Tildi Summerbee — (2007-2009) Publisher: Halfling Tildi Summerbee has led a typical, unexciting life, tending the house for her brothers while they manage the family farm. Her days are boring, but happy...until a Thraik attack decimates her family. In an effort to provide for Tildi, the town's leaders prepare an arranged marriage and take control of her farm's assets. After all, a female halfling is incapable of handling such matters on her own. Tildi sees things differently. In order to escape her arranged marriage and overcome the prejudices against the "weaker" sex, she decides to pass herself off as a man. Assuming the guise of her brother Teldo, Tildi disappears into the night. She plans to accept Teldo's position as an apprentice to a great wizard. But she soon finds that the rest of the world isn't very welcoming to halflings. And that she is surrounded by fantastic dangers. Dangers that are more than a match for a wizard's apprentice.

Stand-alone novels:
The Magic Touch — (1996) Publisher: Ray Crandall has just graduated from high school, and is at loose ends over a sticky, Chicago summer. He's been targeted by street gangs for forced membership or worse, if he refuses. His grandmother sends him to a meeting of her favorite charity, intending to get him involved with a safe peer group. He's not at all certain he wants to become a member of something called the Fairy Godmothers Union. The Union pairs him up with a senior fairy godmother, Rose Feinstein, who teaches him about magic and responsibility. Ray finds he has a talent for making wishes come true, and even enjoys the job. There are perks called brownie points one earns for granting a wish, little bits of magic for personal use. The Fairy Godmothers Union is being targeted by a rival organization, the Demons, Djinni and Efreets Guild, headed by their Grand Master, Albert Froister. The Djinni want the store of brownie points commanded by the FGU, since the DDEG has a different charter. They've enlisted help, the very street gangs who have targeted Ray. He finds himself in the middle of a new kind of turf war, with magic and the children of Chicago as the prize.

License Invoked — (2001) With Robert Asprin. Publisher: Irish rock singer Fionna Kemare is set to play her first concert in the U.S.—but something unseen has been attacking her. Her only hope is two offbeat government agents: Liz Mayfield, special agent for the British Office of Occult & Paranormal Sightings Investigation, and her FBI counterpart, Beauray "Boo-Boo" Boudreau.
