“Merry Christmas, Kate. Why did you show up on my doorstep all of a sudden? Wait, Kate, why are you bleeding?”

My friend Kate is dead. Did I mention that she was a grim reaper?

Thanks, Santa. Not exactly the gift I asked for.

Now I get to play Sherlock Holmes on the most wonderful day of the year. I get the feeling that whoever is behind Kate’s murder wants to finish me next.

As my undead servant Bo likes to say, shizzle is afoot…

Reaper’s Way is a standalone novella in The Good Necromancer series, taking place after Book 1.

Boy, did I step in something deep now…

Problem #1: I’ve never seen a wolf in my life. Now, three wolf shifters are trying to rip me apart in a parking lot.

Problem #2: I left my gun at home.

Problem #3: My undead servant is inside the store, chatting his face off.

Lester Broussard: premium canine food? Sheeeeeet…

These wolves are about to get a taste of necromancer. When I’m done, they’re going to wish they never took a bite.

Pop! Pop!

That’s the sound of a gang gunfight in front of my house. Never a dull moment in the hood.

Rrrring!

That’s the sound of a real estate agent calling to offer me a boatload of money for my historic house. Half a million dollars and I’ll never have to hear another shooting again.

No, I’m not taking the money. The only way I’m leaving my house is in a body bag.

“Say what???”

Speaking of bodies, that’s what the police are saying when the dead body in front of my house vanishes in broad daylight…in front of hundreds of people.

Coincidence? Of course not. But I’m not solving any supernatural problems today.

Why, you ask? I’m taking my grandson Malcolm to the zoo, that’s why. The world is just going to have to find another necromancer to solve its problems for a change.

…Don’t see it? Me either.

Sheeeeet, here we go again.

Lester Broussard: Necromancer. Dark Artist. Grandpa???

Yeah, you heard that right. It took my breath away too.

All I want is to celebrate my dead parents’ fiftieth wedding anniversary with a quiet little séance. Do a deal with the Lich King, revel in old memories with my mom and dad, and enjoy a weekend for a change.

Then, my daughter who I haven’t seen for seven years shows up at my doorstep with a baby.

If you think that’s crazy, I haven’t even made it past the first chapter.

The next time I want to have a quiet night, I’m going to spend it at a hotel. In the meantime, I’ve got an appointment with the Lich King…and some diapers to buy. Sheeeeeet…

Nothing good ever happens when my phone rings. I’m seriously considering installing a pigeon messenger service in my home.

First call, a detective wants to investigate my necromancy. He’s with the Paranormal Crimes Division, and he’s not taking no for an answer.

Second call, a mysterious woman threatens to render me cadaverous if I cooperate with the detective.

Sheeeeeet…

What does a necromancer do when they’re backed into a corner? They practice some cold hard magic. It’s going to take a whole lot of it to get out of this one alive.

Time for a supernatural rendezvous…

I used to practice necromancy. I could communicate with the dead and acquire forbidden secrets.

But necromancy is a dirty business. I abandoned the dark art when a demon double-crossed me and killed my wife. I have lived in quiet solitude ever since.

Now the demon has returned from the other side and wants to eliminate me once and for all.

Word on the street? He wants to hang my head on a necklace to complete his collection of dead necromancers.

Sheeeeeet…

So here I am, back in the game. You know, making deals with grim reapers, casting dark spells, binding souls to dead bodies for protection. Typical necromancer stuff. But I’m channeling my powers for good this time. When I’m done, this demon will beg me for mercy.

Harry Dresden meets Alex Cross in this electrifying urban fantasy series by Michael La Ronn that will keep you spellbound.

For the last two years, I’ve protected innocent people like you from demons who feast on dreams.

When demons show up on my doorstep one snowy night, so does someone dangerous from my past.

It’s time to face my past…and end the nightmare that has been haunting me all these years.

Dream Born is a fast-paced urban fantasy with a kickass African-American heroine, lovable heroes, and crazy mindscapes that you’ll dream about long after you’re finished reading.

If I don’t rid this woman of her nightmares, more people will die.

Against my best judgment, I agree to help a woman whose nightmares are becoming reality. Whatever she dreams, it happens. And it usually involves people dying.

When she dreams of mass death at the city’s busiest subway terminal, I race against the clock to stop it from happening.

Only a dream mage can figure out what’s causing the nightmares. But this woman’s dreams are the craziest I’ve ever seen.

I need serious help. And it might involve a little dark magic…

My last adventure made me famous. Now the fame might kill me.

Overnight, I became the city’s premier dream mage when I saved it from an evil demon.

My dream reading business has been booming ever since, but other dream mages in the city aren’t too happy about my sudden stardom.

Now I’m a target.

I’ve got to watch my back. And take it from me—the last person you want pissed at you is a dream mage.
