Where the Monsters Live

“An absolutely brutal novella that had me squirming in my chair.” – Hunter Shea, author of We Are Always Watching

How far would you go for revenge?
When a six-year-old girl is abused and left for dead by a pedophile known only as the “Rabbit Man” due to the claw marks left on her body, police follow every lead but reach only dead ends.

Hungry for justice, her grieving father abandons wife and child on a harrowing journey deep undercover into Miami’s sex offender colony under the Julia Tuttle Causeway. His purpose is simple: to find the “Rabbit Man” among them, and put him in the ground.

Months later, with no one to trust and the pedophiles he lives among growing suspicious of his actions, he learns nothing is simple where the monsters live.

After Today

?? After Today was executed with all the action, angst, twists and turns of a post-apocalyptic prestige-TV drama.??

Can love survive an apocalypse?
After a deadly virus ravages Chicago and destroys Mackenzie Lyons’ carefully curated world, Mac escapes the devastation and horror to her childhood hometown with the help of her best-friend’s little brother, Jake. But the small-minded community of Sanford isn’t exactly welcoming, and the virus isn’t the only battle brewing.

Jake Brent has secretly loved Mac forever, and while this isn’t the way he’d dreamed of their relationship beginning, with the uncertainty of the outbreak he’ll take every opportunity with Mac he can and hope—pray—for a better future.

But when Sanford’s misogynistic council torment the survivors with horrifying demands and a lawless motorcycle gang threatens their fragile sanctuary, somehow Jake and Mackenzie must form new alliances and face down dangerous enemies in a struggle far worse than the outbreak.

Surviving the virus was one thing, surviving humanity after is another.


Author’s note: After Today is the first book in The After series of interconnected standalone post-apocalyptic romance novels. If you love reading stories by Rebecca Quinn, Kate Morris, Claire Kent and Imogen Keeper, then you will love this series.

After Today is a standalone story with no cliffhangers and a HEA, however will be enjoyed further by reading the other books in the series. Possible trigger warnings for violence against women; this is mature content written for 18+ readers ?

?? I loved this novel. I found the situation and the characters to be very realistic, so it was immersive to read; I didn’t have to suspend disbelief – I believed! It was a very fast read with excellent pacing. There was quite a bit of action, which was very well written – clear but concisely described, so things moved along very quickly. There are some scorching hot sex scenes, but this is definitely much more story than erotica. I felt it added the right level of spice to the meat of the overall story. ??

?? What do you get when you layer a hot, hot, hot romance with great characters and a fast-paced, end of the world plot? One fantastic book! After Today had my heart racing, and I couldn’t put this book down till the last page. Can’t wait for more of this series! ??

?? I was hooked from the opening sentence. Jacqueline Hayley has created a world that descends into chaos and anarchy almost immediately. This book sets the stage for an epic series that tests the loyalty and mettle of every character. The story stayed with me long after I read the last page. Cannot wait for Book 2. ??

Centaur of the Crime

Kidnapped to a world of magic, can Dayna Chrissie use forensic science to solve a royal murder…before centaurs and humans plunge headlong to war?

C.S. Lewis meets CSI when Dayna Chrissie, the LAPD’s best crime scene analyst, finds a golden medallion on a body that’s been unceremoniously dumped at a construction site. At first, she doesn’t think the find’s that unusual. Until that medallion’s enchantment transports her to the magical world of Andeluvia.

Dayna’s been summoned out of desperation: Someone’s murdered the king, and if she can’t solve the mystery, human and centaur realms plunge headlong into war! But nobody wants peace when war offers chances for riches and glory. So Dayna ends up with a team of cast-offs: a centaur wizard with father issues, a brash griffin warrior, and the world’s unluckiest magical deer.

And the trail leads where she least expects it…back home! When the evidence brings Dayna and her new friends back to Los Angeles, she must use all of her knowledge of forensics in order to solve the case.

The price of failure? A war that will kill millions and devastate Andeluvia.

Hope she works best under pressure.

Reviews of the Fantasy & Forensics Series:

Angel manages the nearly impossible…creating memorable characters in the midst of an intriguing mystery, action, humor and heart. — JC Andrijeski, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Quentin Black Mystery series

This clever, humorous fantasy springs to life from page one… — Publisher’s Weekly

Fast-paced action and sly wit make Angel’s writing irresistible fun. — Rebecca Moesta, NYT Bestselling co-author of Young Jedi Knights

Q – What makes the Fantasy & Forensics series special?

A – I’ve enjoyed epic sword and sorcery types of fantasy since I was old enough to pick up a paperback. At the same time, I’ve always been a mystery fan – specifically, of those classic thriller or suspense novels that kept you up all night to finish them.

So I wrote the F&F books as a unique mix of the two genres. Crime Scene Analyst Dayna Chrissie has to solve some nefarious wrongdoing in each book using forensic science – but in a world of sorcery and mythical creatures!

Q – Why should readers give these books a try?

A – Because you’ll get to meet a bunch of memorable characters – knights, centaurs, griffins, and magical fey deer – in the midst of intriguing mysteries filled with action, humor and heart. (Yes, I paraphrased one of my earliest reviewers, but I simply can’t put it any better than that.)

Q – Tell us more about series protagonist Dayna Chrissie – what makes her tick?

A – Dayna starts out as that person you always find at the office on a Saturday. She loves solving the mysteries that everyone else has failed to crack.

Over the course of this book and its sequels, Dayna learns that ‘working’ is not the same thing as ‘living’. So she becomes attached to her group of friends, to the point that they become like family. This serves her well as she encounters wizards, dragons, phoenix, demons, wyverns, and unicorns in her later journeys!

Q – Do readers have to read each book in the series in a specific order?

A – Not necessarily! Each novel is self-contained and doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, so you could pick up a book from anywhere in the series and enjoy it.

On the other hand, it’s fun watching Dayna’s friendships and companions grow closer to her over time. There’s also a couple over-arching themes and plots that unfold in the later books. So reading in order might bring its own rewards too.
