Charlie Gault had all the luck. Unfortunately, it wasn't the good kind. Sucked through a wormhole, he was suddenly up against alien space pirates, talking dragons, and something that seemed very much like magic, Charlie found himself fighting for survival, and in a galaxy very different from his own.

The Dragon Mage

Space Pirate Charlie

A space engineer is sucked through a wormhole to a distant galaxy, where magic is common, and technology is viewed as alien spells.

The Dragon Mage 1

Bad Luck Charlie

Life in deep space could be a drag sometimes, but Daisy supposed things could have been worse. They were still alive, after all, which was always a plus in her book. Now if only she could figure out who, or what, was endangering her return home, things would be just peachy. It had been one hell of a way to start the day--being rudely snapped from a deep cryo-sleep, and in the middle of a ship-wide crisis to boot--but Daisy was pleased to note that the ship had not decompressed, the crew hadn't been blasted into space, and, most importantly, they hadn't simply blown up. At least not yet. So, they had that going for them, but being stuck on a damaged ship in the inky depths of space as it limped toward Earth was not exactly the relaxing trip home she'd imagined. With the powerful AI supercomputer guiding the craft beginning to show some disconcerting quirks of its own, and its unsettling cyborg assistant nosing into her affairs, Daisy's unease was rapidly growing. Add to the mix a crew of mechanically-enhanced humans, any one of whom she suspected might not be what they seemed, and Daisy found herself with a sense of pending dread tickling the periphery of her mind. Something was very much not right--she could feel it in her bones. The tricky part now was going to be figuring out what the threat was, before it could manifest from a mere sinking feeling in her gut into a potentially deadly reality.

The Clockwork Chimera

Daisy's Run

"Wearing nothing but psych ward pajamas and fluffy slippers, the odd girl wasn't really dressed to kill. Being the Grim Reaper, however, she felt confident she could make it work. Have you ever had one of those days? You know, the kind of day when things just don't go your way. Like when your botched suicide attempt and claims of supernatural powers get you hauled to the emergency room, placed under observation, then transferred to a locked-down psych facility. The girl who thought she was Death had failed miserably in her efforts to shed the troublesome human body in which she was trapped. The result? Finding herself surrounded by nutjobs, locked in a mental ward ruled by a humorless doctor with a Napoleon complex and a penchant for sleight of hand. Sure, she did technically bring it on herself, but how was she to know that trying to off herself in public and using her outside voice to proclaim she was Death incarnate would result in a psych ward lockdown? With that problematic little blunder behind her, the concerns now vexing her were pressing. Escape, both from the mental hospital, as well as from this plane of existence, was vital, but equally so was addressing the other issue haunting her. The big one. The one that could end the world. The issue that with Death missing, people would rather inconveniently no longer die like they were supposed to. Eventually, things would hit critical mass. She just didn't know when. The situation was, well, grim, to say the very least. An irony not lost on the girl claiming to be the Death."--Amazon.

Living the Good Death

Even the greatest assassin in the galaxy had to start somewhere. Snatched up and whisked away light years from home, young Bawb finds himself thrust into an entirely new life. One filled with brutal training, sweat, and pain, where injury and even death are a terrifying reality. With abilities he didn’t know he possessed manifesting under the extreme pressure, one thing was certain. Like it or not, this was his destiny. It would be a difficult path, but if he survived the myriad challenges ahead, he might become a full-fledged member of the Order. Possibly something more. But when the curious boy stumbles headfirst into a mystery the likes of which even the great Masters of the Order had failed to solve, it becomes abundantly clear something more was lurking in these walls than just physical and mental challenges. Something that could change his fate forever. 

Author Note: This series follows the origins and adventures of Bawb, a fan favorite character from the Bad Luck Charlie books (the Dragon Mage series). This series contains no spoilers for the Charlie series. You do not need to have read the Charlie books first. Also related to this series is the Space Assassins series, which takes place directly before these books. The Space Assassins series is closely related and many characters from that series also appear in these books. 

Note that there are some spoilers if you have not read the Space Assassins series first, but none that I feel will ruin that series.

Escaping from deranged cyborgs and a malcontent artificial intelligence had been the run of Daisy's life, but one from which she had miraculously come out the other side, and in one piece, no less. Unfortunately for her, she had survived that ordeal only to find herself in a far deeper mess.With an even more dangerous turn of events throwing her in harm's way, Daisy's original plight was now dwarfed by the new issues at hand. Issues involving not only her crewmates and herself, but threats on a global level. Earth was in jeopardy, and much as she hated to admit it, Daisy, it seemed, was its best hope.Driven into action and forced to rely not only on her own wits, but also the voice in her head, tirelessly watching her back, Daisy found her newfound skills tested to their limits, and quite nearly to their breaking point. Unfortunately for her adversaries, they didn't know just who it was they were pushing around, because Daisy was most definitely not to be trifled with. She was the woman who pushed back.
