Urban fantasy writer Faith Hunter is the award-winning New York Times and USAToday bestselling author of multiple series: In addition to the Soulwood and Jane Yellowrock books, she also has the fantasy series Rogue Mage, and the dystopian-esque sci-fi series Junkyard Cats. Her fiction has also appeared in anthologies like The Monster Hunter Files (also with Jim Butcher, Maurice Broaddus, Jonathan Maberry, and more); Strange Brew (also with Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, and more); Kicking It (also with Chloe Neill, Kalayna Price, Rachel Caine, and more), among others.
Hunter also coauthored a Role Playing Game. She has also written lots of thrillers under the pen names Gary Hunter and Gwen Hunter. Altogether she has 40+ books and dozens of short stories in print and is juggling multiple projects.
“The interesting thing about writing the fantasy field is that not only do you have to use all of the devices and concepts that are used in ‘higher literature’—and I will put that in quotes—you also have to keep a world-building straight and use the world-building,” the author told Monster Complex when we talked to Hunter about her Jane Yellowrock series. “You’re doing twice as much as a writer who just writes literary fiction. Because you’re adding in a completely different paranormal world, and that paranormal world comes with its own problems and negatives and positives. And instead of this paranormal element being a magic wand or a light switch or—flip!—everything solved, everything has a price. So the use of magic is its own un-reward. There’s always a price.”

Soulwood Novel Series by Faith Hunter | Titles in Order
In this series set in the same world as the Jane Yellowrock novels, Nell Ingram wields powers as old as the earth…
When Nell Ingram met skinwalker Jane Yellowrock, she was almost alone in the world, exiled by both choice and fear from the cult she was raised in, defending herself with the magic she drew from her deep connection to the forest that surrounds her.
Now, Jane has referred Nell to PsyLED, a Homeland Security agency policing paranormals, and agent Rick LaFleur has shown up at Nell’s doorstep. His appearance forces her out of her isolated life into an investigation that leads to the vampire Blood Master of Nashville.
Nell has a team—and a mission. But to find the Master’s kidnapped vassal, Nell and the PsyLED team will be forced to go deep into the heart of the very cult Nell fears, infiltrating the cult and a humans-only terrorist group before time runs out…
Before Nell Ingram met skinwalker Jane Yellowrock, she had no one to rely on, finding strength only in her arcane connection to the dark woods around her. But now she has friends in the newly formed PsyLED team to keep her grounded—even if being part of the agency responsible for policing paranormals comes with dangers of its own.
After training at the PsyLED academy, Nell returns home to her woods to find the land feeling sick and restless. And that sickness is spreading. With the help of her team, under the leadership of agent Rick LaFleur, Nell tries to determine the cause. But nothing can prepare them for the evil that awaits: an entity that feeds on death itself. And it wants more…
Nell Ingram has always known she was different. Since she was a child, she’s been able to feel and channel ancient powers from deep within the earth. When she met Jane Yellowrock, her entire life changed, and she was recruited into PsyLED—the Homeland Security division that polices paranormals. But now her newly formed unit is about to take on its toughest case yet.
A powerful senator barely survives an assassination attempt that leaves many others dead—and the house he was visiting burns to the ground. Invisible to security cameras, the assassin literally disappears, and Nell’s team is called in. As they track a killer they know is more—or less—than human, they unravel a web of dark intrigue and malevolent motives that tests them to their limits and beyond…
Nell can draw magic from the land around her, and lately she’s been using it to help the Psy-Law Enforcement Division, which solves paranormal crimes. Joining the team at PsyLED has allowed her to learn more about her powers and the world she always shunned–and to find true friends.
Head agent Rick LaFleur shifts into a panther when the moon calls him, but this time, something has gone wrong. Rick calls Nell from a riverbank–he’s naked, with no memory of how he came to be there, and there’s a dead black cat, sacrificed in a witch circle and killed by black magic, lying next to him.
Then more animals turn up dead, and team rushes to investigate. A blood-witch is out to kill. But when it seems as if their leader is involved in the crime, the bonds that hold the team together could shatter at any moment…
Spells for the Dead (Soulwood #5)
Nell Ingram faces a dark magic with no known origin...
Nell is a rookie PsyLED agent, using the powers she can channel from deep within the earth to solve paranormal crimes. Together with her team, she’s taken on the direst magic and the most twisted foes. But she’ll need to tap into every ounce of power she has for her newest case.
Nell is called to the Tennessee mansion of a country music star and finds a disturbing scene—dead bodies rapidly decaying before everyone’s eyes. The witch on her team, T. Laine, has never seen magic that can steal life forces like this.
PsyLED needs to find this lethal killer fast. But when a paranormal-hating FBI agent tries to derail the investigation, and the dark magics begin to spiral out of control, they find themselves under attack from all sides…
Rift in the Soul (Soulwood #6)
Nell Ingram and her team face a dire, supernatural evil....
Nell Ingram draws her powers from deep in the earth, and uses them to help Psy-LED, the Psychometric Law Enforcement Division, which solves paranormal crimes. When a local vampire calls to report a dead body on her compound, Nell knows she and her team have to be ready for anything.
But the dead body is just the beginning of a mystery that involves supernaturals of all kinds, including some of the most powerful vampires in the country. As Nell gets closer to the truth, she begins to understand that the perpetrator is tracking her too—and that there is something personal about this crime. Something with roots that go almost as deep as those in Soulwood…
