MOTHER BY DAY... VAMPIRE BY NIGHT. Six years ago, federal agent Samantha Moon was the perfect wife and mother, your typical soccer mom with the minivan and suburban home. Then the unthinkable happens, an attack that changes her life forever. And forever is a very long time for a vampire. Now working the night shift as a private investigator, Samantha is hired by Kingsley Fulcrum to investigate the murder attempt on his life, a horrific scene captured on TV and seen around the country. But as the case unfolds, Samantha discovers that Kingsley isn't exactly what he appears to be; after all, there's a reason why he survived five shots to the head...

After a near-fatal adventure in another world—a world of dragons, no less—Samantha Moon is ready for her first real vacation in nearly a decade. With a little money in her pocket from the sale of a mansion left to her by her vampire sire, Sam sets her sights on a whirlwind European tour. First stop: a castle in Ireland. However, when a dark shadow races across her hotel suite, followed by something evil watching her son from a suit of armor, Samantha Moon is about to discover that her trip to the Emerald Isle is about to be anything but relaxing... it's about to get deadly. After all, something wicked this way comes—and it's here to settle an old score with the vampire detective and her family. From #1 bestselling Kindle authors J.R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox comes Banshee Moon, first in the Samantha Moon's adventures through Europe, a collection of eight thrilling short tales to be published over the next few months.

After crossing paths with Baba Yaga in Finland, Samantha Moon and the gang continue their whirlwind European tour... Next stop: Denmark. Copenhagen is a dream. A beautiful city in a beautiful country, so of course Samantha Moon and her friends and family would eventually wind up fighting a Viking horde of the undead. It begins with a stop in a curiosity shop. Tammy is drawn to a small statuette of the Goddess Freya, a supposedly innocent souvenir meant for tourists. It's anything but. The goddess has a request... and only Tammy can fulfill it. Thus begins a journey deep into an island forest... and down into a forgotten temple where a cursed army of the undead await. Luckily, Sam, Kingsley, Allison and Anthony have Tammy's back. And also one very special goddess.

After crossing paths with the Golem of Prague, Samantha Moon and the gang continue their whirlwind European tour... Last stop: Greece. Now on the final leg of their trip through Europe, Samantha Moon and company find themselves on a pristine beach in Zakynthos, Greece. Her teenage daughter, Tammy, is happy. After all, this is her idea of a proper vacation. That is, until the winged air maidens appear at her hotel balcony. They recognize Tammy's enchanted necklace and think she might be able to help them. Similar to the mermaids of the sea, the air maidens live in the sky... and are being hunted by a cruel sorcerer. Samantha and the gang agree to help, but what starts out as a rescue mission soon turns into the fight of their lives. The final stop on their European vacation might just prove to be the most deadliest yet...

After crossing paths with fire imps in Paris, Samantha Moon and the gang continue their whirlwind European tour... Next stop: Prague. Dealing with Anthony's mind-numbing "Czech" jokes is one thing... but dealing with magic-wielding vampires is something else entirely. It begins after a few peaceful days in Prague. The sites are awe-inspiring. But the sounds not so much. Especially the banging at night. And then the screaming. Sam and Allison investigate... and come across something they're not entirely prepared to see. A monster of massive proportions, controlled by a nefarious group of old world vampires. They also find one lone Light Warrior in need of a whole lot of help. Luckily, helping is what Sam and company do best...

Whoever heard of a vampire with a day job?   It's been a few months since Samantha Moon's not-quite-storybook life took a sudden and tragic turn, sending her kicking and screaming into undeath. Despite clear evidence of a deeper, supernatural reality, she tries to cling as much as possible to the routine she knows even as her marriage and career disintegrate before her eyes.   When her procedural suspension from HUD ends surprisingly without termination, she accepts reinstatement against her better judgment. Unfortunately, it soon becomes abundantly clear that she’s become highly incompatible with early mornings.   What's a vampire to do when she has bills to pay and kids to feed? Sam makes a go of private investigation, but clients are scarce—until she finds one no other PI dares touch: a woman who believes something paranormal is responsible for her son’s disappearance.

Coping with being attacked and left for dead isn't easy, but Samantha Moon is grateful that she survived ― until she suspects she didn't. Vanishing from mirrors is only the first of a series of bizarre events that defies explanation, even to her trained investigative mind. A severe allergy to the sun, alertness at night, inability to eat food that isn't blood, and worst of all: she can't remember the last time she needed the bathroom. Of course, it's not all bad. Years have fallen off her face, her hair is perfect, her senses are honed, and (assuming she hasn't gone crazy) she can even see in the dark. It's all too much to process, so she does the only thing that makes any sense: tries to go back to work. A huge hat, shades, and half a bottle of high-test sunscreen later, she's back out inspecting properties with her partner Chad. Her first day, she suspects a HUD recipient of having undeclared income. Determined to cling to the career she worked so hard for, Sam traces the money back to small-time arms dealers selling big-time weapons. Everything seems to be routine until her sluggish reflexes get someone shot ― and her husband suffers an emotional breakdown. Worse, she faces a more insidious and dangerous enemy than an apocalyptic militia group with military hardware... Daytime.

Mother, wife, federal agent... mortal. Samantha Moon hadn't always been a vampire. Once, she had been a wife and mother, happily married to her soul mate and raising two adorable kids. Once, she had been a federal agent investigating a world teeming with sophisticated scams, drugs, human trafficking and violence. She had hippie parents and a caring sister. She had a small home with an irritatingly detached garage. She had friends, colleagues and normalcy. That is, until she caught the eye of something evil... But first, she has a job to do. When her HUD team of federal agents is sent in as backup on a drug raid, she spots a mysterious business card on the fridge. Later, she finds the same card during a routine inspection. Convinced the narcotics traffickers are more widespread than initially thought and are taking advantage of those in need, Sam can't let it go – even after the gang tries to send her a message written in lead. Yes, her days at the Department of Housing and Urban Development are typically boring, her worst fear, a paper cut, but little does she know that she has attracted the attention of something dark and hungry. Something that's about to steal her mortal life... and change her forever.

When a phantom memory strikes, Samantha Moon's world is turned upside down. The thrilling conclusion to the "Case Files" trilogy! Samantha Moon is about to discover that going back in time comes with some complications. Like having two memories of returning home from the Civil War. With no explanation for why a second memory appears, Sam is left contemplating the nature of time itself, parallel worlds, and a love that might have been. Along with her own sanity. After all, this second memory feels just as real as the first. Perhaps even more so. In fact, she's dead certain she investigated the murder of three men, uncovered a plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, and battled a pack of bloodthirsty werewolf spies. Samantha may not know why this alternate memory has appeared, but she does know one thing... It all begins on a train...

America's favorite Vampire for Hire is back! The thrilling continuation of the Samantha Moon Case Files! Summer is a great time to visit scenic Richmond, Virginia—except during the start of the American Civil War. After her attempt to save a young woman goes disastrously wrong, Samantha Moon has wound up trapped in 1862 with no way home to her children. The great, great granddaughter of the Voodoo priestess who hurled her back in time refuses to undo the spell. Worse, the few friends she'd made in the past have seen her true nature. Despite saving their lives, Sam parts ways to spare their sanity. Alone, Sam follows a rumor to Richmond. Hoping this supposed mystic can help her return home, she rushes headlong into the onset of the Civil War. Trying to convince an alchemist who is morbidly afraid of vampires to help one would be daunting enough even without a war going on. In the chaos of battle, her best hope disappears. Heedless of what damage she may do to the nation’s timeline, Sam can’t turn her back on those in need. Alas, Elizabeth senses her increasing desperation, and plies the temptation of bloody wounded everywhere. Sam’s already lost in time, but if she’s not careful, she may lose her soul as well.

From the author of the Vampire for Hire Series, J.R. Rain, comes a brand new Samantha Moon spin-off story co-written by bestselling author of The Dead Detective and The Department of Magic, Rod Kierkegaard Jr. Samantha Moon loses everything - her kids, her beloved, the very unlife she knows - when a powerful curse catapults her backwards in time, to Louisiana during the days of Marie Laveau. Though she pines for the familiar world of the present, Samantha must move fast - the superhuman vampiric abilities she relied on in prior cases have been compromised by the curse, leaving her vulnerable to a new kind of lurking evil... Now, her talents as a private investigator will be ever more critical. Can Samantha Moon unlock the key to the past and return to her present, or will she forever remain ancient history?

After crossing paths with a murderous entity in London, Samantha Moon and the gang continue their whirlwind European tour... Next stop: Finland.

Unfortunately, the forest holds something much more sinister than a pleasant vacation. They conceal a presence dark and ancient. A presence hungering for souls. Upon arriving at a woodland resort in Rovaniemi, Sam learns a group of hikers recently went missing. An unsettling quality to the woods makes her suspect the conventional authorities could use a little help. But no good deed goes unpunished. Some witches rather hate having their toys taken away.

By all appearances, she had been one of Jack the Ripper's victims... except she is wearing modern clothing. As the mystery deepens and the clues pile up, Sam and company soon find themselves hot on the trail of something dark and murderous... and eager to claim its next victim.

However, fun and games ends when Allison accidentally sends the boat back in time... seventy millions years back in time, when plesiosaurus ruled the Loch. Except the gentle giants don't quite rule the Loch. No. Something bigger does, something nasty and hungry... and it's going to take Sam and the gang's combined skills to not only get out of this one alive... but to find a way back home, too.

Cox comes Moon Monster, part two of Samantha Moon's adventures through Europe, a riveting collection of eight short tales to be published over the next few months.

First in the "Four Elements" series of supernatural mysteries, by #1 bestselling authors J.R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox!

The night after a strange meteorite streaked across the sky, the wind responds to his desires. He soon discovers he can manipulate water, fire, and earth as well. Shadow Pines is out of balance, and Mother Nature has sent Max to fix it.

Time to walk softly and carry a big stake… I had it all. A powerful coven. A charming Victorian mansion. A sexy car. A couture closet. Credit cards up the wazoo, and an endearing familiar. Actually, scratch that, Hellcat would never be described as ‘endearing’. More like: the bane of my existence. So, I almost had it all. Then a vampire came along and ruined it when he turned me into a Blood Witch. Now, I’ve been kicked out of my coven, kicked out of the mansion, I have no credit to speak of, the Lexus is a thing of the past and, not only am I driving something from the 80s, but it’s also unapologetically yellow. And rusted. But the biggest kicker of all? I’m still stuck with Hellcat. Even though my luck has too much in common with a toilet, if Wanda Depraysie is anything… it’s determined. Determined to make a go of things all by myself—determined to start over. So, I pack up the few items I can actually call my own and I move to the only place that doesn’t fall under coven ownership—a little town in Oregon called Haven Hollow. Imagine my surprise when I find out a gypsy has already taken up residence in this afterthought of a town. Well, no worries, witch magic trumps gypsy magic and I’ll make short work of her. After all, Haven Hollow is way too small for the two of us. No, the gypsy won’t be an issue. It’s my new landlord who’s going to be the death of me… possibly quite literally. Why? Because he’s none other than the vampire who turned me into a Blood Witch in the first place, thereby ruining my life. Lorcan Rowe is the most infuriatingly smug, irritatingly determined and offensively nosy person I’ve ever met and if my magic were functioning correctly, I’d hex him into oblivion. But, that’s just it—my magic is on the fritz. And that won’t do—especially when I need to open my enchanted clothing store, Wanda’s Witchery, yesterday. When my fabrics go missing at the same time that my magic stops working, I can only blame one person: Lorcan. Well, that vampire is about to learn a very valuable lesson—you don’t mess with a witch, blood or otherwise, because when the going gets tough, the tough get a really sharp stake.

The epic brand-new mystery series by #1 bestselling authors J.R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox! For fans of The Witch and the Gentleman, A Discovery of Witches and Jessica Jones... Detective Madeline Wimsey tends to stand out with her wild red hair, pentacle amulets, and offbeat methods, but she has a tool few other cops use ― magic. Maddy knows the universe wants to balance itself out, so she isn’t above tossing around a spell or two whenever a killer’s karma needs a little nudge in the right direction. As a member of a practicing coven, she’s used to strange looks, hushed whispers, and rolled eyes, but couldn’t care less what people think of her. After a man turns up dead in a grisly satanic rite, her fellow detectives are quick to crack jokes. Since they can’t tell a pentacle from a pentagram, Maddy’s happy to get the case. She suspects the ritual to be the work of amateurs, a theory that pans out when they track down the pack of clueless high school students who made the shrine in the woods. Convinced all is not as it appears to be, Maddy asks the Goddess for a push in the right direction and learns a disturbing truth: The Devil’s Eye is watching her.

Richelle will face off against Gypsy shamans, double-crossing ghosts, a partner she can't trust, and her own undead nature in a journey into the depths of the occult world and out the other side without losing her sense of humor - or humanity - along the way. It's a good thing her deductive skills - and her aim - are still up to par.
