I live near the beach in sunny Portugal with my husband and our pack of four rescue dogs. We moved here from the US last year and are loving it!
I write Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Cozy Mysteries with a twist. Each series features a sassy, snarky - and magical canine character, along with a passel of other supernaturals plus a troublesome flock of Greek gods and goddesses.
I'm currently an ALLi Ambassador for Portugal. I'm working to raise the profile of ALLi in Portugal and to help self-published authors living here in any way I can. Please feel free to contact me at barghestpress@gmail.com if you are (or plan to be) a self published author who lives in Portugal.
I am also the co-founder of the Indie Authors in Portugal meetup and Facebook groups. We meet twice a month to discuss the indie author journey and share advice, successes, failures and the way forward. If you live in Portugal and would like to join the Facebook group, please search 'Indie Authors in Portugal' under Groups and you'll find us!

Larry's Familiar Tale: The Crossroads Keeper Prequel
A junkyard dog saves the galaxy ... but his reward leaves a lot to be desired.
Nothing ever happens at O’Malley’s Supernatural Scrapyard amongst the piles of rusting and broken magical relics. Jesse, a washed-out witch, and her canine Rottie-Pitt mix Familiar aren’t expected to do more than keep an eye on things ... until the Mob shows up demanding entry.
Jesse and Larry must race against the clock to discover a long-forgotten magical relic that bends time and space. A magical mobster plans to activate it ... and export his criminal syndicate to the stars. After all, crime pays, and there’s a whole, big universe to exploit.
* This book is the prequel to The Crossroads Keeper series. Gods of myth and legend mingle with the supernatural creatures of urban fantasy in this modern tale filled with danger, humor, and even a canine super-hero!
Hecate's Heir: The Crossroads Keeper Book One
Alex discovers she's heir to a goddess' creation ... and the goddess needs her help to save it.
When a Crossroads Keeper is murdered, Alex inherits a legacy in a supernatural world she never knew existed.
A fireside chat with the goddess Hecate binds Alex as the new Crossroads Keeper, a role she has no desire to fulfill. Escalating dangers involving nightmares powerful enough to kill and long-dead souls reborn force her to investigate the darkness threatening the Crossroads and her new supernatural family.
Aided by her magical Familiar, Larry, a snarky pink-eared poodle with a chip on his shoulder, Conor, a too-sexy Barghest shifter, and an eager supernatural posse, Alex must bring the battle to the Underworld ... or risk divine chaos conquering all the realms.
Persephone's Problem: The Crossroads Keeper Book Two
A wayward goddess with a problem lover, a treacherous Fae prince, and a looming war between the gods nixes Alex's wish for a quiet life ... and propels her supernatural posse into a battle for the Fae throne that threatens to bring destruction to all the realms.
