    About this series

    The dead don’t wait.

    But they do work in the factories, decide over policies, and hate to stay buried six feet under. Petula Upwood is about to find what the undead genuinely want. She follows strangers into the night to awaken a man who many would prefer to stay under. She will soon realize that being a necromancer is more about politics than perfecting the art of waking the dead. And she hates it.

    Herbert Ringworm, a sculptor and a werewolf-wrestler, is willing to kill to serve his justice. Not that easy when he is forced to pair with a genteel ghoul. The only thing he wants is Ona to be alive again.

    Morris Reinhardt, a banker, needs to get tonight right to save his late father’s bank from the ruins by starting a conspiracy. He just isn’t sure about his accomplices and should have known better than put Petula’s life in danger. Everything is going haywire.

    If they want to survive tonight, they need to cooperate.

    Penny for Your Soul is an economic and political satire with humans, ghouls, and undead willing to do anything to have a win. It is full of personal stories and a few jokes about metaphysics and humanity.

      A twisted tale of luck and greed! Greed that makes any god blush. Then again, according to the gods, humans are nothing but their playthings, and what luck gets them is nothing but misery. Edbert Pollock battles to save his bookshop, asking help from the gods, but they have a way of screwing up even the well-thought-out plans. Not only his but the entire kingdom's. It might be better if he skipped tonight's secret ritual, but the goat's head has to work. Harriet Stowe, the Prime Minister, does everything in her power to stay ahead of all the secret societies in the kingdom working against her. She is even willing to kidnap the Rabbit god of luck. But the avalanche Edbert Pollock starts might be too much even for her to handle. Sigourney Perri, a spy, is going to have a nervous breakdown and soon. She has not only lost her friend but started to hallucinate several feet tall rabbit who insists on her to help. Worth of Luck is a wry, action-packed, humorous fantasy novel set in Leporidae Lop. It is a satire of politics, friendship, and injustice. May contain carrots.
