Supernatural detective fiction
Urban fantasy mystery

Mythology-infused thrillers
The Grits & Gravy Mysteries
The Grits & Gravy Mysteries series follows two unlikely private investigators:
Grits McCoy, a retired NASCAR driver

Operating out of Miami in the summer of 1981, they investigate crimes that most people refuse to believe are real.
At the center of their first case: a string of brutal murders connected to Miami’s most notorious nightclub — and an impossible suspect.
