Welcome to Perky’s Books and Gifts where gardening books blossom into bouquets, cookbooks sizzle with succulent juices, and Military History books can be lethal. Don’t mind the mutilated body behind the werewolf display, or the fact that the café manager is an egregore; Frankenstein was one, too.
When librosprites begin to disrupt Perky’s Books and Gifts, Madison and her fellow Perky employees and customers have to merge their Christian and Wiccan differences to evoke spritephage demons, solve two murders and prevent a third, and adapt to the take-over of Tobogaton Nationals.
So, welcome to Perky’s Books and Gifts! This Urban Fantasy is 52,000 words.

Greg is an egregore (a man-made demon) which doesn’t want to die, so he has to prevent the last heir of his creator from becoming good.

When librosprites (they are sort of like static electricity with a wicked sense of humor) infest Perky’s bookstore, Madison and her Perky friends devise a plan to evoke spritephage demons which will consume the librosprites. Her friends, however, have to overcome their religious differences (spanning from Roman Catholic to Wiccan and every faith in between) first.
Oh, and along the way, Madison and Thomas get married, the god and goddess of War shape-shift and fly away together, and
All in a day’s work for any normal bookstore.
