Ferryman Mike Ross helps ghosts and living people resolve their supernatural problems, but his own troubles keep multiplying. Hostile Civil War spirits, body-stealing entities, and a family-linked enemy force him into conflicts whose reach exceeds his understanding.

Epic and urban settings provide encounters with cursed warriors, unexpected summer jobs, immortality, and a miniature dragon exasperated by its human companions.

A unicorn who survived his rider's death becomes an outcast and bonds with an unlikely recruit to the royal cavalry. Kayleigh must overcome hostility and uncover Majherri's secrets as the pair learn to control dangerous shared magic.

Armored villain Cal Stringel is caught in a world-domination scheme that goes wrong and leaves him working alongside superheroes. Navigating their ideals, rivalries and temptations tests whether he can accept belonging without surrendering the cynical principles that define him.

Engineer Cal Stringel quits after being denied credit for his inventions, only to face corporate retaliation. Building his own powered armor seems the answer, but his pursuit of revenge becomes a chaotic education in the difficult economics of supervillainy.

Presumed dead, Cal operates with a rogue superhero team while controlling exceptionally powerful armor. As established heroes, officials, and villains resist their influence, his reunion with Stacy is threatened by secrets and their positions on opposite sides.

Separated by a mysterious force, Kayleigh and her unicorn Majherri struggle on opposing sides of a widening war. While he confronts his former rider's madness, she must manage a new bond, emerging powers, and unsettling revelations about her past.

A Hillbilly Bobby novella accompanies thirteen stories ranging from alien abduction to apocalyptic survival. Characters include a crisis-line volunteer speaking to a self-aware missile, an immortal swamp creature, and conquistadors confronting a threat beyond their expectations.

Cal and the New Renegades attempt to rescue one of the few heroes he respects from a villain's stronghold. Impostors, engineered creatures, surveillance, and hidden truths about Aphrodite complicate the mission and threaten his carefully maintained secret survival.
