When Agent Tony Mendoza is tasked with apprehending a deadly supernatural entity, he’ll do whatever it takes to close the case… even risking his humanity in the process! During a routine investigation, Deputy Federal Marshal Tony Mendoza is attacked by a nightmare creature straight out of folklore and mythology. Somehow, Tony survives. But when the U.S. Marshals Service orders him to scrub his report of any mention of the supernatural, he doesn’t take it very well. And when his boss places him on indefinite administrative leave, he’s left feeling betrayed, angry, and frustrated. Soon Mendoza is approached by a shadowy federal law enforcement agency he’s never heard of before. Initially, Tony is skeptical. But when he’s offered the chance to take down the rogue magician who assaulted him, it’s an offer he can’t refuse. With his return to duty, Agent Mendoza will do whatever it takes to bring the murderous magic user to justice. But how far will a good man go to fight the dark? And if in fighting monsters he becomes a monster himself, how much of the man will be left?

This book serves as the main character's origin story, and at 37,000 words it is just under novel length. If you're looking for an epic fantasy length novel, this is not it—these are Doc Savage or The Executioner length stories. Also, the main character is a veteran and a cop. These characters talk like soldiers and cops—they curse. You have been warned.)
Author
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.
