Cris and Clare Meyers

Cris and Clare Meyers are co-authors of urban fantasy. A pair of former English majors that got married shortly after graduating, they’ve been avid readers all their lives, and writers for over half that. In 2015, they took a path that some might call crazy and decided to write a series together.
Playing with Fire, their debut novel and the first in the Criminal Elements series, was released in 2016. A blend of magic, shapeshifting, and the thrill of the heist, the series features a band of criminals who play by a supernatural set of rules. In a business where stealing, lying, and danger are normal, magic ups the ante.

Playing With Fire (Book 1 of the Criminal Elements Series)
|
Urban Fantasy
The rules are simple: Get in. Get out. Get paid. Loner Renee Devereaux is a thief with a lot to hide, and trust is a risk she rarely takes. Stone Anders is a mercenary and hitman, but being a hired killer isn’t fitting like it used to. But while they are criminals, they are anything but common. Renee and Stone are Talents, and their supernatural powers give them an edge in a high stakes business where one wrong move could be their last. It’s always just one job, and everyone scatters—sometimes in less than favorable circumstances. For Renee and Stone, that’s business as usual. But things change. A chance at revenge draws Renee and Stone into a job they know they shouldn’t take. The job: Steal a dangerous magical artifact before it can be used. Along with the deadline, they’ll have to deal with a loudmouth hacker with problematic connections, a rookie who still believes in ‘right’ and ‘wrong,’ and a professional liar with a cat’s curiosity. Worse, something just doesn’t feel right. But this is their job. They have a reputation to maintain, a paycheck to earn, and a score to settle…

Fly by Night (Book 2 of the Criminal Elements Series)

Urban Fantasy
The game has changed. Rook is a wisecracking hacker, a shapeshifter who prefers the name ‘were-crow,’ and former underling to a Talented crime boss. But as supernatural powers go, he’s no heavy hitter. After a job blew up in his face, Rook thought the worst thing he’d have to deal with was criminal unemployment. But when he starts losing his mind to mysterious voices, being broke takes a backseat. And once his apartment goes up in smoke, Rook knows he’s in trouble. Out of his depth and trying to dig his way out of a hole not entirely of his own making, Rook must put his survival—and his sanity—in the hands of people who have their own mysterious reasons for helping him. With trust in short supply and time ticking down, Rook will need to find a way to make this uneasy alliance work before even more of his life goes up in flames.
