Deathless:
John Darkeson, supernatural consultant and reluctant hero, has seen it all: rogue spirits, supernatural creatures, eldritch assassins, and mobsters with more secrets than bodies in the Hudson. But when a new drug—made with human blood and dubbed “Deathless”—hits the streets, the city’s gangs start dying in brutal ritual massacres, each marked by an ancient, bloody symbol no one can decipher.
As John chases leads from swanky lobbies to haunted alleys, he’s drawn into a high-stakes game involving crime syndicates, a haunted past, a worried heiress, and a growing tangle of supernatural politics. Each step brings him closer to the heart of a conspiracy: a cabal controlled by an ancient darkness—an immortal ancient being with a taste for suffering. With only wit, magic, and a dog who’s literally a demi-god from Norse myth by his side, John must unravel the link between Deathless, the city’s gang wars, and the possibility of blood-soaked apocalypse.
Battered by monsters, double-crossed by allies, and stalked by something that lives in nightmares, John’s running out of time. Because if he can’t stop the ritual in time, he won’t just lose his city—he’ll lose his soul.
Blood Night
John Darkeson—sorcerer, swordsman, and reluctant noir detective—gets pulled into a brutal urban spiral where mob wars, fairy politics, and ancient Scandinavian horrors collide. From bloody docks and haunted containers to rooftop duels and an Otherworld chase, Darkeson fights monsters and liars alike to protect the people he loves, flinging silver, steel, and stubborn heart into a city that never sleeps and never forgives. It's violence, magic, and moral grit—equal parts blade-flash and midnight loneliness—where every revelation costs blood and every victory asks for a piece of the hero’s soul.
Fire and Frost:
John Darkeson — a hard-bitten, magic-wielding private investigator known as the Swordsman — is pulled into an escalating conspiracy when members of the Seelie court begin to turn up immolated by impossible ritual fire. As he chases clues through New York’s underworld and the Otherworld beyond, he uncovers a plot of manipulation and false flags: three seemingly ordinary youths, a headless Dullahan assassin, and a shapeshifting agent working to ignite a war between fairy courts for someone’s hidden gain. Racing between smoky nightclubs, spectral dreams, and throne rooms of queens, Darkeson must outwit courtly intrigue, surviving assassins and ancient magics to expose who benefits from chaos — or watch two immortal courts tear the mortal world apart.
Whispering shadows: John Darkeson—Swordsman, PI, and chronic magnet for trouble—slashes his way through a gritty, neon-lit New York where yokai stalk the streets, shadowy ninja cults hunt imperial relics, and ancient gods stir for war. After the theft of a scroll and a legendary blade trigger a cataclysmic plot to free a dark deity, John must outfight assassins, outsmart capricious sidhe, and gamble with godly power to stop a Hyakki Yagyo that could tear reality apart—while love, betrayal, and impossible bargains threaten to undo him from every side. Urban fantasy, blood-and-iron action, and mythic stakes collide in a relentless, darkly witty ride.
Godborn (working title): John Darkeson is a hard-bitten investigator with a blade and a debt to a god of mischief. When a Norse representative is murdered and something biblical unleashes plague, storm and locusts on New York, John is pulled into a lethal conspiracy stretching from shadowy assassin orders to prodigal gods. With a trickster at his heels, a supernaturally gifted dog at his side, and time running out before a world-changing conclave vote, he must outwit killers, unmask a cult, and stop a secret order from channeling divine power—before the city becomes the altar for a new god.
