About the Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom series

Series Premise

Kate Connor, a former elite demon-hunter for a secret Vatican-affiliated organization, retired 15 years ago to marry, have kids, and live a normal suburban life. She now spends her days as a soccer mom, PTA volunteer, and wife in suburban San Diablo, California. When demons start showing up in her quiet neighborhood, Kate is forced to dust off her old skills (swords, holy water, martial arts, Latin exorcisms) to protect her family and community. Each book features a new demonic threat — possessions, ancient curses, hellspawn invasions, or supernatural assassins — while Kate juggles soccer practice, carpools, school events, marriage tension, and the constant risk of her secret life being exposed.

Main Characters

> Kate Connor — Protagonist; mid-30s–40s, former elite demon-hunter turned soccer mom. Skilled fighter, quick-witted, and fiercely protective; balances demon-slaying with family life. Sarcastic, resourceful, and deeply loving.
> Stuart Connor — Kate’s husband; supportive, clueless about her past (at first), and a loving dad. Later becomes more involved in her secret life.
> Allie Connor — Kate’s teenage daughter; smart, rebellious, and eventually discovers her mother’s secret and her own latent powers.
> Timmy Connor — Kate’s young son; innocent, energetic, and often the emotional stake.
> Father Corlett — Kate’s Vatican contact; wise, gruff priest who occasionally sends missions or warnings.
> Laura — Kate’s best friend and neighbor; normal suburban mom who provides comic relief and grounding.
> Various demons — Change per book; grotesque, cunning, and often humorous in their evil schemes.

Setting

Modern-day suburban Southern California, primarily the fictional town of San Diablo (a stand-in for a sunny, middle-class coastal suburb):
> Typical family home, soccer fields, grocery stores, PTA meetings, and neighborhood streets.
> Hidden supernatural underbelly: demonic possessions, portals to hell, ancient artifacts in everyday places.
> Occasional trips to Los Angeles or Vatican-related locations.
The atmosphere is sunny, ordinary suburban life — minivans, soccer games, carpools — suddenly interrupted by demonic chaos.

Tone & Themes

Light-hearted, humorous, and empowering — urban fantasy with a strong comedic edge. The tone is witty, irreverent, and fast-paced, full of snarky inner monologues, slapstick action, and laugh-out-loud moments amid demon-slaying. It balances genuine danger (demonic attacks, family peril) with warmth, family love, and self-deprecating humor. The series never takes itself too seriously; it celebrates a kick-ass mom who can save the world and still make it to soccer practice on time — fun, empowering, and feel-good despite the occasional gore.

The series is beloved for its perfect mix of suburban mom humor, kick-ass action, heartfelt family moments, and light supernatural stakes — ideal for fans of humorous paranormal cozies like Molly Harper, Kim Harrison, or Angie Fox. It has mild-to-moderate violence (demon battles) and light romance (mostly sweet and married-couple focused). It remains a longtime favorite in the paranormal cozy/urban fantasy genre.
