Hounding the Moon is the first Tess Noncoire adventure.

Tess Noncoire is a fantasy writer.. When her new husband is killed in a motel fire, she is rejected by his family, is infected by imp disease, is saved by The Sisters of the Celestial Blade, trained in martial arts to find demons and is kicked out to go back into the “real World” with her own imp companion, Scrap. And this is just in the beginning. She goes back to writing fantasy, book signings, and conventions while trying to save the world from a demon invasion, and a native American girl who must resume the weaving of the world s continuation.

This is a seamless blending of fantasy, mystery, and humor that keeps the reader in thrall, unable to put it down. It concludes with the lyrics of a great filk song, There’s a Bimbo on the Cover of My Book. This is a gotta have book and your reviewer wants every one that comes out.. But get your own, you can’t have mine. - Pam Allan
