JP Jackson works as an IT Analyst in health care during the day, where if cornered he'd confess to casting spells to ensure clinicians actually use the electronic medical charting system he configures and implements.
At night however, the writing happens, where demons, witches, and shapeshifters congregate around the kitchen table and general chaos ensues.
The insurance company refuses to accept any more claims of 'acts of the un-god', and his husband of 20 years has very firmly put his foot down on any further wraith summonings in the basement. Apparently imps aren't house-trainable. Who knew?
Occaisonally the odd ghost or member of the Fae community stops by for a glass of wine and stories are exchanged. Although the husband doesn't know it, the two Chihuahuas are in cahoots with the spell casting.
JP's other hobbies include hybridizing African Violets (thanks to grandma - the violet website can viewed here.), extensive travelling and believe it or not, knitting.
July of last year marked the beginning of JP's publishing career with the release of the pre-apocalyptic tale, Daimonion, Book One of the Apocalypse. Daimonion went on later that year to win 2017 Rainbow Awards for Best Gay Alternate Universe/Reality category.

Blurb:Dati Amon wants to be free from his satyr master and he hates his job - hunting human children who display demon balefire. Every hunt has been successful, except one. A thwarted attempt ended up as a promise to spare the child of a white witch, an indescretion Dati hopes Master never discovers.
But Master has devilish machinations of his own. He needs human-demon hybrids, the Daimonion, to raise the Dark Lord to the earthly realm. If Master succeeds, he will be immortal and far more powerful.
The child who was spared is now a man, and for the first time in three hundred years, Dati has a reason to escape Master's chains. To do that, Dati makes some unlikely alliances with an untrained soulless witch, a self-destructive shapeshifter, and a deceitful clairvoyant. However, deals with demons rarely go as planned, and the cost is always higher than the original bargain.Sound like fun?

Magic or Die is now available!
Blurb:
James Martin is a teacher, a powerful Psychic, and an alcoholic. He used to work for the Centre for Magical Research and Development, a facility that houses people who can't control their supernatural abilities, but left after one of his students was killed, turning to vodka to soothe his emotional pain. The problem is he still has one year left on his contract.
When James is forced to return to the CMRD, he finds himself confronting the demons of his past and attempting to protect his new class from a possible death sentence, because if they don't pass their final exams, they'll be euthanized.
James also discovers that his class isn't bringing in enough sponsors, the agencies and world governments who supply grants and ultimately purchase graduates of the CMRD, and that means no profit for the facility. James and his students face impossible odds - measure up to the facility's unreachable standards or escape.
