Core Fantasy Series

Scanguards Vampires

The Scanguards Vampires series anchors Folsom’s supernatural world. Set in modern day San Francisco, the series follows a powerful vampire clan that runs a private security firm while protecting humans and immortals from supernatural threats. Each novel highlights a different couple, yet recurring characters, evolving alliances, and long term consequences connect every book.

These stories emphasize loyalty, consent, and chosen family. The vampires wield wealth and power, but the narrative focuses on emotional bonds rather than dominance alone.

Stealth Guardians

Stealth Guardians expands directly out of the Scanguards world and shifts attention toward elite operatives and covert protection teams. The series increases the action and tactical tension while maintaining the same romantic intensity and emotional throughlines.

Crossover characters and shared history keep this series tightly integrated with Scanguards rather than separate from it.

Venice Vampyr

Venice Vampyr explores a darker, more gothic branch of Folsom’s vampire mythology. Set primarily in Venice, the series draws on ancient rivalries, secrecy, and the psychological weight of immortality. The atmosphere leans more brooding and insular than Scanguards, yet the stories remain firmly rooted in romance.

Out of Olympus

Out of Olympus delivers playful, fast paced paranormal romance centered on Greek gods navigating the modern world. The series mixes immortals with very human flaws, sharp humor, and high heat romance. It suits readers who enjoy mythological figures stripped of reverence and dropped into emotionally charged, character driven love stories.

Werewolf Alliance

Werewolf Alliance introduces a high tension shifter world built on pack politics, uneasy truces, and survival driven alliances. The series focuses on powerful werewolves forced to cooperate against shared threats, with romance emerging under pressure rather than comfort. Expect dominance clashes, loyalty tests, and emotionally charged bonds forged in conflict rather than safety.
