Meet the Monsters

They're not hiding anymore. Here's who you'll find in these pages.

Vampires — fangs and blood0
Vampires Undead
→
Centuries old, legally integrated, and technically not alive since before your great-grandparents were born. They run billion-dollar empires, solve crimes for the Sacramento PD, and drink from insulated delivery bags. They've traded coffins for corner offices — but the fangs still come out when it matters.
Found in: Paranormal Crimes Unit · Bite Me, Billionaire
Zombie in a suit holding file folders
Zombies Undead
→
No, they don't want your brains. Sacramento's zombies work in records management, wait tables at supernatural bars, and wear buttons that announce their deadness with pride. They shuffle. They own it. They're protected under the Americans with Deathabilities Act. And yes, they can projectile vomit when agitated.
Found in: Paranormal Crimes Unit · Beautifully Dead
Ghost in a police evidence room
Ghosts & Spirits Incorporeal
→
Some are cops with performance anxiety who short out the lights in the elevator. Others are victims of botched vampire transformations — trapped between human death and supernatural rebirth, unable to speak, unable to move on. They appear in evidence rooms, pointing at financial documents. Screaming.
Found in: Paranormal Crimes Unit
Giant mutant rat and pups in underground corridor
Giant Killer Rats Mutant
→
One cloning experiment gone wrong turned a regular rat into a dog-sized monster with teeth that snap like a bear trap. Then it had pups. Up to twenty-two of them — hairless, shriveled, and very eager to earn the "killer" part of their name. They hunt in the dark. And in a sealed underground missile complex, it's always dark.
Found in: Post-Apocalyptic Joe in a Cinematic Wasteland
Werewolf pack in a city street
Werewolves Alive-ish
→
Technically alive, but with a monthly transformation that requires "mandatory transformation safety equipment" delivered to the station loading dock every full moon. They need extra-wide parking spots, drink wolfsbane whiskey because nothing else gives them a buzz, and when pack members get hurt, they don't call lawyers — they call the hunt.
Found in: Paranormal Crimes Unit
Trevor the troll bouncer extending a handshake
Trolls Alive
→
Seven feet tall, skin like granite, and polite enough to shake your hand gently because they know they could crush it. They run the freeway construction union and feed on human anger — which explains why every Sacramento freeway is permanently under construction. Traffic has reached LA levels. This is by design.
Found in: Paranormal Crimes Unit
Two witches changing the color of their drinks with magic
Witches & Sirens Supernatural
→
The witches change the color of their drinks with a wave of their hand, casually, like it's nothing. The siren on stage sings and the entire bar turns — not because they want to, but because they physically cannot look away. She dedicated a cover of "Stayin' Alive" to the PCU team. Ironic. Or brilliant.
Found in: Paranormal Crimes Unit
Close-up of a mouth with red lipstick, sharp fangs, and a drop of blood dripping from the corner of the lips.
A woman with dark lipstick and a drop of blood on her lips smiles at night, with a city skyline and full moon blurred in the background.

Union soldiers restrain a wounded man on a cot in a Civil War-era field hospital tent, while a medic, acting like a filmmaker documenting the scene, reads from a book; injured men are visible outside.

Beautifully Dead

A love story with zombies. Set during the Civil War.

A Union Army chaplain. A Southern belle. A forbidden correspondence across Civil War battle lines. And a mysterious affliction spreading through Confederate hospitals that turns the living into something neither dead nor alive. Beautifully Dead is a Gothic epistolary paranormal romance told through letters, journals, and the research notes of a modern-day historian who discovers her ancestor’s impossible love story—and realizes the affliction from the 1860s isn’t just history. It’s happening again. In the present day.

Who knew the end of the world could be this much fun?

Zombies Coming in Season Two
Only on Kickstarter

A cartoon cat stands in front as a UFO with cat-like features hovers above, shining light down. Four children behind the cat look surprised and alarmed.

My Cat Came from Outer Space

Can three kids outsmart an alien commander disguised as an irresistibly cute cat?

When Emma finds a stray cat wandering around after a meteor shower, she does what any kid would do—she brings it home. She names him Prince. He purrs. He snuggles. He is, by all appearances, the perfect pet. He is also an alien commander plotting world domination, using advanced mind-control capabilities disguised as adorable purring. My Cat Came from Outer Space is a sci-fi comedy for readers of all ages about the thin line between “pet” and “planetary threat.” Because cats have always been planning something. Now we have proof.
