“Dora popped up in my head one day as an idea for another story that I was working on,” Chilton said to Fang-Freaking-Tastic Reviews, sharing the origin of the lead character from the Demon Diaries series. “She wasn’t right as the side character that I’d originally intended her to be, but the idea of her was so strong, I just knew I had to write her a story of her own. Usually, I just get an idea for a story. A ‘what if’, which is the story idea. Then I form the characters around that idea. The character’s then develop from there. But with Dora, she appeared first, and she demanded a story.”

The Demon Diaries series
A Hint of Magic: Bewitched by Magic (The Demon Diaries #1)
The Demon Diaries is a darkly funny young adult series that combines Good Omens-style wit with urban fantasy stories similar to Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series to create an enthralling paranormal series that you won’t be able to put down.
She’s looking for a hint of magic in her world...
Dora Carridine is fed up with her life as a preacher’s daughter and sets out to explore the darker side of life instead. If she can find some magic in the world, then maybe she will find a place she belongs.
When she comes across a coven of witches, she takes on their trials to try and join them. But the witches aren’t all they appear to be, and Dora finds herself slipping into a darker world than she imagined.
She has to make a choice to do the right thing, but Dora’s never been very good at doing anything right…
“Wildly, bizarrely, brain-punchingly inventive!” (Derek Landy, bestselling author of Skulduggery Pleasant)

Demonic Dora: Bewitched in Hell (The Demon Diaries #2)
She’s finally managed to summon her first demon...
Dora Carridine is trying to summon a demon, but she’s not very good at Latin and nothing ever works out the way she plans. Her life is fraught with weekly exorcisms and having to watch her father’s fire and brimstone TV show every Sunday. So, when Dora finally succeeds in summoning an incompetent demon lord, she’s absolutely delighted when all hell breaks loose.
She thought summoning a sexy demon lord would be the answer to all her problems, but her problems are only just beginning when her zealot parents try to burn her at the stake, and Dora is left with only one option—to escape and follow her demon straight into Hell.
“This book wasn’t entirely what I expected. It was freaking hilarious.” (Fang-Freaking-Tastic Reviews)
Deceased Dora: Bewitched in Death (The Demon Diaries #3)
After being expelled from Hell, she woke up in her own coffin...
When Dora Carridine wakes up in her coffin, the first thing she plans to do is find out what happened to her friends since they were also exiled from Hell. But Dora didn’t come back entirely human, and everyone keeps trying to kill her.
If she manages to avoid being bitten by an over-amorous, Victorian vampire, being captured by the Vatican and being roasted alive by her neighbors, then hopefully she can find Kieron and find out what she really is.
But first, she has to put an end to an ancient war amongst the paranormal beings on Earth. How hard can that be?
Divine Dora: Bewitched in Heaven (The Demon Diaries #4)
Heaven just turned out to be worse than Hell!
After being killed, Dora Carridine was shipped off to Heaven. But she’s not ready to give up her life just yet, especially not when it means spending eternity in angel boot camp.
She does everything in her power to try to get home, but nothing works. Even if she manages to escape Camp Angel and survive the sadistic drill sergeant, she still doesn’t know how to get her body back.
Powerless and alone, she decides that there is only one thing she can do. Dora has to find God and hope he’s not a sanctimonious dick.
A Hint of Hell: Bewitched by Christmas (The Demon Diaries #5)

He’s just failed at being evil...
Kieron Lascher thought his life as a minor demon lord in Hell couldn't get any worse, but when he fails his exams and is sent into another realm as punishment by his parents, he realizes that there are worse places than Hell. With deadly beasts and evil Satan Claws roaming the frosty land, Kieron has to fight to survive. With the help of a banished succubus, he learns that he needs to find the missing codex to gain some power.
If he manages to take out Satan Claws and learn pure evil, he might be able to open a portal and go back home. But first, he has to master being truly evil to some cute little elves. That won't be difficult for a demon lord, right?
