Coupling, Duos, Twinning, Better Together and Funny Too

What is is about humor and paranormal that go so well together? I remember watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and never knowing whether I'd be scared near to thumb sucking or get to giggle like a ninny. Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series and Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series perpetually find ways to make me laugh, while going for a kitchen knife (as protection against the darkness...you know, just in case). Ooh, and the inate sense of humor in the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning gets me going with each read. The hero, Jericho Barrons, is dark, gorgeous, and occasionally hilarious. Pardon me while I "woo hoo!"

There are three things ever present in my writing: action, the supernatural, and humor. Without doubts these are my favorite story elements, yet there are two things always present, even in my more cerebral tales: humor and the paranormal. Oh, and a hot hero/antagonist or two (yep, you read that right). 

 

My books Keeper of the Way and Chaos Tryst go well together in that sense. Keeper is both funny and dark, with a fabulous hero. While Chaos is pure humor and escapism, with an equally fabulous hero. If you're curious, you don't have to decide between the two. Keeper of the Way is FREE from Amazon for two more days and Chaos Tryst is only $3. It's kinda a twofer. Check them out. I'd luv to hear what you think.

And I have one more question.

How about you, which books, series, or TV shows do you think best combine humor and paranormal?
