I have since dropped her, but unwakingwaters wrote a series of YA fantasy novels called The Starheart Key. These novels follow the adventures of some elemental-themed Jedi Knights spell-slinging swordspersons who gain their powers from magical keys with the ability to unlock the hearts of stars. You can read more about it, and her other novels, in this post.
There was a JRPG adaptation of Starheart Key in the 1990s, but it's sort of obscure.
City of Broken Glass series: Need an expy for The Dresden Files? This is a series of urban fantasy novels set in 1920s New York City starring a witch, Henrietta Codex, who really hates her job. She solves magical mysteries with the help of a generally polite but somewhat overly literal earth spirit who lives in a wooden idol. Henrietta is black, and has problems in 1920s NYC because of this. Woo.
