In the year 1899, women are expected to behave, but Tesla St. Vrain is no ordinary young woman. Hiding her psychic powers from the world, she wants nothing more than to lead an everyday Victorian life. But after a simple witchcraft ritual goes awry, she is bestowed with the magical power of quintessence and forced down a path of darkness.
Determined to use her newfound powers to protect the Earth from the sleeping horrors and terrors long forgotten by humanity, she joins a secret organization, the Ministry of Psychical Defense, taking up an ancient quest to secure the evil sources of darkness, the Spheres of Nether. But can she come to terms with her powers and complete her training before the Spheres fall into the wrong hands?
Available in paperback, hardcover , kindle and Audibook
After escaping the dark tunnels of Egypt, Tesla found her new life as a Lieutenant of the Ministry anything but easy. All around her, supernatural threats were on the rise, as an ancient evil returns to threaten the existence of the Ministry of Psychical Defense and possibly humanity itself. Caught in a web of schemes, it will take more than magick and force for Tesla to learn the truth in time to stop the oncoming devastation.
In a series of terrifying adventures that take her from New Orleans to the frontier towns of New Mexico, she is pitted against vampires, restless ghosts, and Skinwalkers.
Every step is fraught with danger, but even more so from herself. If she slips up even once, there will be nothing left to stand in the way of the Apocalypse. This is a journey that will change the Ministry of Psychical Defense forever.
After two years of dark exile in the Land of the Rising Sun, Tesla St. Vrain is summoned by the Grand Master of the Sōhei to embark upon a dreaded quest; to locate and retrieve the most dangerous artifact known to man - The Dominion Stone. This Sphere of Nether has been sought by evil men for centuries, offering its holder the immense power to locate all the other Spheres and unlock unimaginable powers from the depths of the abyss.
But when the sinister Order of Altruists enlist the aid of the Yakuza and a powerful sorcerer to locate this cursed artifact first, Tesla embarks upon a dizzying race against time and unimaginable horrors. From vengeful spirits hidden in shadows, to ancient gods that have entered our world through forgotten portals, Tesla must traverse treacherous lands in search of the Dominion Stone before it falls into malevolent hands. Can she succeed in her mission or will the dark forces of the nether be unleashed upon an unsuspecting world?
Tesla St. Vrain reluctantly moves from France to her grandparent's secluded hotel in the mining town of Raven's Hollow, Colorado. As she soon discovers, the hidden secrets of this town run much deeper than its surface as it is a hotbed of strange supernatural activity. After uncovering a friendly ghost that is haunting her bedroom, Tesla must join forces with the Paraphenomenal Detective Agency to solve the crime and help the ghost cross into the afterlife. But as clues begin to unravel, an even more sinister evil emerges threatening to destroy the town and everyone in it. Can Tesla and her friends find a way to outwit their foe and it's wicked plans before it's too late?

Tesla St. Vrain was growing ever more frustrated and restless with the lack of supernatural cases to look into, yet Raven's Hollow is unusually still. After trying in vain to contact the ghosts living in her grandfather's hotel, Tesla reaches out to her friends in the Paraphenomenal Detective Agency and starts to search for new mysteries to explore.
It isn't long before they discover that the Tommyknockers are emerging from their mines and thieving from locals, and Lady Elizabeth's ghost is starting to act strangely. Has the notorious Doctor Ools reemerged? Is their town in danger from some unseen supernatural threat?
The Paraphenomenal Detective Agency is back in action and ready to take on whatever comes their way to get to the bottom of the mystery!

Albuquerque's early lawless reputation rivaled that of Dodge City and Tombstone. Its red-light district was known as Hell's Half Acre. Brothel owner Lizzy McGrath once had a local church demolished to build her new bordello. Milt Yarberry, the town's first marshal, was hanged for murder. And the controversial Elfego Baca, who had the gall to face Pancho Villa, survived a thirty-six-hour gunfight unscathed. Author Cody Polston presents the tales of those who slipped through the cracks of morality.

Historically known as the crossroads of the Southwest, and reflecting an amalgamation of Spanish, Mexican and Native American cultures, Old Town Plaza has been home to many of New Mexico's proud ancestors--and still is. Ghosts of Old Town Albuquerque presents the evidence of their specters wandering the shadows, gathered by author Cody Polston, president of the Southwest Ghost Hunter's Association. Having tracked spirits for three decades, including in such landmarks as the Bottger Mansion and Casa de Ruiz, Polston vows that pragmatism still can't explain away many of Old Town Plaza's eerie wraiths.

Desire, Deceit and Debauchery
Tombstone was a wild place during Arizona's territorial era, with violence and criminal activity running rampant. It wasn't just the Earp brothers' iconic gunfight at the O.K. Corral that left behind a trail of death and destruction--lawlessness and vigilante justice reigned throughout the Old West era. Driven by tension between the sheriff's office and the local Deputy Marshal, daily life for infamous outlaws, corrupt civil servants, and even ordinary customers of the saloons and brothels was apt to devolve into chaos at any moment.
