Celia Jerome

Willow Tate is a graphic novelist who earns just enough money at her craft to keep he rent-controlled Manhattan apartment and still put food in the refrigerator. Then she decides to write about a troll who’s a superhero — and one suddenly appears, causing mayhem in Manhattan. The odd thing is that nobody except Willow can actually see the stony red giant.

Willy thinks she’s going crazy just like her grandmother did, until she meets handsome, sophisticated, and oh-so-British Agent Grant from the Department of Unexplained Events. According to him, Willy has managed to break ages-old cosmic laws that could destroy the world as we know it. 

Now she has to help him save the planet, rescue a little boy, and find a murdering kidnapper who wants to use the power of a small village in the Hamptons to become master of the universe.

Along the way, Willy discovers that trolls don’t deserve their bad reputation, that she’s not the only person in the town of Paumanok Harbor with special talents, and that magic and true love really do exist.

The Willow Tate Series

Trolls in the Hamptons

Graphic novelist Willow Tate is a Visualizer, able to draw images of beings from the realm of Faerie—possibly “drawing” them from their world to ours in the process. 
 
First came a ten-foot-tall red troll who followed her from Manhattan to the small town of Paumanok Harbor in the Hamptons. Willow realized then that many of her relatives and their neighbors possessed a whole range of psychic talents—truth-knowing, scrying, weaving wishes, picking lucky numbers, etc. And all of them seemed privy to everything that happened in her life. 
 
So when magic and mayhem return to Paumanok Harbor, of course Willy is called upon to rescue the little town. 
 
Three magical mares are searching the Long Island village for a missing colt, and their distress is causing sleepless nights, bad tempers, and dangerous brawls among the gifted but peculiar residents. 
 
The Department of Unexplained Events sends Willow some help, a world-famous, horse-whisperer. Texan Ty Farraday seems more interested in whispering in her ear, though, than in rescuing the kidnapped colt whose terror only Willy can feel. 
 
Enlisting Paumanok Harbor’s uniquely talented residents in the search, Willy still has to struggle with snakes, drug dealers, tourists, hidden caves, a mad scientist—and the almost overwhelming distraction of that sexy cowboy. 
 
“Willow is a fabulous lead protagonist… The story line is fast-paced…the audience will stay up late reading this thriller… Celia Jerome has written a charming Long Island satirical urban fantasy.” —SFRevue

Night Mares in the Hamptons

A HOT TIME IN THE HAMPTONS
Graphic novelist and Visualizer Willow Tate can draw images of beings from the neighboring realm of magic, possibly “drawing” them from their world to ours in the process. So why has she foolishly decided to make the hero of her next book a fire wizard? 
 
Is that why the strange fire bugs suddenly appear at the East Hampton fireworks display and then start heating things up in and around the little Long Island town of Paumanok Harbor? These miniature arsonists are causing a whole lot of trouble, and when a baby swallows one and begins to cry flames, Willy knows she needs professional help to put a damper on the situation. 
 
This time the Department of Unexplained Events sends a “fire fighter,” Piet, a man whose very presence prevents fires from starting. 
 
With a tabloid reporter focusing his attention on Willow’s activities, and a science teacher determined to turn the fire flies into an energy source, Willow will be hard-pressed to keep the town’s secrets safe. 
 
Not only does she need to find a way to send the fire flies back to their own dimensions, she and Piet—who are starting to generate some heat of their own—have to track down a real arsonist who seems determined to set the area ablaze…

Fire Works in the Hamptons

AWASH IN TROUBLE— 
Graphic novelist Willow Tate is a Visualizer, able to draw images of beings from the realm of Faerie and possibly to “draw” them from their world to ours in the process. Maybe she shouldn’t have decided to make her latest book about the god from Faerie whom she’d “rescued” when the fire bugs came to her for help. Or maybe she just shouldn’t have given him a part fish/part fowl sidekick. Had the creature shown up in Paumanok Harbor because she’d drawn it, or had she drawn it because it was calling out to her for assistance? 
 
Either way, more weird things were happening in the Hamptons: robberies, embezzlement, rare bird sightings, rogue waves, and dolphins keeping the surfers out of the water. And though Willow swore she had nothing to do with any of it, none of the locals really believed her. She’d protested to anyone who’d listen that she wasn’t even in Paumanok Harbor when it all started. Except, of course, the hero of her latest book—patterned after the new man in her life, a handsome Harbor veterinarian—happens to be a sea god…
