Being a supernatural bounty hunter requires more smarts than magic. Which is lucky for me since my magic is about as good as a leaky cauldron. When my latest client--a kleptomaniac werewolf--disappears, I'm on the hunt to drag him to justice. It should be a simple track 'em and cuff 'em operation, something I've done a hundred times before. Instead, I somehow acquire a vampire sidekick, wake up in a ditch, and piss off shifter nation. It's not fun, but it's all survivable right up until I'm accused of being in cahoots with my skip trace to steal Witchdom's most wanted magical relic. Suddenly smart isn't nearly enough to stay alive. Stephanie Plum hijinks meets Twilight's vampires and werewolves. All the fun, twice the fangs. Full length novel. Editorial Reviews "Sylvie is a wisecracking witch with a sense of humor who makes the reader want to root for her from the first page." IndTale Reviews "Fun. Funny. Sassy.

For example, under the key word 'Chip,' the following terms are alphabetically listed: bargaining chip, blue chip, cash in one's chips, chip in, chip off the old block, chip on one's shoulder, in the chips, let the chips fall where they may, and when the chips are down. Slang terms with more than one key word are also cross-referenced, and sample sentences lend meaning to the slang terms by showing their applications in writing and in conversation.

Mariah Sullivan is a tattoo-wearing, bruise-covered, kick-ass roller derby girl who doesn't put up with people who mistreat others. Her fierce exterior masks a woman who is loving, compassionate and deeply loyal to those she loves. Adam Barnett Jr. is a dentist like his father. He has come to Austin to take over his father's dental practice while he recuperates from an accident. The timing couldn't have worked better for Adam, who just broke off his wedding engagement to a woman he thought was perfect, both inside and out. He meets Mariah at her regular dental appointment. She is interested, willing to put aside her normal reticence and give him a chance. Adam, however, assumes the worst about her, given her black eye and the bruises on her arm. He assumes that she is the victim of some form of abuse and he approaches her in an attempt to help her seek help. But Mariah, with assistance from Adam's father, has a thing or two to teach him about making assumptions. As they spend time together and get to know each other they find sex, friendship, and eventually love.

ISBN: 1949673979

Who says liberals are snowflakes? In this collection of columns, Marc Munroe Dion earns his "Mean Old Liberal" nickname by savaging bigotry disguised as color blindness, gun worship disguised as freedom, worker slavery disguised as economic freedom and a host of other viewpoints around which terrified elements of the white middle and working class have rallied even as the future bears down on them and their bosses lay them off in favor of robots. These aren't press conference columns, and they're not congressional hearing columns. They're political columns from the street, informed by Dion's 40 years covering housefires, shootings and the workings of small-town government. The language sometimes soars, but the ideas are tough, and this mean old liberal is spoiling for a fight.

Hey, all you cool cats and vampires, I'm witch and bounty hunter Sylvie Orion. Or at least, I was. Who and what I am seems to be up for debate these days. I mean, other than the fact I'm now the world's most wanted witch. (The reward is buy-your-own-island money. I even want to turn myself in) Currently, I'm missing my soul and all the magic that comes with it. For extra athame-in- the-eye fun, I'm being held prisoner by Shifter Nation. Whoa Goddess, do they have plans for me. Plans no sane witch would ever agree to be a part of. I never wanted to start a war. I just wanted to live a quiet, witchy life. But my soul has its own destiny, and if I don't get it back, I'll have no say in what happens next. Hold on to your wands, beyotches, because this witch never says die. "Motherducking Witches is a highly unexpected and brilliantly exciting continuation of this fun and amazing series. It allows us to take a deeper look into this beautifully complex storyline that has wrapped itself around my heart and won't let go." "This is such a fun, action-filled story with interesting characters. Sylvie Orion, a bounty hunter witch with very limited magic, is in the fight of her life to get back her stolen soul. I really like Sylvie and how she cleverly makes up for her weak magic as she battles stronger paranormal creatures. Another terrific story in the Bad Magic Bounty Hunter series. Can't wait to see what happens next!"
