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.

Graveyard Druid

2017

Colin McCool here, otherwise known as the Junkyard Druid. Not my favorite title, but since it’s my only title I guess I’m stuck with it. But hey, things are looking up. Sure, a powerful and sentient magical artifact may have taken up residence inside my skull, and I’m still burdened with a nasty curse cast by an ancient sorceress of the Tuatha Dé Danann… ...but I’m trying really hard to look on the bright side of things. Seeing as how I’ve been dragged back into the world of the fae, I figure I may as well be of use. And if I can make a little scratch while using my druidic talents for good and not evil, so much the better. Which is why I took this job working for Austin’s vampire coven, cleaning up a ghoul infestation at the city cemetery. It’s not their work and they don’t want the heat, so they hired me to take care of it before it gets out of hand. Easiest. Job. Ever. I’ll just whack a few ghouls, hide the bodies, and collect my fee. I mean, seriously—what could possibly go wrong?

We rescued the kids, killed the ringleaders, and everyone was supposed to live happily ever after. But as it turns out, that only happens in fairy tales. Because when you’re dealing with the Fae I know, there’s always another nightmare waiting in the wings. Now I’m traveling into the belly of the beast—straight into Underhill, the mystical realm of the Fae. And to pay for my passage to and from the Faery lands, I’ll have to do something no one has ever done before. I’m going to steal the source of magic that powers Underhill itself. All I have to do is get to Underhill, steal a few uber-powerful magical relics from some Celtic gods, rescue the remaining children the Fae abducted, and get us all home in one piece. Oh, and I also have to outsmart Maeve, Austin’s local faery queen… because I know she’s not helping me travel to Underhill out of the goodness of her heart. Piece of cake, right? Yeah, right.

That being said, it’s still wrong—so it is my duty to put a stop to it. The only problem is, I’m not the same druid who went to Underhill and lived. My Hyde-side is getting out of control again, and if I get in a tight spot I can’t take the risk of letting him out to save my skin.

Druid Arcane

2020

When his ancient druid master falls critically ill, Colin goes on a plane-walking quest to find a cure. Can the journeyman druid rescue the god of healing in time to save his oldest friend? I thought that learning magic from a druid master was tough, but that was before I started taking lessons from an insane quasi-god. For six long months I’ve been suffering under Click’s tutelage, boning up on my magic skills so I can survive the wrath of several Celtic gods and find a cure for my druid mentor, Finnegas. It’s my fault that the old man is hanging on by a thread, and I’m determined to save his life. Between surviving Click’s batshit crazy magic lessons and being harassed by the huldufólk, I’ve been trying to track down the Celtic god of healing. Only Dian Cécht can heal my master—and, he’s the only god Click trusts to do the trick. Unfortunately, DC has been damned hard to find. And just when we finally got a solid lead, Loki’s brother showed up to throw a wrench in the gears. Okay, so I may have killed Loki’s nephew. It’s not like he didn’t have it coming. Bottom line? I might have to fight an army of fire and frost giants to save Finn’s life. It’s a good thing I brought my wading boots, ‘cause shit’s about to get deep…

Druid Master

2020

Two murderous Celtic goddesses… a journeyman druid on the run… and a sealed grimoire that holds the key to his survival. Can Colin unlock it in time to save the people he loves? Colin McCool here, junkyard druid and trouble magnet extraordinaire. Recently, I fought the giant king of Jotunheim in a bid to save my druid master’s life. I failed in that task—now it’s up to me to keep druidry alive. Problem is, the Mórrígan and her sorceress sidekick Fuamnach are out to erase me from the face of the earth. Sheesh, you steal a few enchanted relics, kill a couple of boyfriends, and suddenly two goddesses want your head on a platter. Go figure. If I can’t unlock the grimoire my druid master left me, those fae femme fatales are going to rake me over the coals—probably for several long, painful centuries. And if I don’t give myself up, they’ve promised to go after everyone who helped me along the way. I’m tired of running, and I’m sick of seeing the people I love pay for my beef with the gods. So, it’s time to make my final stand. The question is, do I have what it takes to unlock the secrets to druid mastery? And will that be enough to stop two of the most powerful goddesses in the Celtic pantheon from destroying me, and everything I hold dear?

One druid against the apocalypse. Hell on earth doesn’t stand a chance. Now that I’ve dealt with Badb and proven to the Celtic gods that I’m a force to be reckoned with, it’s time to address some unfinished business... The Hellpocalypse.

Besides, it’s my fault that the Hellpocalypse exists, so it’s my responsibility to fix it. Of course, this time it’ll be different. When Gwydion stranded me there, I had no warning or time to prepare. But for cripes’ sake, I’m a master druid now—a little ol’ paranormal apocalypse will be a cake walk. I’ll just zip in, kill some master vampires, stop the spread of the vyrus, and be back in time for dinner with my girlfriend. In short?

But this time, he's hunting a shadow—an ancient practitioner who's found a way to twist reality itself...I've decided to resurrect a god. Not by necromancy, mind you—I'm not the Dark Druid, after all. But someone's determined to stop me, and they're willing to break the very laws of magic to do it. As the last master druid on Earth, I should know better than to mess with divine affairs. But when the Celtic gods offer me a deal—find the ancient sorcerer warping reality, and they'll give me the means to bring back the only deity who can complete my training—how can I refuse? Except I'm facing an enemy who can literally change how magic works. My druidic abilities, the very powers I've spent years honing, are becoming unpredictable. My allies are getting nervous. And the clock is ticking. I've faced vampires, fae, and angry gods before, but I've never encountered power like this. How do you fight someone who can shatter the fundamental rules of sorcery? I have no idea, but I guess there's only one way to find out... The gods should know better than to send Colin McCool on a holy mission. But when the fate of magic itself hangs in the balance, sometimes you need a battle druid who doesn't play by the rules.

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.
