“Handbook For Mortals” is the first book in an urban fantasy/paranormal romance series that centers around Zade, a free-spirited twenty-something girl who comes from a long dynasty of tarot card readers who practice magick. Determined to forge her own path, Zade leaves her home in Tennessee to break free from Dela, her overprotective mother. Zade travels to Las Vegas and unbeknownst to anyone, she uses her supernatural powers to get cast in a premiere magic show led by the infamous magician Charles Spellman.
Behind the scenes of this multimillion dollar production, Zade finds herself caught in a love triangle with Mac, the show’s handsome but rough-around-the-edges technical director, and Jackson, the tall, dark, handsome, charming bandleader.
During a hugely complicated illusion, Zade is critically injured and her only hope is a special kind of magick to save her. even that may be too late.
Handbook for Mortals premiered in August 2017 as a USA TODAY bestseller and is already in the works to be made into a motion picture. This book has the distinction of being the only book to ever be #1 on the NYT best seller list and then to be kicked off the list only 23 hours later!
