Uncollected Anthology Series

Tong Yi carries the mysterious message of Zhang Gua Loa back to his boss. The immortal had said there would be war. But between whom? And why? Huli Transport takes advantage of the situation to become the messenger service of choice in the war zone. They promise to remain neutral, and to deliver messages to all sides.  In the meantime, Tong Yi has battles of his own to fight, both with his older brother and his own growing understanding of magic. But in the middle of a war, is it possible for him to remain neutral? Or has his side already been chosen for him? This novella is a sequel to the story, “Dancing with Tong Yi” which appeared in Uncollected Anthology, Issue 1: Magical Motorcycles.

Tong Yi waits for something to happen—for his brother to return from the war zone, for his boss to trust him again, for his magical training to be expanded.  Something. Anything.  Then powerful wizard Uncle Bei takes him to The Sweet Shop—a magic shop more special and strange than Tong Yi has ever imagined.  Tong Yi finally returns to the war zone as well, delivering a message to a client he'd never expected.  But he must now make a decision about the war, about his place in it, about his magical training.  And everything, everything, has a price. Sequel to, "Dancing with Tong Yi" and "War on all Fronts." 

When Helmie—a pampered Persian cat worth millions—goes missing, the estate hires not one but two investigators to find him. The first, Kelsie, uses magic to track down lost animals. The second, Travis, finds people, not pets.   But when the pair find themselves on the same trail to Helmie's whereabouts, they realize finding Helmie will prove only the beginning. Rescuing him might just take more magic than either of them realize.     "Rusch is a great storyteller." —RT Book Reviews

Rémy's magic gives the Allies and the fae one last chance to escape. But the plan, and the magic it requires to succeed, might demand a sacrifice too great for Rémy to bear.

Coyote shapeshifter Elena sits sweating in her car with a broken AC on a hot Southern California day. During rush hour. Trapped.   Then she scents something horrifying: terrified animals. More trapped than she is.   Her abilities—both coyote and human—stand between freeing the animals, getting taken herself…or killed.   Because people who traffic wild animals tend to get rid of anyone standing in the way of their big payment.   (Want more Elena?
