The Undead Mr.
Tenpenny
The Cassie Black Trilogy Book 1
by Tammie Painter
Genre: Humorous Dark Fantasy Mystery
Work at a funeral
home can be mundane. Until you accidentally start bringing the dead back to
life.
"...a clever,
hilarious romp through a new magical universe" --Sarah
Angleton, author of Gentleman of Misfortune
Cassie Black works at a funeral home. She's used to all
manner of dead bodies. What she's not used to is them waking up. Which they
seem to be doing on a disturbingly regular basis lately.
Just when Cassie thinks she has the problem under control,
the recently deceased Busby Tenpenny insists he's been murdered and claims
Cassie might be responsible thanks to a wicked brand of magic she's been
exposed to. The only way for Cassie to get her life back to normal is to tame
her magic and uncover Mr. Tenpenny's true killer.
Simple right?
Of course not. Because while Cassie works on getting her
newly acquired magic sorted, she's blowing up kitchens, angering an entire
magical community, and discovering her past is more closely tied to Busby
Tenpenny than she could have ever imagined.
If you like comic
fantasy whodunits with plenty of wry humor, a cast of unforgettable characters,
a touch of paranormal mystery, and piles of pastries, you'll find it hard to
pry yourself away from this first book of the Cassie Black Trilogy.
Note: While this book delivers a contemporary fantasy
tale with snarky giggles and a few hexes, it's fairly clean with only an
itty-bitty bit of light cursing, one fight scene, and no hanky panky or sexual
situations.

The Uncanny Raven
Winston
The Cassie Black Trilogy Book 2
There's nothing
like an evil wizard to ruin a perfectly good trip to London.
Ever have one of those weeks? You've taken an overdose of
magic, you've melted a twelve-year old girl, and Magic HQ has sent a letter
"requesting" you come by to discuss your magic control issues.
No? Just me, then?
I don't want to go. I've got a boss in a wheelchair (my
fault), a zombie cat who demands his treats on schedule, and no interest in
sorting out the quirks of another magical community.
But when someone slips me information tying my parents'
disappearance to HQ, I can't pack my bags quickly enough.
I'm soon destroying historical displays, befriending
befuddled ghosts, and focusing more on uncovering the truth about my past than
on learning how to rein in my magic. Which, considering what might happen if I
fail the test HQ has for me… Well, best not to think about that.
This second book of
the Cassie Black Trilogy squeezes you through a magic portal, lodges you in a
hidden corner of the Tower of London, and plunges you into a tale of mysterious
mishaps, peculiar ravens, and TV-binging trolls.
If you like
contemporary fantasy with unforgettable characters, snarky humor, and a touch
of paranormal mystery -- or if you've ever wondered what those garden gnomes
are really up to -- you'll find it hard to pry yourself away from The
Uncanny Raven Winston.
The Cassie Black Trilogy is a fish-out-of-water tale that
takes you from the streets of Portland to the Tower of London. It's got magic
and mystery, pastries and zombies, sentient gnomes and an evil wizard...because
there's always an evil wizard, isn't there?

The Untangled Cassie
Black
The Cassie Black Trilogy Book 3
Sometimes taking an
overdose of magic is the least of your problems.
Not only has Cassie Black just lost two people through a
magic portal, but her archenemy, the Mauvais, is threatening to destroy city
after city if Magic HeadQuarters doesn't hand her over to him.... a proposal HQ
isn't exactly saying no to.
As the Magic higher ups debate her fate, Cassie refuses to
sit by and watch the grass grow between the toes of the surveillance gnomes.
Biting back her life rule to never get involved, she knows the only way to stop
the Mauvais is to go after him herself.
Which is exactly what he wants. Because the instant Cassie
falls into his hands, the Mauvais will gain the unlimited power he’s always
craved.
So don't get captured, right? Easy for you to say.
Trouble is, there's a traitor within HQ who's proving to be
more devious, more powerful, and with more tricks up the sleeve than anyone
could have ever guessed.
In this page-turning
conclusion of the Cassie Black Trilogy, the curses are flying, the pastries are
plentiful, the bookworms are slithering, and the magical batteries are charged
to capacity.
If you like contemporary fantasy filled with dark humor,
paranormal mystery, and a cast of unforgettably quirky characters, you’ll love
the twists and turns of this conclusion to the first Cassie Black Trilogy.

Author of humorous fantasy whodunits full of mythical
misfits and magical mishaps
Many moons ago I was a scientist in a neuroscience lab where I got to play with
brains and illegal drugs. Now, I take wickedly strong tea and turn it into
comic fantasy whodunits full of mythical misfits and magical mishaps that I
hope give you a giggle.
My tales run the gamut from the ever-expanding Cassie Black Trilogy with its
wryly humorous paranormal mysteries to the comical fantasy whodunits in The
Circus of Unusual Creatures, and from light-hearted novellas celebrating my
love of books to short fiction in which I really flex my myth-loving and
humor-craving muscles!
When I’m not creating worlds or killing off characters, I can be found
gardening, planning my next travel adventure, concocting some sort of mess in
the kitchen, or working as an unpaid servant to one very spoiled cat and some
very demanding squirrels.
