With a busted radio and no ship due for the better part of a year, they might as well have tossed him out the airlock.
Now he’s a stranger in town with nowhere to hide and he has never been great at making friends. The Mayor gives him a job, Miss Francine rents him a room, and Mudflap and Sarah show him the ropes. Unfortunately, Conner has a distinct knack for ticking people off. and it doesn’t take long for him to open his mouth and ruin it all.
On his own with only his trusty blasters and a clue to the location of a mysterious Project Harrow, Conner sets out to find it—somewhere out in the badlands—and things go from bad to worse. For the first time in his life, Conner has found something he can’t do alone.
Providence has more ways to kill a man than the mayor has mining claims. It will take the help of friends Conner didn’t know he had, to get him through. Conner’s life has been turned upside down. Now, if he can just land on his feet . . .
Spell-bound
A small town in Appalachian West Virginia coal country. A quiet place in the middle of nowhere. Just far enough from the cities that the stars light up the sky at night. A place rich in history, if not much else. A focal point of magic and a hotbed of witches. The perfect place to stop for the night.
Jamie Donavan rolled into Stiversville on fumes to find the only gas station closed. With his stomach as empty as his wallet, he was drawn like a moth to the warm, inviting lights of Dinah's Diner, also closed for the night. He only wanted a meal and a place to camp, but from his first glimpse of Gina, Dinah's daughter and current owner of the café, Jamie's life on the road was put on hold.
Drawn into a web of haunted mines, missing children, spells, and curses, Jamie finds himself growing closer to Gina and at odds with the town's founding family. A solitary drifter is supposed to drift on through, but Gina and her cougar of an aunt, Eleanor, are enough reason to stick around for a while. Now if his head would stop throbbing and the town cop would stop hassling him, Jamie just might enjoy his stay.
