Blood Scent

2017

After the loss of his girlfriend Jesse, druid-trained hunter Colin McCool swore off monster-hunting for good. Now a rogue vampire is killing the weak and defenseless in his city, and no one else seems to care enough to stop him. To end the slaughter, Colin has agreed to take up his sword one last time… but will this “one final job” be the death of him? BLOOD SCENT A Junkyard Druid Urban Fantasy Novella, #1 Colin’s life has finally regained some semblance of normalcy after the death of his girlfriend, Jesse. He no longer hunts supernatural creatures. He has a job working in his uncle’s salvage yard that he enjoys. He’s even planning to start college in the fall. And, he lives inside six acres of scrap iron, steel, and magical wards that keep the fae and other denizens of Austin’s paranormal underworld far, far away from him. Which is just how he likes it. So when he runs across a rogue vampire on the hunt, his first instinct is to report it to the local coven leader and then mind his own business. But Colin just can’t stand aside and watch as innocent people are slaughtered. Which is why he’ll take up his sword one last time, for one final job. But with witches, doppelgangers, and demigods involved, this gig is turning out to be a lot more complicated and dangerous than he expected. Hopefully, this “one last job” won’t truly become his last... (Note to readers: The events in this 30,000 word novella occur before Junkyard Druid. It can be read as a prequel to the Junkyard Druid/Colin McCool New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel Series or as a standalone novella.)

Blood Moon

2022

A female alpha, fighting to save her pack against the odds. Too bad all the werewolves in her pack want her dead... When Fallyn took leadership of the Austin Pack from her father, it was a mutually agreed-upon arrangement. Samson had always planned to hand the reins to her, and all Fallyn ever wanted was to be like her dad. Then the Greek gods placed a curse over the city, and it drove Samson mad. Now the young alpha has the entire Austin Pack hunting her, and they’re out for blood. She’d rather avoid a confrontation and wait it out, because the last thing Fallyn wants is to put down her own dad. But Fallyn’s mother, Leto, thinks the situation has spiraled out of control. That’s why she’s ordered her daughter to deal with it, by any means necessary. Since Leto is the Alpha Prime, it’s an order Fallyn can’t refuse. What’s a girl to do when she’s the daughter of a titan and the meanest alpha on the continent, and things go awry? She’ll absolutely wreck the Greek deity who went after her father, that’s what. Daddy’s little girl is all grown up, and she only has one goal—to bring Samson back from the brink of madness or die trying. When she’s done, the Greek pantheon will know, they should have never messed with Austin’s first female alpha.

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.
