Book Description
Towards the end of her pregnancy, Mara and Gus get a call for help, from Mama Lua. Mama Lua has to go to New Orleans for a family emergency, but her store is under attack and she can’t leave it unattended. She asks Mara and Gus if they can fill in for her while she’s gone, deal with the assorted, eccentric customers, and figure out who’s trying to shut her down. When Mara and Gus arrive in Los Angeles, they have their hands full and Mama Lua is nowhere to be found. Aunt Tillie, who insisted on accompanying them, has her own reasons for wanting to be in Los Angeles, and isn’t being very forthcoming. Mara and Gus soon find themselves knee-deep in paranormal weirdness. Not only does Mara catch a wannabe vampire feeding on the customers, there’s a flesh-eating demon on the loose, working its way up the food chain, and now someone’s called up a homunculus. It’s up to Mara and Gus to sort everything out and can that demon before it claims any more victims on its homicidal snacking binge. But they need to get things under control fast, before Mara goes into labor and her unusual baby makes its long-awaited appearance in their world.

Book Description
Mara's life is about to get a magical makeover, but not the kind she ever dreamed of! In the middle of the worst month of her life, Mara turns to her tarot cards. And what they predict is insanely horrible. And unfortunately, spot on. Before she knows it, she's evicted from her apartment, fired from her job and banned from Beverly Hills. When the cards start predicting her imminent demise, she decides to use a little magic to make her world right again. Suddenly, an unknown aunt passes away, leaving Mara as her sole heir. But Mara’s new home holds a spine-tingling secret: Aunt Tillie never moved out. She’s one seriously pissed-off old ghost, who blames Mara's magical meddling for her untimely death. When Mara accidentally unleashes a demon and raises the spirit of the most formidable witch in history, Aunt Tillie is out for blood, literally. It's the only way she can think of to save Mara from herself. But the witch and the demon have their own plans for Mara, leading to a spellbinding showdown in a tale that blends humor, suspense, and a dash of supernatural mischief. Brace yourself for a wild ride in "Somebody Tell Aunt Tillie She's Dead," an edgy urban fantasy that blends humor and supernatural suspense! WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING: "What a fun book. I fell asleep reading it and in the morning, I stayed in bed to finish it." -- Finals Judge, 2012 Writers Digest Self-Published Book Awards "This was so much fun to read I didn't want it to end! If you are looking for a paranormal story that has it all, this is it!" -- Wickedly Bookish "Get ready for a psychic roller coaster ride. This book is a tour de force novel of magic, spellcraft and overall chills." -- Everything Magical and Middle Eastern "A tremendous amount of fun to read. Christiana Miller's background in the TV industry shows in her confident, imaginative plotting and idiosyncratic characters that leap off the page." -- Reading is My Super Power WHAT OTHER AUTHORS ARE SAYING: "This was such a fun read! It's not all witchiness, though, it's also witty, romantic, and heartfelt. You won't be able to put it down." -- Sibel Hodge, Voodoo Deadly "A spellbinding tale about the families we are born to -- and the ones we choose. It captivates from the first page and holds on until the final, shocking conclusion. You won't want to miss it!" -- Barbra Annino, Opal Fire: A Stacy Justice Mystery "A fine romp through spookyland, with enough paranormal creepiness to chill your blood. Witches, demons, magic spells, oh my! There's just enough intrigue and magic spells to keep you on edge, and Miller's hilarious one-liners leave you begging for more. Highly recommended for fun but scary reading on dark, stormy nights." -- Bonnie Turner, Down the Memory Hole

Book Description
When Mara’s vampire half-brother Vin resurfaces in the haunted streets of San Diego, he steps into a world teetering on the edge of paranormal pandemonium. Otherworldly chaos has reigned in his absence, and the baby bats under his wing have been useless. All except one. Morty, despite generally being a pain in his fangs, is showing more promise than expected. Together, Vin and Morty embark on a perilous journey, tracing the sinister threads of an Otherworld conspiracy to a hidden dive bar, where a cataclysmic showdown threatens to unleash chaos upon the world. But the life hanging in the balance isn’t just any life—it’s the one Vin would sacrifice everything to protect. As the night unfolds, Vin will confront malevolent demons and vengeful angels, testing his skills and survival instincts to the limit. The odds are stacked against him, and the clock is ticking. Will Vin emerge from this nightmare unscathed, or will he pay the ultimate price in his quest to protect the life he cherishes most? This story takes place after Somebody Tell Aunt Tillie We’re Canning Demons. (Note: This was originally written as a short story for an anthology. It’s come a long way since then… Warning: This is a vampire story, so it does have language, blood and a little bit of sex.)
