New Release: The Gangster

The Gangster (Magic & Steam: Book Two) is now available with all online vendors in ebook and paperback! This title has been extremely long in the making—but it's done. Gillian and Gunner are back in the full-length sequel to The Engineer!

Artwork: Reese Dante.

Blurb: 1881—Special Agent Gillian Hamilton, magic caster for the Federal Bureau of Magic and Steam, has recovered from injuries obtained while in Shallow Grave, Arizona. Now back in New York City, Gillian makes an arrest on New Year’s Eve that leads to information on a gangster, known only as Tick Tock, who’s perfected utilizing elemental magic ammunition. This report complicates Gillian’s holiday plans, specifically those with infamous outlaw, Gunner the Deadly, who promised they’d ring in 1882 together.

The two men stand on the cusp of a romance that needs to be explored intimately and privately. But when Gillian’s residence is broken into by a magical mechanical man who tries to murder him on behalf of Tick Tock, he and Gunner must immediately investigate the city’s ruthless street gangs before the illegal magic becomes a threat that cannot be contained.

This might be their most wild adventure yet, but criminal undergrounds can’t compare to the dangers of the heart. Gillian must balance his career in law enforcement with his love for a vigilante, or lose both entirely.

Audiobook currently in production, with the return of Declan Winters!

Audio - A Friend in the Dark

A Friend in the Dark (An Auden & O'Callaghan Mystery: Book One), written by myself and Gregory Ashe, is now available in audio! 

Narrated by Garrett Kiesel, it runs for a total of 7 hours and 54 minutes and is available for purchase with Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.

Blurb: Rufus O’Callaghan has eked out a living on the streets of New York City by helping the police put away criminals as a confidential informant. But when Rufus shows up for an arranged meeting and finds his handler dead, his already-uncertain life is thrown into a tailspin. Now someone is trying to kill Rufus too, and he’s determined to find out why.

After leaving the Army under less than desirable circumstances, Sam Auden has drifted from town to town, hitching rides and catching Greyhounds, until he learns that a former Army buddy, now a police detective in New York City, has died by suicide. Sam knows that’s not right, and he immediately sets out to get answers.

As Rufus and Sam work together to learn the truth of their friend’s death, they find themselves entangled in a web of lies, cover-ups, and accelerating danger. And when they witness a suspect killed in cold blood, they realize they’re running out of time.

2020 Wrap With C.S. Poe

2020 is wrapped and behind us, friends. What a year that was. Nothing will magically change overnight, but let's keep our eyes on the prize and beat this pandemic!

Despite a sort of... insane year, I managed to stay relatively focused on being an author. (Admittedly, sometimes that required sticking my head in the sand and pretending nothing existed by my cats at dinnertime.)
