Dispatches from Upstairs
Almost every religion has a story about gods and goddesses taking on human avatars and walking among us. What if it still happens? Dispatches from Upstairs explores the conflicts that arise when divinities come to visit the modern world, bringing eons of emotional baggage with them.
This is an urban fantasy series featuring likable adult characters, action, adventure, and slow burn romance with occasional plot-driven spice.
WAKE: Dispatches from Upstairs, Book One:
Is one normal date asking too much?
At 28, Chuli Davis has manifested a perfectly adequate life for herself. But when a New Year's Eve first date turns sour, she’s rescued by a mysterious whispering hero who claims he's not human. She'll need to rely on her mythology degree in ways she never imagined if she wants to stay sane and get out of the crosshairs of whomever—or whatever!—is after her. She'll also need all the patience she can muster to deal with her new infuriatingly gorgeous coworker.
Ram is bossy, gruff, and rude, but despite her boss's warnings, Chuli's inner mechanic—not to be confused with her inner fun-sucker—can't help but want to fix something as broken as him, and maybe discover what dark secrets he might be hiding—as long as she can be certain he's not the one after her.
Save the woman, save his soul?
Going undercover to capture a nefarious god should have been a simple assignment for a skilled High Order agent like Ram. But his new coworker has complicated EVERYTHING. She's beautiful, courageous, and apparently entirely oblivious to the world around her, as if she were nothing but a mere human!
Now he finds himself fighting to help protect her future and keep her safe while still drowning in guilt from his own past mistakes. Can Chuli help redeem him, or is he doomed to continue to carry heavy emotional baggage his entire immortal life?

Does she have what it takes to see the mission through, despite the voice in her head?
TRIAGE: Dispatches from Upstairs Book Three
Several months of self-imposed solitude and a steady diet of lentil soup has Naoma Bhatt ready for some closure on her past so she can finally start planning her future. She's mended her relationship with Revati, and even picked up a handful of friends along the way. But when Ram disappears under mysterious circumstances, she'll need every skill she's ever learned in order to save him. Again. Is she truly ready to leave the past aside and fight for her future?
