M.D. Massey

After the loss of his girlfriend Jesse, druid-trained hunter Colin McCool swore off monster-hunting for good. Now a rogue vampire is killing the weak and defenseless in his city, and no one else seems to care enough to stop him. To end the slaughter, Colin has agreed to take up his sword one last time… but will this “one final job” be the death of him?

BLOOD SCENT, A Junkyard Druid Urban Fantasy Novella
Colin’s life has finally regained some semblance of normalcy after the death of his girlfriend, Jesse. He no longer hunts supernatural creatures. He has a job working in his uncle’s salvage yard that he enjoys. He’s even planning to start college in the fall.

And, he lives inside six acres of scrap iron, steel, and magical wards that keep the fae and other denizens of Austin’s paranormal underworld far, far away from him.

Which is just how he likes it.

So when he runs across a rogue vampire on the hunt, his first instinct is to report it to the local coven leader and then mind his own business. But Colin just can’t stand aside and watch as innocent people are slaughtered.

Which is why he’ll take up his sword one last time, for one final job. But with witches, doppelgangers, and demigods involved, this gig is turning out to be a lot more complicated and dangerous than he expected.

Hopefully, this “one last job” won’t truly become his last...

(Note to readers: The events in this 30,000 word novella occur before Junkyard Druid. It can be read as a prequel to the Junkyard Druid/Colin McCool New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel Series or as a standalone novella.)

Blood Scent: A Junkyard Druid Urban Fantasy Novella

Colin McCool is hellbent on bringing vengeance to the doorstep of the Fae. But to do so, he’ll have to complete an impossible task in exchange for his passage to the mystical realm of Underhill. Will he outwit the Fae and survive this deadly undertaking? Or, will he be trapped in Underhill… forever?

UNDERGROUND DRUID
A New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel From M.D. Massey
Book 4 In The Colin McCool Paranormal Suspense Series

I thought the job was done when we broke up the Fae’s child sex trafficking ring. We rescued the kids, killed the ringleaders, and everyone was supposed to live happily ever after.

But as it turns out, that only happens in fairy tales.

Because when you’re dealing with the Fae I know, there’s always another nightmare waiting in the wings.

Now I’m traveling into the belly of the beast—straight into Underhill, the mystical realm of the Fae. And to pay for my passage to and from the Faery lands, I’ll have to do something no one has ever done before.

I’m going to steal the source of magic that powers Underhill itself.

All I have to do is get to Underhill, steal a few uber-powerful magical relics from some Celtic gods, rescue the remaining children the Fae abducted, and get us all home in one piece.

Oh, and I also have to outsmart Maeve, Austin’s local faery queen… because I know she’s not helping me travel to Underhill out of the goodness of her heart.

Piece of cake, right? Yeah, right.

One thing’s for certain… if this mission is going to be my swan song, I intend to go down spell-slinging.

Underground Druid: A New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel

After Colin cuts off their connection to Underhill, the high fae lose their position of magical supremacy.

DRUID JUSTICE
A New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel From M.D. Massey
Book 5 In The Colin McCool Paranormal Suspense Series

When I came back from Underhill, I was certain that my dealings with the fae were done. Sure, I knew they’d be after me—I mean, I had cut off their unlimited supply of magic, after all.

I just didn’t think I’d have to help them anymore.

But when fae started dropping like flies and the Red Cap Syndicate came begging for my help, I felt kind of obliged to lend a hand. Thing is, nobody would have attacked the fae in such a brazen manner before I betrayed their queen.

So, I guess it’s my fault all the fae are being assassinated. Oops.

Do I feel bad about the killings? Nah. The fae have been preying on humans for millennia, and I think it’s about time someone turned the tables on them.

That being said, it’s still wrong—so it is my duty to put a stop to it.

The only problem is, I’m not the same druid who went to Underhill and lived. My Hyde-side is getting out of control again, and if I get in a tight spot I can’t take the risk of letting him out to save my skin.

So, I’ll have to solve this case and deal with the killers the old-fashioned way… with magic and guile, all while handing out a little Druid Justice.

DRUID ENFORCER, Book 6 In The Colin McCool Paranormal Suspense Series

After I became the druid justiciar for the central Texas area, I thought for sure I’d get a breather. All I wanted was a little time to lick my wounds after a long hard fight with a rogue wizard and his crew.

But like my Uncle Ed always said, wish in one hand and… well, you get the picture.

As it turns out, being the area’s supernatural sheriff isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, I get paid when I handle a situation for one of the factions—no complaints there. The problem is, it’s been nothing but putting out fires for the fae and the other major players since I got stuck with this gig.

Like it or not, I’m working a job that concerns both the fae and the vamps, chasing down a supernatural terror like none I’ve ever seen. And hell if a wannabe monster hunter didn’t get himself snatched by the very same creature that’s been dropping bodies all over Austin.

Now I have to find the kid, save the fae and the local vampire coven from exposure, salvage my relationship with my girlfriend, and figure out what to do with my live-in ex who may or may not have a magically-induced mental illness.

I wonder, do druid enforcers get paid vacation time? Because I’m definitely going to need a sabbatical after I figure out this whole mess.

That is, if I don’t get eaten by a demon or a yōkai before I solve the case… in which case, at least I’ll finally get some rest.

Druid Enforcer: A New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel

When a wizard tasks Colin with saving his world from a post-apocalyptic future, he’ll stop at nothing to complete his mission. With the clock ticking down to oblivion, he'll face an army of vampires and a power-crazed magician—one who could end the young druid and his world, forever...

I’ve seen a lot of craziness since I got clued in on the paranormal world. Cannibalistic giants. Necromancers raising armies of undead. Evil nature deities with an appetite for destruction. Old gods, and new.

But nothing prepared me for seeing the world descend into an undead apocalypse, in a future so bleak it gives me chills just thinking about it. Millions of lives, gone in the blink of an eye, and millions more turned into zombies, ghouls, revenants, and vampires.

In that future, humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. I know this because I saw it with my own eyes. This crazy fae magician sent me there, right after my ex tossed me through the windshield of a rare British sports car.

And it wasn’t even my car—I’d borrowed it from a shadow wizard.

Worst. Day. Ever.

The good news is, that future hasn’t happened yet. But it damned sure will come to pass, if I don’t find a way to stop it.

Now I’m chasing after a power-crazed magician who stole an artifact so deadly, it was once used to kill a god. He's in league with a coven of evil vampires, and I have it on good authority they’re the ones who trigger the apocalypse.

All I have to do is fight my way through an army of elder vamps, and steal a destructive magical artifact from a wizard so powerful, he makes me look like a two-bit street magician.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking on a countdown to Armageddon. I wonder, do they sell apocalypse insurance? Because the way things are looking, I might just want to take out a policy...

Druid Vengeance: A New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel

When Colin goes on the run from the feds, the young druid’s plans to hide in the wild quickly go awry. Now he’s at odds with a murderous specter, bloodthirsty skinwalkers, and an elusive cryptid that might be the key to it all. As each new showdown brings him closer to the truth, he realizes he’s facing a much deadlier enemy… and a fate worse than death itself!

After surviving my time in the Void, I just wanted a little peace and quiet. But a pissed-off special agent from a mysterious federal agency thinks I’m to blame for a recent string of magical disasters. So to avoid indefinite incarceration, I have to go on the run...

No problem, right? I’ll just head to the wild reaches of West Texas and hide out until things blow over in Austin. Drink some brews with my buddies, sing campfire songs, do some hiking and stargazing, and chill.

Or so I thought.

Unfortunately, creatures lurk along the border that are just as sinister as the monsters back home. A murderous specter is haunting the Rio Grande, revenants are prowling the park, and a legendary cryptid looks like it’s to blame. To complicate matters further, an ancient skinwalker is calling in a debt I owe—one that could cost someone their soul.

In the end, I’ll play a deadly game of cat and mouse before I finally face the person behind the schemes and lies. But my enemies don’t know what they’ve bargained for, because at the end of the day, a druid will always have his due…

I thought that learning magic from a druid master was tough, but that was before I started taking lessons from an insane quasi-god.

For six long months I’ve been suffering under Click’s tutelage, boning up on my magic skills so I can survive the wrath of several Celtic gods and find a cure for my druid mentor, Finnegas.

It’s my fault that the old man is hanging on by a thread, and I’m determined to save his life.

Unfortunately, DC has been damned hard to find. And just when we finally got a solid lead, Loki’s brother showed up to throw a wrench in the gears.

Okay, so I may have killed Loki’s nephew. It’s not like he didn’t have it coming.

Bottom line? I might have to fight an army of fire and frost giants to save Finn’s life.

It’s a good thing I brought my wading boots, ‘cause it’s about to get deep…
