DEAD GIRLS ARE EASY
has been nominated for Best First Book and Best Paranormal Romance by Romance Writers of America!


Happy reading, ghoulfriends!








Ghosts, spirits, phantoms, spooks.
Call them what you like,
but don't call them too loudly -
they might hear you!

A spooky old house and a closet full of family skeletons leaves Nicki Styx wondering if her life will ever get back to anything approaching normal. Things go from bad to worse when the Devil himself shows up, on the lookout for a hot new girlfriend with the power to help him harvest lost souls. Demons may be a ghoul's best friend, but with this particular hottie, it could be a match made in hell!

Sammy Divine is the smokin’ hot new owner of Divinyls, the hottest new indie music store in town.
He’s also the Devil in disguise, and he’s moved in directly across the street
from Nicki Styx’s vintage clothing store, Handbags and Gladrags.
Despite Sammy’s claim that “demons are a ghoul’s best friend”, Nicki wants
nothing to do with this bad boy with a dark side. But the Devil’s in the details,
and Sammy’s out to seduce Nicki Styx,
one way or another!

"My name is Nicki Styx, and I thought
I had the world all figured out.
Then I regained consciousness."

There's something about almost dying that makes a girl rethink her priorities.
Take Nicki Styx - she was strictly goth and vintage, until
a brush with the afterlife leaves her with the ability to see dead people.

Before you can say boo, Atlanta's ghosts are knocking at Nicki's door. Now her days consist of reluctantly cleaning up messes left by the dearly departed, leading ghouls to the Light... and one-on-one anatomy lessons with the dreamy surgeon who saved her life. All this catering to the deceased can be a real drag, expecially for a girl who'd rather be playing hanky-panky with her hunky new boyfriend... who's beginning to think she's totally nuts!

Things get even more complicated when a friend foolishly sells her soul to the Devil, and Nicki's new gift lands her in some deep voodoo.

As it turns out for Nicki Styx, death was just the beginning.
