The Monster Marshals
They live among us. And they have rules.
Formed in secret during the final drafting of the Civil Rights Act, the Monster Marshals are a covert agency tasked with maintaining a fragile peace between humans and the hidden monsters who walk among us.
The law grants supernatural beings the right to exist. But only if they play by the rules.
When vampires stalk outside their permitted zones, when werewolves break containment, or when creatures thought to be myth go rogue—it’s the Monster Marshals who get the call. Equal parts law enforcement and damage control, they operate in the shadows to protect both sides… and to make sure the monsters don’t forget what happens when they cross the line.
Each story in the series follows a different Marshal as they investigate dark crimes, uncover ancient conspiracies, and deal with the blurred morality of enforcing laws that were never meant to be public.
Fast-paced, gritty, and full of dark humor and supernatural intrigue, Monster Marshals is urban fantasy meets procedural thriller—with claws.
Miner Inconveniences (No, this is not a typo)
There are rules for monsters. When they break them, we show up.
Deep beneath North Idaho, something is stirring. Something with wings. Something that doesn’t belong.
When a mysterious creature—an Ahool, a giant winged primate native to the jungles of South America—is spotted in the depths of a mine, the Monster Marshals are called in. Agent Aria Peirce and her grizzled partner Jim Underwood are dispatched to investigate, armed with a mandate to Neutralize, Extract, Capture, or Kill—a protocol known as NECK.
But they didn’t expect the creature to be nearly a mile underground. And they certainly didn’t expect this.
Trapped below the surface with uneasy miners, a malfunctioning comms system, and a beast that defies classification, Aria and Jim will need more than the latest tech from their genius weapons specialist, Wonderly, or the cranky oversight of their boss, Professor Leifsson.
They’ll need guts. Grit. And in Aria’s case—she’ll have to confront a fear that’s haunted her for years.
Fast-paced, darkly funny, and packed with underground terror, Miner Inconveniences is a thrilling installment in the Monster Marshals universe. If you love smart characters, weird monsters, and action that bites back, this is your next read.
