Gone God World
2016
First the gods left. Then the Others came.
When the gods ditched Earth, the displaced mythical creatures from heaven and hell ended up at my doorstep. To keep my business afloat, I’ve been forced to handle the dramas of folklore and fairytale creatures who are way out of their element. To say these succubi, poltergeists, and angels are out of touch with the mortal way of life would be an understatement.
But preparing my new tenants for the real world is just the start of my problems. An ominous monster has been terrorizing the night and the creature’s bloody deeds are exhuming a past best left dead and buried.
I guess sometimes the dead don’t want to stay buried and the past will dig itself out of a cold grave just to kick you in the nuts.
My name is Jean-Luc Matthias and if my legendary new neighbors don’t kill me first, I might just have a shot at stopping this monster.
GoneGod World is a hilariously dark urban fantasy novel with an imaginative twist. If you like gritty worlds, reimagined mythology, and shadowy mysteries, then you’ll love Ramy Vance’s divinely comedic adventure.

GoneGodWorld, Episode One
2015
The gods are gone. All of them.
Their last message to humanity was: "Thank you for believing in us, but it is not enough. We're leaving. Good luck." At first no one took them seriously. Until, that is, all the denizens of all the heavens and hells started showing up on people's doorsteps.
Creatures that were once thought of as myth are now refugees striving to adapt to life on earth. Trouble is, after eons of living forever, they're not very good at being mortal.
Caught in the middle is Jean-Luc, a struggling hotelier who (reluctantly) promised to help these wayward 'Others' live in this new GoneGod world. But taking care of his guests, keeping his hotel afloat and dealing with the constant drama of the Others' lives is figuratively killing him. And now that an unusually strange Other is in town, his figurative demise might soon become more literal.

Keep Evolving
2016
When the gods departed, they left behind their WMDs: Weapons of Mass Destruction—or rather, ATDs: Apocalypses of Total Destruction. Since the gods left, mythical creatures have been forced to take refuge on Earth, dependent on the goodwill of humans. The trouble is, most humans don't have all that much goodwill.
Then there's me, a struggling human hotelier who promised to help these wayward “Others” live in this new GoneGod World. It's a promise that just might get me killed. In the past year, my hotel has been blown up, my best friend (an alcoholic angel) picked a fight with a myth-hating gang and, oh yeah, the world almost ended—again.
But things are finally starting to look up for me. I got a date with Medusa—yeah, that Medusa. And despite the legend, she’s gorgeous—and my hotel has just been booked for the biggest blowout event of the century. All I want to do is help Others, and for once it seems I’m getting exactly what I want.
Sadly, my unusually good fortune takes a turn for the worse when one of my demigod guests accidentally sets off the apocalypse. And by apocalypse, I mean end-of-the-world, everyone-dies-in-flames kind of thing.
My name is Jean-Luc Matthias and I’m about to face off against Ragnarok, Revelations and a creature I’m pretty sure is the Kraken.
All in a day’s work in Paradise Lot.

Crystal Dreams
2017
I used to think the apocalypse was the worst thing that could happen … boy, was I wrong.
When a six year old girl stomps her way into my hotel lobby claiming to be Sinbad the Pirate on an important mission, I’m drawn into a complex plot designed to fuel hatred between humans and Others. At the heart of it is a power-struggle between a racist politician, an activist ex-god and an infamous arms dealer by the name of Mr. Cain (yup—that Cain).
My name is Jean-Luc Matthias, and if I can’t help Sinbad with her mission, the world will be drawn into a war unlike anything seen in Heaven, Hell or on Earth.
