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.
