Best-selling urban fantasy and paranormal suspense author M.D. Massey invites readers back to the world of the Junkyard Druid for his second short story collection! This 35,000 word volume features even more characters from the Colin McCool series, starring in three separate novelette-length stories: Old Ghosts When Colin plants a tree to commemorate a fallen friend, he discovers that a gift from a Celtic god can be a blessing and a curse both… and that some old ghosts are best left to the grave. The Goblin King Simon “Derp” Martin just wants to be taken seriously by everyone—and most especially by his idol, the druid Colin McCool. So when he sees a chance to impress his would-be mentor in all things mystical, Derp jumps at the opportunity… evil clown gods be damned. Going Under Hemi Waara isn’t any normal Maori warrior—he’s the son of the goddess of death and night. When he dies and gets sent to the Maori underworld, his only worry is making it back to his mother’s realm so she can resurrect him. But, the evil gods of the underworld have other plans...

I write urban fantasy, paranormal suspense, and dark fantasy novels. My first series, THEM, is a jaunt through a post-apocalyptic central Texas where the dead walk, and vampires, werewolves and other unsavory creatures roam the night. It has elements of the zompoc genre, dark fantasy, and military survival fiction. My goal with this series was to give readers the same excitement I get from reading books by Larry Correia, Jonathan Maberry, and J.L. Bourne. On the other hand, my Colin McCool series falls squarely between urban fantasy and paranormal suspense. Colin's world is full of magic, mystery, and folklore come to life. I wrote this series because I love reading books by authors like Patricia Briggs, Kevin Hearne, Jim Butcher, and Neil Gaiman. And, like most authors, I try to write stories that I would enjoy reading. I currently live in the Hill Country near Austin, Texas, which is where much of my fiction is set. Most days you can find me in a local coffee shop or in my office working on my next book, or in my garage pummeling inanimate objects.
