June 15, 2018

Null City Novel — Like us on Facebook and be the first to hear about new releases, free stories, and more!

Superpowers suck? Try Null City. After one day there, imps become baristas, and hellhounds become poodles. But someone should have told them the angels were all on the other side.

Each morning, hope flares in the tiny flash of a second before I touch that first thing. And destroy it.

Warden Carey Parker's to-do list is already long enough: find her brother and sister, rescue her roommate, save Null City, and castrate her ex-boyfriend. Preferably with a dull-edged garden tool. A rusty one.

Two novellas: "Payback Is A Witch" & "Just For The Spell Of It"

The story of three women eating our way across India in search of adventure, elephants, temples, palaces, western toilets, monkeys, the perfect paratha…and the kindness of Indian strangers.
