I love urban fantasy, that rich blend of fantasy tropes (witches, wizards, vampires, shapeshifters) in a contemporary setting, often a city but not necessarily, and mystery tropes (detective work, murder and crime, police procedural), spiced up with romance and relationship issues. I’ve written cyberpunk, time travel, and epic science fiction, but I feel I’ve found my true path with urban fantasy and the Abracadabra Series. The Garden of Abracadabra, Book 1, is on Nook and Kindle!
Charlaine Harris sets her Sooki Stackhouse series in the small rural community of Bon Temps, though her waitress heroine travels to New Orleans and Dallas. Jim Butcher sets his Harry Dresden series in Chicago. Kim Harrison sends her witch bounty hunter, Rachel Morgan, off on supernatural crime investigations in Cincinnati. Laurell K. Hamilton’s vampire hunter, Anita Blake, is based in St. Louis but in Obsidian Butterfly (one of my favorites, great title, too), she’s summoned to Santa Fe. College student and apartment building superintendent, Abby Teller, is based in Berkeley, California but her supernatural crime investigation in THE GARDEN OF ABRACADABRA takes her to the hell of Avichi.
