    About this ebook

    The fantasy world came to us.

    America struggles to adjust to new populations: elves, orcs, dwarves… Worst of all, the Goblin Invasion in the Mojave Desert.

    Vic Shatterspear makes his way in this new world as best he can. An orc with a whole lot of attitude. An ex-con with his own business. He hauls goblin hides to Sacramento for the bounties. He picks up the odd hitchhiker to break the monotony.

    Today Vic picks up an elf, and a whole lot of trouble.

    "The Hitchhiking Countess," a rollicking fantasy short story full of attitude and adventure. The first Vic the Orc story. From Stefon Mears, author of the Cavan Oltblood series and the Spells for Hire series.

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt

      The party was a failure. I can’t even tell you what a failure it was. There are no words. Only a great pain in my chest when I wake up. On the veranda. It’s better when I sit in the chair. Oh, but then I can see around. The gauzy curtains, pushed by
