ARC I (Expand for ARC II blurb) When Mac wakes from a coma after a failed aggressive recruiting attempt by a former competitor, the nurse has the divorce papers in one hand and a medical bill with a few too many zeroes in the other. His young son is also napping in the chair. Mac needs a new job yesterday as the rent is already overdue. A kind woman that loves his boy and won’t kick Mac while he’s down is next on the list, but she can wait. When HeHeHe makes him the only job offer, he’s forced to pencil in yet one more to-do item at the top of the list… Survive his new co-workers. Considering their unbalanced psychotic dispositions, it’s a big ask. The vampire HR director did mention free childcare, didn’t he? And what does that entail? What to expect: ☑ Slow build relationships with a large cast of misfit characters that grows over time. ☑ Situation and character driven humor ☑ Clean language and laughs ☑ Everyone is hiding something. ☑ Comedic romantic subplot ☑ Zombies (some in less debt than others), vampires and other fantastical races ☑ Edge of tomorrow setting in an alternate world ☑ An AI that should never have escaped the lab once, let alone twice. ☑ There are no shapeshifting dragons, werewolves, or ghosts that inhabit computers. They’re not real. ☑ Ideally shelved between Douglass Adams and Sir Terry Pratchett *No AI was used in the making of these stories, not even for editing. Miss Windsor would not tolerate that kind of thing. We're not telling her about the cover art. Audiobook voiced by Mori Friedman available for sale everywhere audio books are sold (seriously, everywhere) with a discount through mid October. Soft back for sale on Amazon. ARC II L.O.V.E. (The Loving Order of Violent Enforcement magical girl agency) has been infiltrated by the very enemy they exist to destroy. One girl is already dead, and the traitor has dragged L.O.V.E. to its breaking point. By some miracle, HeHeHe has bought them out. Now it’s up to Mac and his fellow henchmen to root out the magical girls' betrayer and then pay back the favor. They might even pick up some new recruits along the way. Natalia, Safety Ed, Tiera, Amethyst, Joe, and a rich corporate heiress with a price on her head return to help Mac save the agency, the academy, and each other’s lives. What to Expect: ☑ Clean, comedic contemporary fantasy set on the edge of tomorrow ☑ A wider cast of highly developed characters ☑ An emotional range of highs and lows ☑ Magical girls, vampires, catgirls and kobolds ☑ Plenty of gritty action ☑ Comedic romantic subplots among the minor characters ☑ The band of five... as villains ☑ Uncomfortably shelved between Sir Terry Pratchett and Madoka Magica UPDATES MONDAY AND THURSDAY Copyright 2026
