Weather Warden Series
ILL WIND (book 1)
Release date: December 2003
Joanne Baldwin is a Weather Warden. Usually all it takes is a
wave of her hand to tame the most violent weather. But now
Joanne is trying to outrun another kind of storm:
accusations of corruption and murder. So she's resorting to
the very human tactic of running for her life ...
Her only hope is Lewis, the most powerful Warden of them all.
Unfortunately, he's also on the run from the World Council.
It seems he's stolen not one but three bottles of Djinn -- making him
the most wanted man on earth. And without Lewis, Joanne's
chances of surviving are as good as a snowball in -- well, a place she
may soon be headed. So she and her classic Mustang are racing
hard to find him because there's some bad weather closing in fast ...
HEAT STROKE (book 2)
Release date: August 2004
Joanne's survived one challenge ... technically ... but she's got a
whole new set of problems. With the help of a hot
supernatural lover, her chances of surviving look bright -- until
things go wrong. There's trouble coming, and it's not
confined to River City ... or to the Wardens. No, this
trouble could kill every Djinn on the planet -- and unleash a storm
that could send humanity to join them.
Armed with keen fashion sense, lime green Manolo Blahniks and a really
fast car, Joanne prepares to do battle with the enemy.
Just one problem ... it may be Joanne herself.
CHILL FACTOR (book 3)
Release date: January 2005
Living, dead, or Djinn, Joanne Baldwin just can't stay out of
trouble. Now she's on a time-sensitive mission to Vegas to
retrieve the world's most important Djinn from the world's most
dangerous teenager ... all alone. That's bad enough, but
having to deal with a past that's determined to bury her, and suffering
from serious wardrobe shortages ... well, that's over the
line.
One thing's for certain: she's gambling everything this time.
WINDFALL (book 4)
Release date: November 2005
You think you're having a bad day? Joanne's lost her job as a Weather
Warden, and saving the world generally doesn't come with a decent
retirement check. It also doesn't come with any guarantees of landing a
day job that won't suck, or being able to find a mystical cure for her
critically ill Djinn lover. Burdened with a difficult sister in need of
rescue, accused of weather-related murder, and finding herself in the
middle of a Djinn civil war ... well, Joanne's bad times are just
getting worse.
With enemies approaching from all sides, not to mention mounting credit
card bills (Manolo Blahniks don't come cheap!), Joanne is praying for a
windfall ... but the mother of all hurricanes approaching the Florida
coast isn't exactly what she has in mind.

DEVIL'S BARGAIN
Release date: August 2005
Jasmine "Jazz" Callender is on the downhill slide to ruin.
Once a decorated homicide detective, she's lost it all: her
former partner's been convicted of murder, she's been cashiered out,
and she's drinking away what little self-respect she's got left.
But Jazz has a talent for trouble, and somebody knows it.
When a mysterious, sexy stranger comes looking for her with a fateful
red envelope in his hand, she's about to make the deal of her life ...
for good or bad.
The deal requires her to enter into a partnership with a stranger and
investigate cases that arrive in special red envelopes ... which is odd
enough, but gets weirder as she and her new partner Lucia realize that
they may be working for someone with supernatural abilities.
And maybe they're not on the side of the angels anymore.
DEVIL'S DUE (sequel to DEVIL'S BARGAIN)
Release date: January 2006
Everything you do matters.
Lucia Garza opened a detective agency with Jazz Callender, and
discovered a whole new, eerie world of precognition, coincidence, and
chaos. There's a chance that Lucia and Jazz can escape their
fate, but it's risky. They need people they can trust ... but
can Lucia trust Jazz's old partner, Ben McCarthy? Or is he
working for the other side?
Worse ... is their side really the right one?
