A Dream of Fire is the first book in a new Dragon Queen series. It is unusual because instead of being about someone with magic or power in a world with dragons, it is about the guy with no magic that teaches at a school for magic. Griffin lost his magical parents when he was […]
The NYPD Blue & Gold series continues with Cassie’s old partner, Dom, who is now partnered with her brother, Gray. Cassie and Mike, Alex and Gray, all make brief appearances, with Gray a little more in the story. The setting is NYC and the task force is still chasing the Pyramid assassins who tried to […]
Erich is hiding out in some hole in the wall town, just trying to stay low. He has a past and the last thing he needs is someone digging it up. The best thing about this town is that there are no superheroes running around saving the day. Crime is rampant, which is why he […]
