When Hale Burch lost both his legs and an arm at the height of the West Battery War, he doubted if he’d even make it to rehab, much less back to the Service of the Lettered Systems he’d sworn to defend. But this new chapter in his life was destined to be far different from anything he’d bargained for. Alongside the galaxy’s most unlikely gang of compatriots, Burch was about to partake in missions he couldn’t possibly have fathomed.

Sergeant Gastovsky—Gas to everyone but his superior officers—never wanted to be a soldier. Far from it. But when a con goes wrong and he needs a place to lay low for a while, he finds himself wearing the power armor of the augmented infantry. After three years on a six-year contract, Gas has found his groove running low-level cons and various illegal activities that make him good money on the side. He’s the guy who can get you what you need. But he’s always had his eye out for a big score—the one that might set him up for life after the military.

When Josh Underwood is thrown through a wormhole and lands on an unfamiliar world, he is immediately attacked by flesh-eating worms and snarling wolves. He has one huge advantage. A ring sits on his finger, but it's no ordinary ring. It's alien tech designed to improve its host’s strength, speed, agility, durability and combat instinct. Not all boons are infinitely wondrous. This tech has to understand what Josh needs for it to evolve, and time is of the essence.

The weirdness level of my life has reached an all-time high. Which is saying something, considering I started out as a psychic conman and somehow ended up as a MagiPol agent. And not just any agent. Lately, I've been Captain Blythe's right-hand man and most trusted confidant.

Betrayed by goblins, attacked by ogres, vampires and the undead, they survived everything the Hangsane mountains could throw at them. But can Josh and his Misfits go all the way? Can they defeat the dread Grillons that followed him through spacetime? Will they fall at the last hurdle? And what is Vella’s true purpose?

With Ravenheart defeated and his regal duties done, Josh and his lovely misfits return to their idyllic home nestled in the shadows of the Hangsane. Will they hang up their weapons, end their monster-hunting days, and settle down for a cozy slice of farming life like so many heroes? Absolutely not!

Josh yearns for a smidge of peace and quiet, but Mythelore has other ideas. Cassandra must learn to control her magic before she accidentally casts a world ending spell, and there is only one person who can help her. They must travel to the Elven land of Alianthia to seek out the old harmonic Simmalion—a handy coincidence as that is where the healer, Vella, comes from.

Candour, the mysterious spymaster, has devious plans and Melody Delaney is about to throw a spanner in the works with her volatile temper along with her undying devotion to her friends. Where there’s trouble, there’s also opportunity. If Josh can persuade her to join his team, she would add a new dimension to their monster hunting capabilities. If only Josh could navigate the perilous water of Mythelore’s political houses while adding to his team, he might still get his dream.

The Hangsane are coming at Josh and the Misfits like a raging beast, and it's relentless. Having discovered the lost city of Telemar and found the Angel Stone, they find themselves trapped in the drow castle. If they can break free, they’ll have to fight their way across the mountains.

We were the tip of the spear, until we got too old for combat. Then we went private. Yeah, we’re older and slowing down a bit. But we’re still deadly. They took one of our family’s father. Kidnapped him, and that was a bad mistake. We work for money. But this one was personal. We were going up against the Mexican Cartel, at least a part of it. We were a ragtag handful of vagabond soldiers of fortune. The odds were greatly stacked against us. But some things are worth protecting.

When Bez surprises Wally with an anniversary trip to a special event hosted by the Fae, Wally is presented with a chance to work on rare artifacts belonging to a Fae noble. However, Bez learns the Fae may be connected to the recent abductions of fellow demons, allowing them to crossover into various Hell dimensions-and threatening to expose his secret.

The Beaverton High School Breakfast Club show up for what they thought would be cleaning the locker room with a toothbrush when the morning goes horribly wrong, and they fall victim to a deadly, dark spell. Some jerkwad moon mage shoves the consciousness of Petra's three-year-old into the body of a musclebound barbarian, and she is transformed into a halfling. The kids get stuck as a cleric, fire mage, and other stalwarts of your typical fantasy gaming party.

It’s been a month since Scottie Brentson stopped his parents from conquering Greensville. In the aftermath of his battle against Jake and Fiona Brentson, Scottie moves to a lakefront property, only to encounter a never-before-seen mutant. With his mother presumably deceased, Scottie visits his dad in prison to ask about the new mutation. Yet the Brentson patriarch mocks Scottie and reveals a secret to his son, forcing Scottie to once again seek out the help of the Meta-Misfits, a group of fellow mutants dedicated to protecting Greensville from evil.

Making bills and earnin' like a baller with l33tskillz4va's crypto fast cash is not what happens in this book! But there are killer trees and bloody arena battles. What more could you want? Except sex. That happens too. It also resolves plot points like certain characters stuck in a painting and what's Petra's mom doin' at that volcano, yo! I mean, I guess there's stuff like personal character growth and human connection and all that warm, squishy stuff. But did I mention sex that happens in this book, and magic, swords, battle axes, battles, and plenty of limbs being chopped off?

Blackberry Mint Lemonade. A simple fast-food treat, or the catalyst for societal collapse? Scottie Brentson doesn’t know. Yet that doesn’t stop him from trying the latest beverage craze El Rancho Burgers has to offer. It isn’t long before he regrets his choice. First assuming he suffers from an allergic reaction to the refreshment, he quickly discovers himself mutating into a pyrokinetic being. He isn’t alone. Other people develop super-strength, ice, parasitic telepathy, and magic, among other abilities. Not all these powers will benefit mankind.

Petra thought working for her old high school was the worst thing that could happen to her—until a magical disease infected her son. Meanwhile, the Barbarians Breakfast Club faces creatures invading their high school and murdering their classmates and principal. Okay, so maybe the latter isn't that bad. The phenomena intensify, and soon, it is not just the high school that's infested with murderous creatures. So, our hapless heroes must seek aid from old allies and enemies.

All he has to do is strike one match to bring all her secrets to light Gavin: Only a Mountain Misfit would find opportunity in his own little brother’s motorcycle accident. An opportunity to finally get Sloan right where I want her. Not just for the night, but for the rest of our lives. She’s going to be my wife. She’s going to be the queen of the Mountain Misfits MC. She has everything I need to wash this blood from my hands. Everything I need to help save my club from my father’s appetite for destruction.

She’ll make him burn down the past and forge the future from the ashes. Gavin: Up on the mountain I’m of club royalty. I am the legacy. I am the man who was sent to save the Mountain Misfits MC from my father’s need for destruction. But maybe I don’t want to take on this burden anymore. Maybe I want a white picket fence and a good woman to settle down with. Maybe I’m tired of this blood on my hands. Or maybe I want it all. One foot on the mountain, the other down below, chasing after a woman who doesn’t see me for the man I truly am. A woman who likes my leather cut.
