Excuse my electronic dust!! I’m currently trying to make this website look a little less horrible and a whole lot more fancy schmancy. So, please forgive any non-linky links and don’t worry about rushing to the optometrist if anything looks weird. Well, weirder than normal. Cheers!

In case you somehow randomly landed here and don’t know who I am, I’m Tammie Painter, author of humorous fantasy whodunits full of mythical misfits and murderous mayhem.

Welcome to my fancy schmancy website where you can learn more about me and my books than you’d ever care to know.

And by fancy schmancy, I mean, just look at this thing! It’s got a My Books page with quite a few of my novels (because it would be weird to have someone else’s), an About page featuring a bio I really ought to update, and a Contact Me page that the spam bots just ADORE!!

It’s even got a way to whisk you off to my (also fancy schmancy) Payhip Bookstore, where you can shop directly from me and feel amazing that you’re supporting an indie author.

And, for those of you more in the I’m-just-here-for-freebies mood, there’s a page for that too.

Gads! This thing’s got more features than that House of the Future I once saw in a Bugs Bunny cartoon!

If you want some hints of where to start your explorations, there’s some Breaking News sort of stuff just a wee bit further down.

After perusing that, I’d suggest popping on over to that Books page. Mainly because it was really tricky to get all the book covers arranged to my liking, so it’d be nice to know that effort hasn’t gone to waste.

Alright, I’ll leave you to it. Cheers!

A New Trilogy is on Its Way!

Coming at you 14 August if you pre-order on my Payhip Bookstore or 18 August if you pre-order elsewhere

    Death needed a vacation. What he got was a murder, a demon, and a 73-year-old detective with no time for any of it.

    Death Takes a Holiday is a humorous fantasy novel about the most inconvenient partnership in the history of the afterlife, where a pair of unlikely allies are thrown together by broken bones, murder mysteries, pesky demons, and the deadliest cup of coffee in Portland.

    Like Terry Pratchett joining the Thursday Murder Club, Death Takes a Holiday is perfect for fans of wry humor, paranormal mystery, and unforgettable characters forming reluctant bonds.


    New Release! Well, sort of…

    BOOKS 4, 5 & 6 of THE CASSIE BLACK TRILOGY ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN ONE HANDY-DANDY BOXSET!

    It’s 1000+ pages of laugh-snort comic fantasy, unforgettable characters, and magic-filled mystery.

    If you like contemporary fantasy filled with wry humor, paranormal mystery, bad-tempered sourdough starter, and diabolical office chairs, you’ll find it hard to pry yourself away from the Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0.


    Be sure to catch up with Duncan in his 6th mysterious misadventure!

    RECENT RELEASE!

    • A crime boss with a secret.
    • A swoon-inducing thief.
    • A heist that turns deadly.

    It might be the perfect case for Duncan, but he’s really just in town for the omelets.


    Bernard and His Accidents is a humorous tale of three fairies, one crown, and a wee bit of regicide.
