attempted murder
from beyond the grave? But then Helen is
found dead, leaving a strange haiku and Tarot for a clue, and Riga is hurtled
into an investigation that threatens the detective and those she loves.

The
Alchemical Detective,
Book 2
A psychic has been murdered in an occult
ceremony and the police pay a visit to Riga Hayworth, metaphysical
detective. But this time, she’s not a
consultant on the case, she’s a suspect.
There’s a storm on the horizon. Riga’s lost her magic, and has come to Lake
Tahoe to recover and spend quality time with her new love. But life for Riga is never that simple. A psychic’s been murdered, and the police
believe Riga has a connection to the crime.
They’re right. And if that’s not
enough, Riga is drafted as the host of a reality TV show about the local lake
monster, and her niece is rejecting her metaphysical abilities. Juggling demons, daimons, and angry tarot
card readers, Riga must catch a killer before she becomes the next target.
The Alchemical Detective is a paranormal
mystery that explores a world of alchemy and the imagination.

Book 3
When Riga Hayworth’s lover is arrested,
she’s determined to unearth the truth, no matter the cost. But life – and
death – get in the way.
All Riga wants is to clear the
name of her almost-fiancée, Donovan Mosse. But a death faerie has other plans
for her, and Riga is forced to protect a shaman with a house full of murderous
relatives. The only way to stop this
killer is to figure out who he, or she, is before the next strike. As the two cases become entangled, Riga must
choose between facts and faith, and decide just how far she’s willing to go for
love.

The
Infernal Detective,
Book 4
Murder. The undead. Irritating relatives.
When Riga Hayworth finds a dead body in the bedroom, it’s
par for the course. When the corpse drives off with her fiancée… That’s a
problem.
Riga knows dead. More intimately than she’d like. So when a
murdered photographer walks away from her pre-wedding party, she believes
there’s necromancy afoot. And when she discovers that several of her wedding
guests are under the influence of dark magic, she’s certain. But how can she
catch a killer and stop a necromancer when even her nearest and dearest are
lying to her?
Marrying romance, mystery, and the metaphysical, The
Infernal Detective is a fast-paced urban fantasy, where nothing is quite as it
seems, and magic lies just beyond the veil.
“A high-voltage, cleverly-spun mystery that I
couldn't put down. Riga Hayworth is addictive.”
Diana Orgain, Best-selling author of The
Maternal Instincts Mysteries

nature? Or will they destroy her and everyone she loves?

THIS OR THAT
Paperback or E-book? Ebook! I never thought I’d get to the point
where I actually prefer electronic to paper, but my shelves are just too
cluttered.
Read a book once/Re read books more than
once? If it’s a great book, I’ll read it more than once.
Books or Movies? Books. I keep intending
to go to movies, and then never doing it.
Action, Drama, Mystery, Romance?
Mystery! With action, drama and
romance.
Morning or Evening? I hate waking up,
but morning is when I’m most creative. Recently I read that the human brain is
most creative in the morning – probably something about still being in touch
with the unconscious sleep mind. So morning.
Early Nights or Late Nights? Early. I’m
a bit boring when it comes to nightlife. Though I will stay up all hours if
I’ve got a good book.
Optimist or Pessimist? Optimist, which
means I’m frequently disappointed.
Coffee or Tea? Tea. I never acquired a
taste for coffee.
Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter?
Autumn. I’m a huge Halloween fan, and I love the feel of that season, with the
turning leaves and Christmas right around the corner.
Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate or White
Chocolate? Milk chocolate. I’ve got a sweet tooth and am a card carrying
chocoholic.
Mild Cheeses, Medium Cheeses or Strong
Cheeses? Strong is my favorite, but I’m a big cheese fan too, so I won’t turn
my nose up at a brie.
Flat Heeled Shoes, Medium Heeled Shoes
or High Heeled Shoes? Flats. You need to train for high-heeled shoes, and I
never got around to it.
Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes or Green Eyes?
Green eyes, definitely.
Long Hair or Short Hair? I like wearing
long hair, because it’s so versatile. Just twist it into a bun on a warm day,
or leave it down.
Bitten Nails, Natural Nails, or Nail
Enhancements (ie false nails) ? Natural. It’s hard to type with long nails.
Wine, Beer, Soft Drink? Wine. I’m lucky
enough to live near wine country and have lots of fun wine tasting.
