FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA:
“Boldly going because they’re completely lost.”
The newly renamed Vance Turbo has sabotaged his own career at Space Fleet Academy due to a desire to atone for a training accident. Unfortunately, his actions result in him getting press-ganged into an expendable crew of misfits recruited by a legendary starship captain. Their mission? To recover a collection of lost sun-destroying missiles that could restart a galactic war. Unfortunately, Vance is smart enough to know something is wrong with this picture. After all, no sane person would recruit this crew to save the universe.
SPACE ACADEMY DROPOUTS is an all-new series from the hilarious duo of C.T. Phipps (Supervillainy Saga, Agent G) and Michael Suttkus (I Was a Teenage Weredeer, Lucifer’s Star) that lampoons the space opera as well as military science fiction genres.
The Return of Supervillainy is now on audiobook!
“Gary’s back. Tell a friend.”
Gary Karkofsky AKA Merciless: The Supervillain without Mercy
TM has managed to fall into a comfortable routine as the (acting) Supreme Archmage of Earth. More hero than villain these days, he’s recruited to a shadowy black ops team with a shocking mission: assassinate Helios: The Sun King, ruler of Tomorrow Island. Gary immediately twigs to the fact he’s the fall guy even as he has his own score to settle with Helios. Joining him will be a number of fan favorite characters as well as several new additions to the surreal world of the Supervillainy Saga.
The Return of Supervillainy is the tenth volume of the Supervillainy Saga, following the world’s worst (best?) supervillain. It has two bonus stories in “Sidekick Girl versus Merciless” and “The Freelancer’s Cunning Plan.” It also contains “The Guide to the Supervillainy Saga” which will detail the entire history of the setting for long-term and new fans.

Two United States of Monsters novels planned for 2025
I have two more United States of Monsters books planned for this year: QUEEN OF BLOOD which is the backstory of Ashura (as well as New Detroit’s vampires as a whole) and follows up Brighteyes’ ending and VWA AND POSSE which will be Peter getting suckered (no pun intended) into becoming an assassin of the European Vampire League’s King.
A lot of people wonder why I combined all of my books into one series but it’s really because of two reasons. 1] Because a lot of people never got all the many connections between the various books. 2] It’s much, much easier to market.

“Why save the world when you can rule it?”

Guardians of Dragon Keep (Dark Undermaster #2) is now available
“So, what you’re saying is the Dragon Queen is dead.”
“No, what I’m saying is the Dragon Queen is dead and there’s an imposter carrying on in her place. Possibly someone you know. Your girlfriend’s ex is back from the dead. Your brother is evil. A dead god is trying to take over your body. We’re running out of time until it becomes impossible to save the world. Also, I’m pretty sure the giant blind redheaded swordswoman chick wants to bang you to death.”
“So, normal Tuesday.”
Aragorn “Aaron” Bartkowski and his merry band of miscreants are back! Having successfully slain the demon god Chernabog, they’ve managed to buy a little more time for the planet Mokosh. However, a hero’s work is never done, especially when a hero is underleveled and with low WIS. From a mission to a haunted vampire-filled castle to rescue the little girl Pope to the deeps of elven territory to the heart of Ledziana’s civil war, Aaron must now engage with the complicated politic underlying the dark fantasy setting he’s found himself in. It’s win or die when playing the games of kings and queens, though, and our hero is absolutely terrible at them.
GUARDIANS OF DRAGON KEEP is the second volume of the Dark Undermaster Saga, a humorous send up of dark fantasy like Game of Thrones, The Witcher, and Dark Souls. It is a progression fantasy LitRPG that follows the adventures of video game computer programmer, Aaron Bartkowski as he is hurled bodily into the world of his favorite author, Larry C.C. Weis. Unfortunately, Weis turns out to have been much better at stealing from other, better, authors than he was in giving his heroes a break.
Brighteyes, book two of the Morgan Detective, is now available!
Hey folks,
I’m pleased to announce that BRIGHT EYES, the second MORGAN DETECTIVE AGENCY novel and 12th novel of the UNITED STATES OF MONSTERS series is now available on Kindle as well as paperback.
The United States of Monsters books are a collection of urban fantasy novels all set in the same world where the supernatural was revealed to the world in 2008 and society has been catching up ever since. Vampires, slashers, werewolves, weredeer, and more all struggle to integrate with a human race that either worships or hates them.
What is Bright Eyes?
Ashley Morgan has been many things: a trainee spy for the House, a psychic superhero, a private detective, and a bounty hunter. However, she’s lost all of those jobs because it turns out none of them are very easy in a city run by vampires. Now having her wounded sister recovering in her apartment, Ashley has to figure out who her latest enemies are. What she finds out are they may be closer to home than she ever imagined and targeting her old classmates at spy school for sale at an undead slave market.
Armed with a magical sword containing an angel, her ex-boyfriend’s magic, her devious brother, and the dubious help of New Detroit’s ex-voivode, Ashley has to set out to smash a conspiracy before it turns everyone she used to know into playthings for the damned. But can she trust even those closest to her?
Brighteyes is set in the same world as the Red Room series, The Bright Falls Mysteries, and Straight Outta Fangton.
It is available on KU, Kindle, and paperback.
Book Giveaway – Lords of Dragon Keep Oct 17-20th
Book Giveaway
Hey folks,
I am incredibly happy to share the news that LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP, the first book of the Dark Undermaster Saga is going to be free for the next three days (October 17th to 20th). If you wanted to pick up a copy of the hilarious story of a guy getting dumped into a Witcher/Game Of Thrones-esque universe and doing his best to do a Paragon run while increasing his stats D&D style (which makes him an utter monster) then this is the book for you. Laughs galore. The sequel is almost finished on Royal Road too.
“A hilarious parody of everything fantasy fans love and hate in equal measure.” – The Bookwyrm Speaks
High ratings and positive feedback so far! 🙂
Blurb
“Give me the incredibly short summary of what the hell is going on, please. The kind you could fit into a movie trailer.”
“You’re trapped in a video game world based on a hack dark fantasy author’s rip-off of better books.”
“Uh huh. Maybe you could be a bit more detailed.”
Aragorn “Aaron” Bartkowski was a programmer working at Epic DungeoneeringTM, the world’s largest fantasy video game company. Much to his surprise, he was selected to pick up the latest manuscript from reclusive author Larry C.C. Weis. Weis had been working on his newest book for over a decade and the good folk at Aaron’s company had dibs on adapting it. Unfortunately, Weis was also a wizard and sent Aaron to the world that inspired his books.
Aaron proceeded to find himself in a Slavic mythology themed world where he’s believed to be Weis’ main character, Garland of Nowhere. Equipped with the powers of a RPG protagonist, Aaron must accumulate experience and equipment while navigating a setting that seems worse off than Game of Thrones and Dark Souls put together.
LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP is a LitRPG progression fantasy isekai that takes the grim out of grimdark with biting humor as well as intelligent exploitation of the rules. It has excellent world-building, a great supporting cast, a bit of romance, and lots of laughs. Oh and there’s a talking raven.
