Grumpy P.I. Richard is secretly ridding his beloved New Orleans of the offenders on his “List” in a variety of inventive ways that favor his bad back. Molly, recently blinded from an accident and nursing a broken heart, moves to the city, right next door to Richard, in search of a new start. When Molly’s newborn baby attracts the attention of Richard’s ladyfriend, (who, unbeknownst to him, is a vampire queen), he obliviously entangles himself in a dangerous power struggle between the humans and the dark forces that fester just beneath the surface of daily life in The Big Easy.

Will Molly find her happily ever after? Will Richard redeem himself from his own dark past?

 In turns both darkly humorous and shockingly gruesome, The Devil Drinks Monsoons will chill your blood even as you find yourself laughing out loud.

Now, in the late eighteen hundreds, a pragmatic midwife and a troubled young psychic—descendants of the two witches—are drawn into a haunting legacy. An ancient being is stirring—an angry god of the old world, hungry for vengeance and ready to consume the future.

To stop it, the living and the dead must unite, recovering the lost knowledge of their craft. Whilst facing age-old problems and new foes. Some spirits don’t rest easy, and in Pendle, they’re clawing their way back from the past.
