Overview: Writing fiction is career number three or so for Becky R. Jones. She’s worked as a secretary in the world of Wall Street, built sets for TV pilots and shows, been an admin assistant for a mobile home park management company, built airplanes, and finally went back to school to get an MA and PhD in political science. Through it all she read fantasy, science fiction, and anything else she could get her hands on – cereal boxes included. Reading provides an escape, laughter, tears, and different perspectives on life.
After 20+ years teaching in different parts of the country, Becky realized that faculty politics had lost their allure and fled academia. She decided to try her hand at telling stories like the ones she loved to read. "Academic Magic" was her first work of fiction, quickly followed by a number of short stories, and the next two books in the "Academic Magic" series. She currently lives in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area with her husband and two cats.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
#1 – Academic Magic
Zoe O’Brien has found her dream job at a small liberal arts college teaching the history of Medieval witchcraft and magic. Academic life is exactly what she expected it to be…until the squirrels stop by to talk with her and her department chair and best friend turn out to be mages.
Zoe discovers a world of magic and power she never knew existed. She and other faculty mages race to stop a coven from raising a demon on the winter solstice while simultaneously grading piles of final exams and reading the tortured prose of undergraduate term papers. Can Zoe master her new-found powers in time?
#2 – Night Mage
After fighting a demon in the middle of Philadelphia, Zoe O’Brien wants nothing more than to return to her normal, if stress-filled, life as an assistant professor of history at Summerfield College. But she’s an Elemental mage and that means when there’s potential magical trouble on campus, the squirrels come to her. Who or what is the dark presence moving around campus? Why is it here and what does it want? Zoe struggles to come to terms with her mage powers and the leadership role her colleagues have given her. Complicating everything are all the papers that have to be graded, classes that need to be prepped, and most importantly, cats that require attention. Oh, yeah. She might actually have a boyfriend as well.
#3 – Magic Abroad
Zoe O’Brien is very much looking forward to teaching summer school and tracking down fairy tales in Ireland. Her hopes for a quiet, academic summer are squashed when the dolphins tell her there’s something wrong in the Aran Islands, and her students are stalked by a… something before disappearing. There’s also the possibility that the slightly creepy guy at the train station is her father. So much for a quiet research-filled summer!
Now Zoe is in a race to find her students and help stop an invasion of Ireland by creatures out of myth and legend. The amount of magic in Ireland stuns Zoe. Are the ancient gods of Ireland returning to fight their enemies in the middle of her research? And what does the Morrígan want with Zoe?
