But Dinas inn is a magic, thinking entity; her fluffy Shih-tzu, Beast really is a beast; and her guests are the kind that no one on earth is supposed to know about: guests like a dethroned galactic tyrant with a massive bounty on her head, the Lord Marshal of a powerful vampire clan, and a displacedand superhotalpha-strain werewolf. So dont expect a normal stayand dont stand too close, or you may be collateral damage In "Clean Sweep," Dinawith the unwanted assistance of newcomer (and alpha werewolf) Sean Evans and Arland, a cosmic vampire soldiertakes on an extraterrestrial killing machine that could destroy her Inn, her neighbors, and everything she holds dear."Sweep in Peace," finds Dina hosting an anything-but peace summit between three warring intergalactic species; Space Vampires, the Hope-Crushing Horde, and the devious Merchants of Baha-char. "One Fell Sweep" sends Dina to the galaxys worst penal colony to rescue her sister; and back home to fend off a clan of assassins in pursuit, all while saving a guests civilization from annihilationand searching for her missing parents.
