Aloysius Tales

When Killian Barth, history professor, meets Blaine Genneau, quantum physicist, they ignite their own big bang. But Killian can't pursue a physics professor-or a human. As the most powerful male witch in ten generations, Killian must bolster his dying race by reproducing-despite the fact that he's gay. Even a fling with Blaine is out of the question, because Killian has been told sex with humans drains his power. But if that's true, why can young human Jimmy Janx dissolve spoons with the power of his mind? If Killian can sort through the lies he's been fed, he'll still face his biggest obstacle-convincing rational scientist Blaine to believe in magic. With his ancient and powerful cat familiar, Aloysius, on his shoulder, Killian brings the lightning against deceit and greed to save Blaine from danger and prove love is the greatest power of them all. Contains mature themes.

Sammy Raphael is a crappy witch, and on top of that, he can't seem to get a boyfriend. Where other supernaturals can bring down lightning and manifest wealth, Sammy can paint. Granted, the "prophetic" paintings he creates at night always come true, but they never predict anything important. Sammy feels like a total loser with a worthless ability. One night he paints a gorgeous guy who turns out to be his secret crush, the human Ryder, but Ryder's changed so much he's almost unrecognizably beautiful. Then Sammy paints an angel who turns out to be a witch. But is that witch also a devil-a devil who can bring down Sammy's whole community and everyone he loves? And why the hell does Ryder keep changing? Aloysius, the black cat familiar, always backs a winner. So why is he backing Sammy? Contains mature themes.

How do you confess to the man you love that you're a cat? After a few centuries as a cat, waking up human can be pretty disorienting. In fact, it's amnesia producing. Alain doesn't remember being feline, or more important that he was really a witch's familiar and a primary protector of his master and community. He does remember how to wash his face with a licked hand, how to lie in rays of sun on the floor, and how to lift a leg, attempting to apply his tongue to more private parts. He also remembers that he likes men-especially Luke, the sexy vet who finds Alain naked in a pile of dogs and cats. Evil's closing in on the community he's cared for, but Alain can't remember how to defend them. And if he does remember, he has to confess to Luke that the man he loves-is a cat. Contains mature themes.
