Bill D. Allen

When the security director of the powerful corporation Nebulaco dies under mysterious circumstances, courier Sai Collins has one last top-secret delivery to make on his behalf. Sai has come a long way from her street-kid childhood, but she has her secrets--namely that she's a cyber-psi, a computer telepath who can connect to the grid without hardware. A talent she's going to desperately need. Because when she arrives at the drop point on a neighboring planet to make the delivery, she's ambushed by heavily armed goons and barely escapes with her life. Sai soon realizes that she's in the middle of something far more complex and far-reaching than she ever imagined, and if she's going to make it out of this alive, she'll have to turn to a couple of unlikely heroes: the charming, down-on-his-luck pilot Hank Jensen and jaded private investigator Mike Chandler, who follows no one's rules but his own. Their mission: take down the most dangerous pirate in the galaxy.

The killings have started again... ...and the police are looking for a regular killer. Down-and-out bluesman Roy Porter has been living on the streets of Tulsa for years, and he's seen the pattern of death before. This is no ordinary killer, but a supernatural threat, and Roy knows odds are he's the next victim. Roy's only hope is to recruit an aging biker named Jim with a haunted past and blood on his hands. Together they track the killer through the mystic circles of Tulsa. They must face their own weaknesses, their crushed dreams, and their pasts as they race down Death's highway with a One-Way Ticket to Midnight. REVIEWS AND BLURBS "An exemplary debut novel." --The Rocky Mountain News "Jonas has written a well-paced trip through the mean streets of Tulsa infused with music and magic." --The Denver Post "Leave it to mild-mannered Gary Jonas to quietly slip in a masterpiece first horror novel while so many others are loudly making much ado about nothing. After years of honing his craft on the short form, Gary knows what makes for first-rate fiction." --Brian A. Hopkins Author of These I Know By Heart "I loved the character of Howlin' Roy Porter and look forward to buying his CDs." --Edward Bryant Author of Flirting with Death

One-Way Ticket to Midnight

A SAVAGE MURDER A husband armed with a sword hacks apart his wife in a Denver grocery store. There are dozens of witnesses, and the crime is captured on the security cameras. To the police, it's an open-and-shut case. To Naomi, the daughter of the couple, it's evidence of dark magic. She hires her ex-lover, a private investigator named Jonathan Shade to prove her father is innocent. Shade specializes in paranormal cases, but he isn't buying it. Still, he takes the case, hoping to rekindle their relationship. Instead, Shade finds himself mixed up in supernatural intrigue with wizards, magically engineered assassins, and an ancient sorcerer returned to life who's willing to kill anyone who stands in his way. Too bad Shade doesn't have any magic.

Vampire Midnight

Life sucks. My old man makes me work for a big-ass witch named Lakesha so I can learn magic and help people. My first gig turns out to be an abduction, which sounds like a job for law enforcement, not a half-assed wizard like yours truly. Just my luck though - it's a ghost that's been snatched, which is right in my wheelhouse. Why would anyone want to kidnap a ghost? And why should I care one way or the other? I prefer power napping to kidnapping. But when the abductors use the ghost to kill a man in a robbery gone wrong, it's up to me to save the day. As long as I don't have to get up before noon...
