Although Jill Hamilton’s primary interest is the research and documentation of supernatural phenomena, scientific progress is not immune to human drama, and when Clara Nordstern’s estranged brother goes missing, she and Selene put the main mission on hold to help her find him. And their next case comes to them because Selene decides to investigate the murder of a young girl in a small Missouri town—a town with a history of mysterious disappearances. But what they discover turns out to be far more than anyone expected—and exactly what Jill has been looking for. Because when it comes to proving the unbelievable, sometimes you need the help of witches, undead warriors, and ancient gods.

Description:

It’s all well and good to use your space-manipulating oddity of a home to open a portal into a starship for a little innocent nebula-gazing, but when the crew of said ship catches you things can get awkward fast.

This is the problem encountered by Professor Odd and her friends, which turns out to be the first in a string of problems including, but not limited to: what is this ship even doing here? (It is in the wrong universe.) Are those giant space humanoids peaceful, or actually weapons of absolute destruction? (The answer is yes.) And last but not least: how is everyone going to get home? But Professor Odd has yet to leave a problem unsolved, and she’s not about to start now—even if it means risking her own life.

“Star Walkers” is the ninth episode in the fantastic adventures of Professor Odd, multiversal traveler extraordinaire, and her cohort: Elo the mutant wolf, Alister the misplaced university student, and Dave, the bright green tentacle creature.

  • Paperback available from: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, direct via Create Space and your local bookstore!

Description:

Asynchronous time travel is a tricky thing. Some universes are flexible enough to maintain various timelines without collapsing into paradoxical situations. Others get around the problem by not allowing it to happen at all.

But when Professor Odd and her crew visit one of these “temporally rigid” worlds they discover someone has been messing about in both the past and the future. What began as a piece of cake turned inexplicably to pie turns out to be a tremor from a catastrophe that occurred outside of conventional time—sending the universe into spiral of self-destruction.

Tumbled together with a mysterious boy and his time-traveling blue horse, Odd, Alister, Elo and Dave find themselves on an adventure across the eons to the far distant future. And to avert the impending destruction of the universe they must step outside time and space altogether.

Luckily, Professor Odd has just the thing for that…

“Chronostrophe” is the eighth episode in the serial adventures of Professor Odd, multiversal traveler extraordinaire, and her cohort: Elo the mutant wolf, Alister the misplaced university student, and Dave, the bright green tentacle creature.

Description:

Arms Division Ranger Omu Akit, a steadfast dog, would never question a mission. Not when thrown onto a deserted island with only a nervous Science Division Tech to lead them to the secret objective. Not even when their team Alpha is injured and he must take command of the disparate team of dogs—including the nervous Tech and a Medic with an agenda of her own.

Then an honest-to-human, mind-reading wolf appears on the scene, along with a not-a-human asking questions that reveal a conspiracy that shakes the foundations of canine society. Ranger Omu always knew it was better not to ask questions. Too late for that now.

“The Dogs of Canary Island,” the seventh installment in the Professor Odd series, follows the adventures of the universe-hopping Professor and her companions Alister, Elo and Dave. And in this case, seven cybernetically enhanced, anthropomorphic dogs.

  • Compare with American Gods and Supernatural
  • eBook available from: Amazon Kindle, NOOK, Kobo, iTunes
  • Paperback available from: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, direct via Create Space and your local bookstore!

Description:

Jill Hamilton would call herself an ordinary person. Certainly in comparison to the sharpshooting, monster-savvy Selene Shields and the six-and-a-half-foot tall, sword-wielding Clara Nordstern.

But Selene and Clara would say that ordinary people, on discovering that the heavy-metal rock star performing in Las Vegas is a vampire, would not want to get an impression of his teeth. Which is exactly what Jill Hamilton wants to do.

Not content to simply fight the supernatural forces of evil, Jill Hamilton is also set on understanding them—and if that means interviewing a vampire, hunting angels, or exorcising demons, then so be it!

Driving Arcana: Rotation Two follows the saga of two women in a big red truck—and one on an overpowered motorcycle—as they investigate a murder in the sewers of Las Vegas, the mysterious disappearance of a Utah boy, and help a charming, lapsed minister exorcise a particularly determined demon. It includes the fourth, fifth and six episodes in Driving Arcana, Wheel One:

  • 4. Sex, Blood and Rock ‘N’ Roll
  • 5. God, or Aliens
  • 6. Missionary Man

Available internationally from: Amazon Kindle, NOOK, Kobo, iTunes

In his multi-world travels with the mysterious Professor Odd, former university student Alister Bane has been to some terrific, and terrifying, places: a half-world on the brink of destruction, an alien planet which is actually a moon orbiting a gas giant orbiting a red dwarf star, a far-future Earth devoid of humanity, and a land ruled by dinosaurs and elves. He has never been to a world that frightened Professor Odd—until now.

Now he and the Professor and their companions—Elo, the intelligent wolf, and Dave, the green tentacle monster—are trapped in a world which, though apparently mundane, poses a great danger to all of them. For this is the Professor’s home world, and it contains a force which threatens to end their adventures and destroy the Oddity. Their key to escape lies in a secret long buried in the Professor’s shadowy past—but in uncovering it, what else will be revealed?
