The family of Night gets a visit from Karma in PBI Case Files

Being a student of Greek Mythology and knowing that many of my stories contain the Greek Gods and often lists their origins as alien and many more of my stories contain dream weavers, minor gods/goddess with the ability to manipulate dreams it was only a matter of time that I brought in Morpheus and his family to one of my stories and the new release coming out in the Wicked After Dark Box Set, Remote Paranoia (PBI Case Files #5) is the one I chose to bring this ancient god family into.



Initially I had intended to bring in only the god of dreams, Morpheus but as the story grew Nyx, goddess of the night who is also his grandmother and Hypnos, god of sleep who is also his father made an appearance.

Morpheus' brothers Phobetor (god of nightmares), Phantasus (god of fake and illusional dreams), and Ikelos (god of realistic dreams) are in the current draft but could be cut depending on edits and story flow. As my fans know, I like to keep the pages turning so sometimes if it doesn't enhance the story and move it along it makes the cutting room floor.

Karma (demi goddess, daughter of Atropos - one of the Moirai also known as the fates) is the granddaughter of Nyx and in one of the scenes when Karma visits the House of Dreams to talk to her cousin Morpheus, her extended family is there. She is put into an uncomfortable position since the purpose of her visit is to interrogate Morpheus about the string of murders her PBI team is investigating. It was going to be hard enough questioning her cousin, someone she liked and respected about the crimes but including the god of sleep and night ~ someone who makes Zeus nervous, makes things far more complicated.

Check out more sneak peek twists and characters coming up in Remote Paranoia (PBI Case Files #5) here.

While we're on the topic of Greek Mythology, who is your favorite god or goddess to read about in fiction? Why? Is there a god or goddess you'd like to read about in a work of fiction? I have had many different god/goddess appearances in my books. They always add a lot of chaos and fun to the story and can't help but meddle in the human/supernatural affairs. Let me know if the comment section below.

Have you check out PBI Case Files? Here's more on the series from my website and you can also view the series on Amazon here.

You can get a pre-order copy of Wicked After Dark, which will have Remote Paranoia as well as 19 other awesome paranormal books from 19 well known, award winning, best selling authors for only $0.99 here.

The best selling, highly rated book titled The Witch's Vampire is on it's quarterly kindle countdown deal this week. While Sophie is grieving the loss of her mother at the hands of cancer she learns she is a witch, worse, she's a healer. Her whole life has been a lie but the surprises continue to roll out as the book progresses.

As her world crashes around her and she tries to figure out how to deal with the constant changes, godly battles, and dangerous dreams she meets her soul mate. A lover from a past life. A gift from the gods. Her vampire prince, Giovanni Mancuso.

One click it today and enjoy this great read. Please be kind and remember to review. Here's the link.

Speaking of reviews, here what others have said about this great book.

"Jami Brumfield has done it again! She has created an alternate world going on right under our noses in her latest novel, The Witch's Vampire. Not content to limit her stories to just the usual witches or vampires, she integrates a vast variety of paranormal and supernatural species that make up a global community living side-by-side with everyday humans. This book adds even a more remarkable twist that offers a far-out theory about the mythical Greek Gods as well. It's a fantastical, yet down to earth mystery, but wouldn't be a romance without a very hot and sexy leading man, er, vampire! And new to the whole witch thing, Sophie Waters, is one spunky, take-no-nonsense leading lady who leads with her heart right into the middle of a very dangerous situation. A great read, and I can't wait for the next one." ~ Journalist and author, Michele Gwynn

"Jami Brumfield reigns supreme in the world of paranormal fiction. I became a fan since Lone Wolf Rising and this book, in a new alternate world setting, does not disappoint. What wasn’t there not to like in The Witch’s Vampire as it included all the elements of a great series, witches, vampires, Greek gods, romance, and one hot guy. Sophie was a character that I just had to love, she had so much energy that she will become a force to be reckoned with. Gio, Izzi takes a deep breath and sighs, why can’t every male character be like him. He’s what most women fantasize about if supernatural entities were to ever come about. Okay, more about the story. I think with the whole integration of the supernatural residing among us is a great concept and Jami delivers the storyline as if we know these characters personally. The development and progress of the story flows along perfectly and unfortunately the end comes along way too quick. I would recommend this book to everyone regardless of their favorite genre. Believe me, once you get hooked onto Ms. Brumfield’s books there is no turning back. I’m looking forward the next and it will not come soon enough." 

"This is the first book that I have read by Jami Brumfield. I liked the relationship dynamics between Gio and Sophie, even though I am not a fan of the New Adult Genre. That alone, says a lot. The author was able to keep me engrossed in the story with the twists and turns she built into the plot. Most new adult authors fail to do this as the relationships progress to annoying love triangles. This is NOT one of those books! Thankfully! I admired Sophie's need to stand on her own two feet and make her way in the world as she saw fit. Unfortunately life and responsibilities get in the way, which is all to common in the real world. I especially liked the mythology and added paranormal elements to this story. Great job!"

"This was my first journey into the mind of Ms. Brumfield, and what a journey it was! We had witches, vamps, Greek Gods and just about every type of paranormal creature you could want. I really connected with witch Sophie and her hunk of vampire hotness Gio and found myself rooting for the two of them. I loved the plot twist on the origins of the Gods and the supernatural creatures them selves. I look forward to reading the next one in this hot new series and would recommend it to my friends."

"I really enjoyed this book. Ms Brumfiled has written an engrossing and intelligent book. The main character, Sophie, takes you on a trip thru her awakenings in her powers, her deep heart, and her love. Witches and Vampires make interesting bedfellows, nasty antagonists, and enough evil to fill my needs. Read this book! Yes, I am a male, and yes many of read these types of books. Love'em."

Dragon Shifter Romance "To Love a Dragon" book one of Shifter Love Tales New Release

Join homicide detective Charity Holiday as she falls in love with her dragon shifter prince, Malick Pendragon. This steamy romance will wet your appetite and quench your thirst for action, love, shifters, and ancient gods who love meddling in human and paranormal affairs. 

The novella was released this week and is already getting some awesome reviews. 

"Exciting use of shifter lore combined with other paranormal beings and ancient gods" ~ Audra Hart, author of the Airendell & Beast Realm Chronicles.
"I truly enjoyed this fast-paced shifter story. The mix of different shifters was fantastic! The action was well-written and exciting, I love the addition of the gods!" ~ Julia Mills, author of the Dragon Guard series. 
Many of my books have the ancient gods playing with fire and meddling.


Charity and Malick's relationship finds a HFN (Happy for now) ending in To Love a Dragon, but certain events that play out in this novella leave the shifters and their mates sterile. It touches on the large issue of infertility which so many couple's face in today's society.

The fertility curse plays a much larger role in book two of the series which centers around the Lion King and his mate, a human fertility specialist which will be coming in the next couple of months. If you enjoy shifter romances you'll love this first book and the ones to follow.

So with this quick introduction I'll leave you with the words from another FIVE star review for this novella.

This book is AWESOME!! I loved it from beginning to the end. It has it all the romance, the shifting, and the mystery!! I fell in love with Charity and Malick who seem to be so well matched but will they be able to lift the curse?? Have to get the next book to find out!!!! ~ Jackie Baker
This book along with the others mentioned in this post are also FREE with Kindle Unlimited. Load up your kindle with some great paranormal reads that will keep you turning the pages and immersing yourself into their dynamic worlds.
