Welcome to a world where the natural and the supernatural mingle—sometimes with devastating results. Selene Shields and Clara Nordstern know this world, have seen everything from werewolves to witches, ghosts, ghouls, and even an angel. But they’ve never seen anything quite like Jill Hamilton, a grad student from UC Santa Cruz, whose reaction to losing her boyfriend in a rabid chimera attack is to go out and study the very things normal humans are supposed to ignore.

So begins the saga of Driving Arcana: three women in a big truck, chasing unicorns, interviewing vampires, and hunting monsters—to fight evil, protect humanity, but mostly, for science.

BY MOON AND STAR contains all the stories from Rotations One, Two and Three, plus a tie-in short story that further illuminates the subversively magical world of Driving Arcana.

  • Author suggests suitability for readers ages 12 and up
  • Compare with American Gods and Supernatural
  • eBook available from: Amazon Kindle, NOOK, Kobo, iTunes
  • Paperback available from: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, direct via Create Space and your local bookstore!

Description:

Jill Hamilton would call herself an ordinary person. Certainly in comparison to the sharpshooting, monster-savvy Selene Shields and the six-and-a-half-foot tall, sword-wielding Clara Nordstern.

But Selene and Clara would say that ordinary people, on discovering that the heavy-metal rock star performing in Las Vegas is a vampire, would not want to get an impression of his teeth. Which is exactly what Jill Hamilton wants to do.

Not content to simply fight the supernatural forces of evil, Jill Hamilton is also set on understanding them—and if that means interviewing a vampire, hunting angels, or exorcising demons, then so be it!

Driving Arcana: Rotation Two follows the saga of two women in a big red truck—and one on an overpowered motorcycle—as they investigate a murder in the sewers of Las Vegas, the mysterious disappearance of a Utah boy, and help a charming, lapsed minister exorcise a particularly determined demon. It includes the fourth, fifth and six episodes in Driving Arcana, Wheel One:

  • 4. Sex, Blood and Rock ‘N’ Roll
  • 5. God, or Aliens
  • 6. Missionary Man

Description:

What do you do when the supernatural world crashes, horribly and violently, into yours? Well, if you’re Jill Hamilton, you hire yourself a couple of hard-bitten, demon-hunting, monster-killing bodyguards, get in your dead boyfriend’s giant truck, and you go out and study it.

So begins the saga of Driving Arcana, the tale of three women on a mission to catch unicorns, talk to vampires, and understand the impossible—and maybe kill some monsters on the way—for science, justice, and the fight against evil.

Driving Arcana: Rotation One introduces us to former grad student Jill Hamilton and her bodyguards—the stoic, sword-wielding, motorcycle-riding Clara Nordstern and the tough-as-nails, gun-toting Selene Shields—as they encounter a bloody attack of rabid chimeras, a herd of unicorns bent on revenge, and a sinister invasion from beyond the borders of our world.
