Double jeopardy. An alien gets a bride from Earth. But she’s a convicted felon. Will he banish her for her crimes as required by the law of his planet or will he break the rules for love?

WARNING: No good comes from reading a book with magic, murder, revenge, sass talk, demons, animals committing felonies and bad things happening to good people for no reason. The only lesson learned is don’t lie unless you know the rules.

Life in New Jersey is harsh in the Great Depression, but teenager Peter Whistler has the magical gift of lying. The arrival of a conjuror with evil designs on a little blind girl named Esther draws him into a plot to unleash a demon.

Their one chance for survival is to find the mad shaman of the bayou known as the Frog King.

In an alternate 1930s, magic fills New Orleans’ air. Can Peter’s mystical lies and a dash of Cajun crazy prevent hell on Earth?

Amanda Clarke thinks of herself as perfectly ordinary in every way. Just a small-town girl who serves breakfast all day in a little diner nestled next to the highway, nothing but dairy farms for miles around. She fits in there.
Then a woman she never met dies, and Amanda was named in her will. Amanda heads to the big city, to Miss Zenobia Weekes’ Charm School for Exceptional Young Ladies on an historic street lined with gorgeous old houses, the former homes of lumber barons, railroad millionaires, even the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Amanda can practically hear the jazz music still playing across the decades.
Scratch that. The music really, literally, still plays in the backyard of the charm school. Because the house stretches across time itself. Without a witch to protect this tear in the fabric of the world, anything can spill over. Like music.
Or like murder.
