EXILE pre-orders!

And lo, my urban fantasy thrillers about an occult hit-man running home to the Gold Coast in order to duck the start of Ragnarok will hit digital shelves once more in January 2020.

Keith Murphy is back, yo, in a shiny new edition you can pre-order now.

Keith Murphy’s coming home to a city full of demons. What’s following on his heels is much worse. 

Ever since he left the Gold Coast, Keith Murphy’s been the triggerman for the sorcerer-assassin Danny Roark. Then they screwed up a job and all hell broke loose, unleashing a vengeful cult of necromancers eager to take down the hit man who gunned down their leader and reclaim their master’s soul from the bullet around Keith’s neck. Roark was already running when Keith made it the rendezvous, and the old man left Keith three simple instructions: go home, lie low, and wait for me to call.

Easier said than done.

The Gold Coast is full of old friends and even older enemies, and nobody is happy to see Keith back on his old turf. He’s got to cut a deal with the local demons and survive an ex-girlfriend who turned to the dark side, all while trying to duck the agents of the Raven Cult using magic to track Keith down and cut off his head.

Roark’s always handled the weird stuff, leaving Keith to focus on guns and tactics. Now the old man’s gone and Keith’s running solo—and he’s got to figure out how to use what he knows to survive the hell that’s coming.

If you ever wanted to see Lee Child’s Jack Reacher or Max Allan Collins’ Quarry taking on demons, sorcerers, and magic, you won’t be able to put down the Keith Murphy series.

Ebook available for preorder from Amazon (AUS | US | UK); paperbacks will be added on Release Day, January 29.

Longtime readers will remember the first release of Exile, which came out through Apocalypse Ink Press back in 2014 and built upon a project originally written for the Edge of Propinquity ‘zine. I had a ton of fun revisiting the project and doing little tweaks, in addition to refining the branding to focus on some of the non-fantasy influences. In my head, this series was always Quarry meets Harry Dresden, or John Wick crossed with Constantine.

The second book in the original Flotsam cycle, Frost, is scheduled for release in February 2020, with the final book, Crusade, following in March.
