'Do you do this sort of thing a lot?' 'Fly across the world to defend someone from murder accusations with my own life hanging in the balance?' I shook my head. 'It's less common than you might think.' It's been several years since John Smith became San Diego's supernatural mediator, and he's as sur...

I'm happy to announce that Tantor Audio has picked up their option to produce the audiobook for A Dead Man's Favor, and that the series will continue to be narrated by Joel Richards!

We've gotten a lot of compliments on Joel's narration of earlier books in the series and are delighted that he will be bringing John's latest misadventure to the audiobook realm.

ADMF will release in audiobook format on Jul 16, 2024!

A free Christmas-themed story, set after the events of A Dead Man's Favor? It's not pie, but we'll take it!

A Few Extra Gifts to Stuff Your Stocking Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays! In the spirit of the season, I started a new tradition last December, one in which I write and release a free short story each year. On Christmas, because doing it on December 28th would just be odd. It’s my way of...

We'll have one more release this year... the now-traditional free short story that Chris will write and release via his website for Christmas. This year's story will involve everyone's favorite demigod, Bill, hiring John to track down Santa Claus for... well... reasons. 😆

Free this week: book 1 of The Many Travails of John Smith, Investigation, Mediation, Vindication.

Today through Saturday, the ebook is officially free on Amazon in every market where it's being sold. Did you already read it on Kindle Unlimited? Want a permanent copy of your very own for absolutely no cost? This is your chance!

The first in a seven-book series (four books available now, with the fifth coming in September), IMV is a lighthearted urban fantasy starring an everyman slacker who swiftly finds himself in over his head, forced to survive on the lessons he learned in community college and the nebulous power of friendship:

"The stakes are real. The mediator isn't.

A vampire queen.
A vegetable demigod.
A magic Nintendo.

When supernatural forces collide, it will take a skilled mediator to keep their conflict from destroying San Diego.
Sadly, all they have is John Smith."

June is Audiobook Appreciation Month and in celebration, Tantor has made the second book of The Many Travails of John Smith 50% off on Audiobooks.com! If you haven't listened to Joel RIchards' brilliant narration of John's adventures with San Diego's local werewolf pack, this is the time!

"Messy divorce? Check.
Emotional stability of the involved parties? Questionable.
Possibility of bloodshed? High.
Yep... it was definitely starting to sound like one of my cases."

In addition to being San Diego's supernatural mediator, John Smith is the city's least successful private investigator. Those two careers collide when what was supposed to be a simple infidelity case draws the attention of the local werewolf pack. John soon finds himself pressed into service mediating a separation between the pack's married leaders.

Even under normal circumstances, divorce is hell. But when werewolves are involved? It's murder.
