Matthew Sullivan just wants sleep. There is too much going on in his life though – with newborn twins and a toddler to look after – and the effects of three months’ worth of all-nighters are starting to take hold. When an abrasive security guard starts stalking him at his coffee refuge at the local mall, he is forced to take action to protect his family. When he takes his concerns about his safety to police, they start to connect him with a spate of disappearances in the area. Matty must prove his innocence to clueless detectives, smash open a local drug ring and outsmart a homicidal maniac, and he’ll have to do it all in-between three-hour feeds. Free on Kindle.

He can’t be killed. But that protection doesn’t extend to his friends…

PI Bellamy Vale may have sold his soul to Hell, but his heart’s in the right place. So when a friend reaches out for help to find his missing niece, he readily agrees. But the straightforward case takes a dark turn when he discovers deadly ancient rituals and a mysterious vigilante prowling Little Japan.

Pushing hard to uncover the truth, Vale gets trapped by a supernaturally connected crime boss and faces a choice: steal a powerful rare artifact or say goodbye to his buddy. To disobey will end someone’s life, but giving in could summon an underworld force that not even Lady McDeath’s mighty powers can defeat…

Will Vale put his immortal status on the line and save the world from a fate worse than death?

Avenging Spirit is the third book in the hard-boiled Vale Investigation urban fantasy series. If you like smart-mouthed detectives, Japanese lore, and page-turning action, then you’ll love Cristelle Comby’s noir adventure. $2.99 on Kindle.

Cynical, bitter, and under no illusions about what life has in store for him, Sullivan finds the strength to fight corruption, bring justice to those who seldom experience it, and more often than not, kill the bad guy.

If Sullivan’s life wasn’t troubled enough, his path crosses that of a strange young woman and her sisters who are all too familiar with tragedy. 500 years in the future, hardboiled crime still reaches out and hurts the innocent.
