However, when getting caught between two worlds becomes more than metaphorical, being able to summon light or open locks might not be enough.Neither her love life nor her professional life are going anywhere in a hurry. Her boyfriend is successful and handsome, but she constantly has to compete with his job for affection. At thirty-two, she works as a photojournalist for The Spiritualist, a small paper dedicated to magic and the supernatural―that most people regard as a tabloid. Desperate for that ‘one break,’ she’ll do almost anything to get that big story and get into a ‘real’ media outlet.Years of always not quite fitting in begin to make sense after an error at a particle physics laboratory alters the dimensional alignment of the world, strengthening magic and revealing an unexpected truth to Solstice.She’s not even human.In the wake of an event her boss at the paper is calling the Convergence, magical beings are appearing all over the Earth. Solstice doesn’t hesitate, racing to be the first to capture indisputable evidence of mythical beasts. Alas, being a magical creature herself, she soon winds up in the cross-hairs of not only a three-letter government agency, but an ancient sect of mages with dark intentions.Solstice is about to discover just how powerful she really is...★★★★★ "In a world of fantasy l found this book engaging and it's main character, Solstice, to be someone that l wanted to learn more about. Imagine that your existence, your reality, even your entire being is nothing like you thought it was. Here is Solstice's reality - an entire entry into unreality! Check it out!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Convergence (Winter Solstice #1) by Matthew S. Cox and J.R. Rain is such a wonderful and awesome book! I fell in love with this book right away and was glued to it to the end! The world goes nuts after the "Convergence". People are thinking it is caused by the Hadren particle collider opening a portal to another realm. It is increasing the magic that is already in the world. Solstice is a gal that works at a magazine for the supernatural. She is good at it too. She also has a bit of magic and helps the FBI. After the night of the Convergence, she wakes up VERY different....VERY different...LOL, what a hoot this book it! So fun! I loved it, I laughed, I giggled, I can't wait for the next book!!! This is going in my favorite file!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I was just blown away by this story. It is highly LGBT friendly, featuring a married lesbian couple and a main character who might be bisexual. The depth of the character is classic J.R. Rain and this collaboration with Matthew Cox has piqued my interest in his other works. The action is intense. The background characters are deep. The story was engaging and I'm looking forward to the sequel." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "What a ride. I still don't know if I'm smitten with the brand new magic elf and magic in spares or terrified at the evil that men, human or not will do - all from the desire for power and fame." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Solstice Winters is a photographer for a newspaper that everyone thinks is bogus news. They cover the unusual. The magical. When an odd event happens, things change. People change. Solstice finds herself in the middle of a fight between humans and the magical world. Loved this book! Can't wait for the next!" ―Amazon reviewer

The new paranormal 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.★★★★★"I absolutely loved this first book in the new series by these two authors! Individually, they are powerhouse authors…as a writing team, they have become the Dynamic Duo. This story was entertaining, had me reading non-stop until the end and was filled with such fun and likable characters! You can’t ask for more than that from a book! This is definitely a story that I can recommend to my friends without hesitation. If you are looking for something new to read that will keep you wanting more than pick up a copy of this one…you won’t regret it!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"What a team! Boy, can these men write! You’re in for hours of great entertainment, engrossing suspense and supernatural doings as you read The Devil’s Eye by J.R. Rain and Matthew Cox. This is a solidly, practically flawlessly written book with their newest heroine, Maddy Wimsey, a practicing Wiccan who is drawn into this case by the Universe herself. The authors write fabulous female characters (see Samantha Moon, Solstice Winters, and Alexis Silver) and Maddy is a wonderful addition. Fans of paranormal, fantasy, mystery and crime novels will be glad they picked up this very substantial and satisfying read." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"I was quite intrigued by this new series, and rightfully so! The authors have created a powerful character in the persona of Maddy Wimsey. Not only is she a good cop who has worked her way up to become a good detective, but she is also a practicing witch who isn't afraid to use her magic when she feels it might be helpful. Unfortunately for Maddy, the universe tends to lead her to clues, not spell things out for her; so she does end up doing quite a bit of actual detective work along the way. The actual story behind the mysterious crime ended up being quite a bit more convoluted than I would have imagined, making for an intriguing story on the way to finding out what really happened." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"Wow! Great read and a new favorite character for me. Detective Wimsy appears to be another strong personality to be reckoned with. I believe I will totally enjoy this series." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"When J. R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox get together to write, you can expect a great book and this was no exception. Maddy Wimsey is a wonderful character who happens to be a detective and witch. The book is well written, has humor, mystery and characters that come to life as you read. I read it in one sitting because I just didn't want to put it down. I hope there are many more stories with Maddy!" ―Amazon reviewer

The first book in the new paranormal spy series, by #1 bestselling authors, J.R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox!Mina Barrett is the CIA’s best defense against the Dominion. She’s young, charming, intelligent, motivated… and she’s a vampire.Twenty years ago, vampires revealed themselves to the world. Society hadn’t expected them to be real at all, much less a species entirely separate from humans. The government feared hostile foreign powers would also seek to exploit their psychic talents, and put out a call for recruitment.After a childhood spent in isolation, Mina saw a chance for adventure and signed on the dotted line. Unlike the Dominion, she doesn’t feel humans are inferior creatures and works to stop others of her kind from enslaving them.A deep cover asset discovers information that vampires want to keep out of human hands. The CIA sends Mina in to bring him—and his information—out alive. But the Dominion has their sights set on the secrets buried for centuries beneath a Siberian glacier… secrets that could reshape the world.★★★★★ "The story is a nice mix of urban fantasy themes but does not get mired in the same old boring vampire rolls. Yes, this is a vampire book, but it brings enough new and/or underused ideas to the table that it is refreshing. The character development is well done, and we get a good insight into the main characters in the shorter length if this novel. The book is around 200 pages and moves along quickly with very little material that I would consider superfluous." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Broken Ice had a very savvy, intelligent female protagonist. From the opening chapters, the storyline is riveting, and the action non-stop, as Mina moves from assignment to assignment as an undercover operative. Interesting worldbuilding." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Catches you at the start and leaves you wanting more. Get it you will LOVE IT!!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "This is a fresh new take on Vampire fiction and it really hooked me! I love the world and the characters so much I truly can't wait to read more of this series! Or even this world!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Great new series about a feisty vampire who works for the CIA, her human colleague/boyfriend and an older sister who is a spy for the bad guys. Great read. Looking forward to the next book." ―Amazon reviewer

She gave up her dreams of higher education for love, marrying young, but her husband, and the life she wanted, perished in World War I soon after. Heartbroken and restless, she booked passage on a cruise along the West Coast in search of adventure, but adventure found her.The ship capsized, killing everyone on board, except for her. As she drifted far beneath the waves, inexplicably alive, the reason for her survival flashed by in a streak of silver: a merman.He had passed along the curse-or gift as Alexis sees it.A century later, she breaks up the monotony of immortality in the Pacific Northwest working as a private investigator. The long-dormant maternal instincts of her resident Dark Master kick in when a nice older couple hire her to find their missing son and his family. Her instincts tell her this isn't like her usual jilted-spouse cases.If she doesn't work fast, a little girl is going to die.★★★★★ "After finishing New Moon Rising which JR Rain and Matthew Cox collaborated on to tell the story of Samantha Moon prior to her being turned into a vampire, I immediately wanted to read Silver Light which was again written by both authors who in their own right are amazing.Silver Light is an engrossing story of Alexis Silver who was turned into a mermaid after a ship she was sailing on sank into the deep ocean. She has become a PI and along with the dark entity that has taken up residence in her, they become one kick-ass team of solving cases for those who need their service.This was a well written story with amazing characters. Alexis is so likable that I can’t wait to read more of her in future stories. With her winning personality and calming ways to help people in need, you can’t help but like her. The new world of Alexis that JR and Matthew have created is nothing short of magnificent! Their writing techniques blend so well together and make the story flow flawlessly. If you are a fan of either of these authors or are just looking for an extraordinary new book to read, then pick up Silver Light and lose yourself in this amazing world of Alexis Silver!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "An entertaining read with the twist of the main character being a mermaid private investigator. The buildup of the supernatural powers of a mermaid are well developed and draw the reader into this storyline. It is refreshing to have a new mythological entity enter the ring as a heroine. The authors spin a well thought out tale of mystery and supernatural resolution. Starting the second book right away." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I love the mermaid and her relationship with her dark master. Symbiosis at its best." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "All I can say is wow! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Who knew that mermaids and other supernatural creatures actually existed? The story flowed well. Getting to see bits and pieces of Alexis' background was good. I highly recommend reading this. I'm ready for the next book in the series now." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Having been a fan of the Samantha Moon series I sort of suspected I would enjoy this as well. Boy was I right. I actually laughed out loud several times and the interaction of Alex and her "Dark Master". Thoroughly enjoyable read. If you are a fan of Sam you will enjoy this as well. And the little tie in to the Moon series is a nice little treat." ―Amazon reviewer
