Community of York Region) and have watched their list of published novels grow over
the years.

catapulted back into the game, a little fuzzy omen ruined everyone's day.

Book 1: Assassin Eco-Corpses
The D.E.M.ON Agency grew complacent with only minor monsters and
cryptids poking around for over the last year. Charged with the merciless task
of protecting Ontario from the things that go bump in the night, these agents
spent the last hundred years ridding their region of the most bad-ass demons
and monsters alive … or was that dead? At least, that was their M.O. until a
year ago. Now their Duct Cleaning front morphed into more of a full-time gig.
But, when the silent alarm blinks to life in the middle of another
lazy morning all hell breaks loose.

Newbie Nightmares…
Dodge, the illusive missing agent, returns to the

Junior.
Day one goes downhill fast as Dodge and Yoli jump
on a cold case linked to the local Bobcat burglar … and end up in hot
water.

A well-meaning doctor summons a beautiful

banished …

that's left are their livers?

Frost Bitten…
The wonder twins Dodge and Yoli are, unfortunately, the D.E.M.ON. agency’s only hope for discovering the source of a Yeti-iceman’s rampages at a ski resort north of the city. They can’t keep him in permanent puddle-stasis or something else just might blow up in their faces. With the best of the best grappling with portal rifts and a mounting death toll, the young partners need to set their differences aside to handle inter-species and inter-agency diplomacy… neither of which is all it’s cracked up to be. When cold clues heat up on this frigid mission, rules might not be the only things broken when Yoli falls prey to the iceman’s “pet.”
Can the “B” team discover the source of blizzard-man’s terror before Blue Mountain avalanches into a deep freeze?
Dive into the sixth installment of D.E.M.ON. Tales, where Men in
