From the Backlist: Uncanny Collateral
A lot of readers find me through the Powder Mage Universe, but did you know I also have an urban fantasy series?
Uncanny Collateral is the first of the Valkyrie Collections, novels that are fast, punchy books meant to be read in a couple of sittings, following a collection agent who works for the supernatural out of Cleveland, Ohio.
There are also audiobooks read by the fantastic Luke Daniels, known for his work on the best-selling Iron Druid series!
A bit of trivia on where this story came from: My last job before becoming an author was working for a collection agency in Cleveland, Ohio, and the idea of a supernatural collection agency had been floating around my head ever since. I finally put it to use for this series!
Here’s more about the first book:
Uncanny Collateral
Valkyrie Collections Book 1
Alek Fitz is a reaper, a collection agent who works for the supernatural elements of the world, tracking down debtors and solving problems for clients as diverse as the Lords of Hell, vampires, Haitian loa, and goblins. He’s even worked for the Tooth Fairy on occasion. Based out of Cleveland, Ohio, Alek is the best in the game. As a literal slave to his job, he doesn’t have a choice.
When Death comes looking for someone to track down a thief, Alek is flung into a mess of vengeful undead, supernatural bureaucracy, and a fledgling imp war. As the consequences of failure become dire, he has few leads, and the clock is ticking. Only with the help of his friend Maggie—an ancient djinn with a complex past—can he hope to recover the stolen property, save the world, and just maybe wring a favor out of the Great Constant himself.
It’s a hell of a job, but somebody’s got to do it...
