They star Alex Cheradon as a private investigator bumbling his way through the supernatural and the sci fi.

Fruitbasket from Hell
My name’s Alex Cheradon. I’m a private investigator. That means I investigate…private…stuff.

I do NOT slay vampires, battle demons, fight zombies or vanquish evil spirits. In fact, you know what? Let’s just strike a line through the whole supernatural genre and call it a big no-no for me, okay?

Steven Raines (you know, the man who made billions making an operating system that out-Microsoft-ed Microsoft?) hired me to look for his missing daughter. Although, he’s pretty sure she’s dead. But, hey, guy’s offering me a million dollar payday, so I’m not going to argue.

I’m also going to ignore the thing about her being a Satanist, the dead bodies that are piling up around me, and vampires that I find myself in the middle of. And that big thing named Pookie, I’m going to ignore that, too.

Yep. I’m just going to ignore it all. For one million dollars I can totally do that.

Now all I have to do is stay alive long enough to spend the money.

Book 1 in the Alex Cheradon series.

A is for Amnesia
Hi there, I’m Alex Cheradon, private investigator and local trouble magnet.

Recently a man has come into my office with no memory of who he is. Naturally, he wants to hire me to find his identity. For some reason he also happens to have a winning lotto ticket that he’s willing to use as payment. Said ticket is worth 10 million dollars. I don’t find anything suspicious about that, do you (note: sarcasm)?

I’ve also been recently employed with the newly widowed Mrs. Ruxpin. Seems her deceased husband had a certain gem that’s gone missing. A gem with some mystical properties, if you catch my meaning. Look, I know I hate the supernatural as much as the next guy, but, hey, her money’s good. So it’s a mystical gem, what could go wrong?

No, seriously, I’m asking: What could go wrong? Could someone please talk me out of this because I just had a flash of images that involved a head in a bathtub and a pet shop emporium. Please don’t make me go to the pet shop emporium. Please.

Book 2 in the Alex Cheradon series.

Good news: It's a million dollar payday. Bad news: she may be a Satanist hell bent on bringing the Devil to Earth.
