With the help of a journalist who is more than he seems, Lily will risk everything to plunge into the interstellar underworldand bring the love of her life home

Like all Private Detectives, Seamus Lebanon Leb] Magis has often been told to go to Hell. He just never thought he'd actually have to go. But when an old client asks him to investigate why Death Metal bands are dressing in pink - with butterfly mustache clips - and singing about puppies and kittens in a bad imitation of K-pop bands, Leb knows there's something foul in the realm of music. When the something grows to include the woman he fell in love with in kindergarten and a missing six-year-old girl, Leb climbs into his battered Suburban and like a knight of old goes forth to do battles with the legions of Hell. This is when things become insane.... Or perhaps in the interest of truth we should say more insane.

REVENGE IS A MOTHERWhen Owen Pitt and the rest of the Monster Hunter International crew are called away to mount a months-long rescue mission in a monster-infested nightmare dimension, Julie Shackleford—Owen’s wife and descendant of MHI founder Bubba Shackleford—is left behind. Her task: hold down the fort and take care of her new baby son, Ray. But then a routine field call brings her face-to-face with an unspeakable evil calling itself Brother Death. Julie is the Guardian of a powerful ancient artifact known as the Kamaresh Yar, and Brother Death longs for it. In the wrong hands, it could destroy reality as we know it. Julie would die before giving it up. Then little Ray goes missing, taken by Brother Death. The price for his safe return? The Kamaresh Yar. To reclaim her son, Julie Shackleford must fight her way through necromantic death cults, child-stealing monsters, and worse. And she’ll have to do it all before Brother Death can unleash the Kamaresh Yar. It may be one woman against an army of monsters, but Julie Shackleford is no ordinary woman—she’s maybe the toughest mother on the planet!

When Owen Pitt and the rest of the Monster Hunter International crew are called away to mount a month’s-long rescue mission in a monster-infested nightmare dimension, Julie Shackleford—Owen’s wife and descendant of MHI founder Bubba Shackelford—is left behind. Her task: hold down the fort and take care of her new baby son Ray. Julie’s devoted to the little guy, but the slow pace of office work and maternity leave are starting to get to her. But when a routine field call brings her face-to-face with an unspeakable evil calling itself Brother Death, she’ll get more excitement than she ever hoped for. Julie is the Guardian of a powerful ancient artifact known as the Kamaresh Yar, and Brother Death wants it. In the wrong hands, it could destroy reality as we know it. Julie would die before giving it up. Then Ray goes missing, taken by Brother Death. The price for his safe return: the Kamaresh Yar. If Julie doesn’t hand over the artifact it means death—or worse—for baby Ray. With no other choice left to her, Julie agrees to Brother Death’s demands. But when you’re dealing with an ancient evil, the devil is in the details. To reclaim her son, Julie Shackleford will have to fight her way through necromantic death cults, child-stealing monsters, and worse. And she’ll have to do it all before Brother Death can unleash the Kamaresh Yar. It’s one woman against an army of monsters. But Julie Shackelford is no ordinary woman—she’s one tough mother!

DEAD MAN'S REFINISHSome people find antiques. Dyce Dare finds trouble. Ever tried fishing a Victorian sideboard out of a dumpster only to hook a dead body instead? Welcome to Dyce Dare's life, where nothing goes according to plan-and never has. At six, she wanted to be a ballerina (until gravity repeatedly suggested otherwise). At ten, she dreamed of lion taming (until Fluffy the cat staged a mutiny). Now at twenty-nine, she's just trying to keep her furniture refinishing business afloat so she can upgrade her son's diet from "pancakes" to "anything else, please." But when her latest dumpster dive yields a half-melted corpse instead of salvageable furniture, Dyce reluctantly adds "amateur detective" to her lengthy resume of career failures. Because nothing says "responsible single mom" like poking around a murder investigation, right? Between dodging danger, dealing with her quirky neighbors, and trying not to embarrass herself in front of a certain handsome police officer, Dyce is about to discover that her talent for refinishing furniture might just extend to refinishing crime scenes. Dipped, Stripped and Dead - Sometimes the best way to clean up your life is to solve a murder.(Warning: May contain splinters, sarcasm, and one very determined single mom who definitely didn't plan on any of this.)

Arcane AmericaA new world. New magic. New history. After Halley’s Comet was destroyed in a magical battle in 1759, the backlash separated the entire New World from theOld in an event known as The Sundering. Now isolated from the rest of the globe, America has become a very differentplace, where magic works and history has been changed forever. It is 1803—a new 1803. Young Meriwether Lewis, footloose and intrigued, goes to hear a lecture in St. Louis by thevenerated old wizard Benjamin Franklin. Franklin’s talk is disrupted by the attack of a winged fire-breathing beast,much like legends from Lewis’s own Welsh heritage. In the aftermath, Franklin tells the young man that he knows of agreat, growing evil that lurks in the uncharted Arcane Territories west of the Mississippi. Using his own vast fortune, Franklin commissions Lewis and his own talented partner William Clark to embark on aremarkable voyage of exploration, to meet and document the indigenous tribes, to find a route all the way to the PacificOcean—and perhaps beyond the magical veil to Europe again—and to stop the growing evil that is filling theAmerican West. For while the Sundering separated the rest of the world and granted the original colonists unexpectedmagical gifts, sorcery inspired by native legends has also been ignited. And the Arcane Territories may holdunparalleled dangers for the expedition, both natural and magical. Accompanied by the brilliant shape-shifting sorceress Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark set off on an unparalleledadventure across a landscape that no European has ever seen.
