About the Books

What is urban fantasy?

Urban fantasy is fantasy set in the real, modern world, usually in a city, where magic and supernatural creatures exist alongside ordinary life. Instead of a made-up kingdom with dragons, you get demons running the clubs, vampires running amok, and a heroine who has to deal with both.

The stories tend to be fast-paced, with action, mystery, and a sharp-tongued narrator, often a little romance too. If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Dresden Files, or Kim Harrison’s Hollows series, you’ll feel right at home.

The Demon Underground series is urban fantasy set in San Antonio, Texas. The Stone Whisperer Chronicles take place in the same world in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The Demon Underground Series

Is the Demon Underground series YA or adult?

Both, sort of. The heroine, Val Shapiro, is eighteen and just out of high school, so the series appeals to older teens. But it’s written for adults too, with adult-level danger and romance, and it’s shelved in both young adult and adult urban fantasy. Expect some language and innuendo, but no explicit sex scenes.

What order should I read the Demon Underground books in?

Start with Bite Me and read straight through:

Bite Me
Try Me
Fang Me
Make Me
Dare Me
Catch Me
Break Me

The two box sets collect Books 1–3 and Books 4–7.

Is the series complete?

Yes. The Demon Underground series is complete at seven books, ending with Break Me, but the Stone Whisperer Chronicles is a spin-off starring Ivy Weiss.

Who is Val Shapiro?

Val is an eighteen-year-old part-demon vampire slayer in San Antonio. Her inner succubus, Lola, wants things Val doesn’t, and her telepathic hellhound, Fang, has an opinion about everything. Together they hunt the rogue vampires that threaten the city.

The Stone Whisperer Chronicles

How are the Stone Whisperer Chronicles connected to Demon Underground?

The Stone Whisperer Chronicles are paranormal mysteries set in the Demon Underground world with the added complication of shifters. They star Ivy Weiss, a stone whisperer (she first appeared in Catch Me) who. can talk to gemstones and use their inherent magic. She has her own snarky hellhound.

Do I need to read Demon Underground series first?

No. Each Stone Whisperer story stands on its own, though Demon Underground readers will spot some familiar faces

How long are the Stone Whisperer books?

They’re novellas, each about a two-hour read:

Sapphires & Souls
Diamonds & Deceit
Moonstones & Malice

All three are also available in one box set.

About Parker Blue

Is Parker Blue a pen name?

Yes. My previous publisher asked me to use a pen name to differentiate the Parker Blue urban fantasies from the romance (in many subgenres) I wrote as Pam McCutcheon. I also wrote nonfiction books for writers as Pam McCutcheon  Find out more about them at pammc.com.

I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a rescue dog who bears an uncanny resemblance to Ivy’s snarky telepathic hellhound, Ruby.
