My Published Works
Includes “Hextron, Inc.”
We’ve all been there: standing behind a desk or a counter for ridiculously long hours, letting the movie of our imagination roll behind our eyes. We’re certain that you can, far too easily, find inspiration from your workplace. Magic, mayhem, revenge — and, yes, perhaps even redemption — can all be found here.
You can tell a lot about a person by looking at the people in their life — Mike LeBonte is no exception.
Who is Ritter, and why is he so important to Mike?
Who is the Grey Man in the Atheneum? And what is Chevalier to the Rosicrucians?
Did Reverend Greene really escape? Whatever happened to Becky?
Also included in this collection is the first case that Grimaulkin has with his new apprentice, Ash.
Re-enter the world of Grimaulkin, where magic is real.
What really happens when you take out a bully?
When Mike LeBonte is faced with a bully every year for his middle-school life, he does the only thing he can think of to solve the problem.
He summons the demon Andromalius — a demon that is meant to punish “wicked men” such as Mousey, Mike’s present nemesis.
It’s always nice to go home to see family. Not.
Mike and Scott, now married, go to Mike’s sister Evie’s house for Thanksgiving.
They are greeted by a surprise nephew, and Mike’s father doesn’t remember him. Mike handles it the same way his own father would have.
It seems the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Protect your present or suffer from your past.
It’s Scott’s birthday, and Mike LeBonte has big plans for his boyfriend.
However, the Pawtucket police have other plans for Mike, and his own past returns with an offer he could refuse — at Scott’s peril.
In prison, the old teach the young … and sometimes the other way around.
A young boy, new to magic prison, asks James, a veteran of the place, for help. If James helps him, James could fall prey to the Satanists. If he doesn’t, he will certainly hurt his own heart.
Stress affects people differently. Then, there’s magic.
Mike LeBonte is house-sitting while his sister and her new husband go on their honeymoon. What could happen in two weeks?
First, his cousin Becky calls him saying she’s being followed. It could be the Mafia. Or it could be the church she’s trying to separate from.
Then his boyfriend tells Mike his ex is coming to visit. Then Mike meets his parole officer — a Knight of the Rosicrucians, the very people who put him in prison.
With all this stress, it’s no wonder that Mike resorts to magic to cope. But like any drug, it could very well alter his own perception of reality.
In war, here be dragons.
Brent Rogers returns to his posting in Afghanistan, after being tortured by the militant Taliban group, Black Lions. He is given new orders: to be a liaison between the armed forces and four independent battle dragons.
In trying to learn their ways, Brent attempts to become friends with them. But there are many people in the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan who want to see him fail, not the least of which is the military.
Never tick off a Magician.
When Michael LeBonte is outed by a classmate, all the bullies seem to come out of the woodwork to take a crack at him.
But Mike has plans to punish them all. Every. Single. One.
There’s just one catch: It involves summoning a demon from Hell.
Treading the straight and narrow is not natural to one who summons demons.
Michael LeBonte is set free after five years in magic prison. All he has to do is stay on the straight and narrow path for the rest of his life. However, because he summoned demons to “take care of things,” it’s easier said than done.
Now his plan is to make a new life for himself. His sister has welcomed him back, he’s met a cute guy, and he’s found a nice job assisting the local private investigator.
But his expertise does not go unnoticed and he gets pulled back to do what got him sent to prison in the first place.
