Joanne Baldwin is a Weather Warden. Usually all it takes is a wave of her hand to tame the most violent weather. But now Joanne is trying to outrun another kind of storm: accusations of corruption and murder. So she's resorting to the very human tactic of running for her life ...
Her only hope is Lewis, the most powerful Warden of them all. Unfortunately, he's also on the run from the World Council. It seems he's stolen not one but three bottles of Djinn -- making him the most wanted man on earth. And without Lewis, Joanne's chances of surviving are as good as a snowball in -- well, a place she may soon be headed. So she and her classic Mustang are racing hard to find him because there's some bad weather closing in fast ...

Joanne's survived one
challenge ... technically ... but she's got a whole new set of problems. With the
help of a hot supernatural lover, her chances of surviving look bright -- until things go
wrong. There's trouble coming, and it's not confined to River City ... or to the
Wardens. No, this trouble could kill every Djinn on the planet -- and unleash a
storm that could send humanity to join them.
Armed with keen fashion sense, lime green Manolo Blahniks and a really fast car, Joanne prepares to do battle with the enemy.
Just one problem ... it may be Joanne herself.

retrieve the world's most important Djinn from the world's most
dangerous teenager ... all alone. That's bad enough, but

WINDFALL: Book 4
You think you're having a bad day? Joanne's lost her job as a Weather Warden, and saving the world generally doesn't come with a decent retirement check. It also doesn't come with any guarantees of landing a day job that won't suck, or being able to find a mystical cure for her critically ill Djinn lover. Burdened with a difficult sister in need of rescue, accused of weather-related murder, and finding herself in the middle of a Djinn civil war ... well, Joanne's bad times are just getting worse.
With enemies approaching from all sides, not to mention mounting credit card bills (Manolo Blahniks don't come cheap!), Joanne is praying for a windfall ... but the mother of all hurricanes approaching the Florida coast isn't exactly what she has in mind.

FIRESTORM: Book 5
The
agreement between the Wardens and the Djinn is in
ruins. Mother Earth is waking up, and man, is
she pissed. Add to that a new (fully
grown) daughter, an absentee Djinn lover who's just
become the most powerful being in the world, and an
increasingly desperate race against time.
And yet ... for Joanne Baldwin, things are about to go downhill from there. The most intense high-stakes game she's ever played is about to go very, very wrong.

THIN AIR: Book 6
Joanne Baldwin gambled everything ... and now, she
doesn't even know whether she won or lost. In
fact, she doesn't know anything. Who she
is, for starters. Who these hot guys David and
Lewis are, although it's a point in their favor that
they seem to be trying to save her life. She's
missing time, and she's missing memories, and
something out there is trying to get whatever she's
got left.
This time, it isn't about saving the world.
It's about saving herself.
