The Nocturne Falls Universe
If you are new here, Nocturne Falls is a small town in Georgia that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year. Tourists think it is all costumes and special effects.
It is not.
Everyone in town is actually supernatural. Vampires, witches, shifters, demons, gargoyles, fae, psychics, angels. They all live together under the cover of a Halloween tourist trap, hiding in plain sight.
What makes this universe special is not just the paranormal elements. It is the community. The way characters show up for each other. The way friendships form across species. The way romance builds in the middle of chaos. The way humor and heart are always woven together.
The Nocturne Falls Universe currently includes three interconnected sub-series:
Currently these are only available on Amazon
Nocturne Falls Series
Paranormal romance set in the heart of the hidden supernatural town. Each book follows a new couple, but the town itself is the constant. You get familiar faces, ongoing town drama, and that addictive small-town interconnected feel. This is where the universe begins and where its heartbeat lives.
Jayne Frost Series
A cozy paranormal mystery spin-off following Jayne Frost, a woman who moves to Nocturne Falls and quickly finds herself tangled in supernatural crimes, secrets, and slow-burn romantic tension. These books lean more mystery than romance, but still carry the same warmth, humor, and town dynamics.
Frost & Crowe Series
A paranormal romantic suspense series that steps slightly outside the town limits and into a broader supernatural world. These books follow Jayne Frost and Xavier Crowe as they navigate darker threats, deeper magic, and higher-stakes conflicts. The tone is a little sharper, the danger a little closer, and the emotional arcs more intense, while still staying firmly rooted in the Nocturne Falls world.
Together, these three series form the Nocturne Falls Universe, a layered, character-driven paranormal world that is endlessly reread-able and deeply comforting.
