Suburban California mom Kate Connor tried to give up demon hunting for the Vatican after her first husband died. She remarried, had a second child and is trying to live a quiet, normal life. But those pesky demons keep popping up and now daughter Allie has learned Kate's secret and may be following in Mom's footsteps.

Kate finds herself in possession of the Stone of Solomon which has demons trapped inside desperate to get out. Andramelich is just the demon to help his imprisoned, tortured compadres but Kate is really mad that he keeps interrupting her young son's play dates to do so. Allie's new crush, middle school teacher David Long, may or may not be one of the good guys, and Kate quickly realizes, he may or may not be her deceased husband Eric inside a new body.

Kate can't share her extra-marital life with her husband Stuart and when he announces his intensions to run for San Diablo County Attorney Kate doesn't know quite how to tell him she may be a bit busy for the next few days.

The third in a series, Demons are Forever continues to have the perfect balance of tongue-in-check humor, nasty demons and far-fetched situations made believable. Kate does what any good soccer mom would do as she tries to balance her needs with the special needs of each of her children and her husbands as well. The addition of David/Eric to the cast adds another degree of difficulty to Kate's life and his presence promises to be a major ingredient in Kate's continuing saga. A lot of fun, Kate's tales will appeal to readers who like their demons with a good dose of humor.
