About this series

Lawyer Erin Tsong knows how to put on her game face, intimidate an opposing witness, play tough, but there's such a thing as carrying intimidation too far. At least that's what the judge says when she grows snakes out of her head. And Erin finds herself without a job, without a boyfriend, and with the threat of her mother coming to take care of her. Unfortunately, what happens to Erin is not unique--all over America, people are being transformed--and Erin is caught up in the backlash.

A human retrovirus has exposed long-suppressed DNA sequences, sequences that carry the genes for vampires, giants, shapeshifters, and even Gorgons. As the world struggles to deal with the consequences of the transformation, Erin finds herself caught in the middle. She's involved in a high-profile legal case, one aimed at classifying the transformed as violent criminals, but she's also threatened by a group of vampires who believe she's a traitor to the transformed community.

Author Rob Preece returns to the Return of Magic Plague universe in a story that combines a light first-person touch with some serious insights. Through the story, Erin gradually transforms from a self-centered lawyer to a woman with concerns that go far beyond the state of her bad hair.

Set in Santa Cruz, California, where Preece attended College, A REALLY BAD HAIR DAY is filled with entertaining characters who pick up on the unique character of that city by the sea.

    Danielle Goodman has been top of her class in the Warder Academy and thinks she deserves to pick her own job--vampire hunter. But when her mentor drafts her to ride herd on a lowly werewolf, Danielle can't turn him down--she owes Joe Smealy too much. And the werewolf might be important--before he was transformed, he was a famous scientist. Dr. Carl Harriman just might be the individual who can beat the disease that has struck ten percent of America's population and turned them into vampires, werewolves, elves, trolls, and other once-mythical and magical races. Danielle's mission--to make sure Harriman is working for the government and hasn't gone rogue. But to do so, she must move with Harriman into the 'zone.' As Danielle spends time with Harriman, they both begin to realize that some of the certainties they built their lives upon are lies. Danielle believes this argues even more convincingly for Karl to finish his cure--to end the magic plague. But Karl begins to appreciate his werewolf side--and realizes that the magical don't want to return to the drab life of the 'normals.' Despite a growing attraction between the two of them, they seem doomed to battle one another--especially when Joe Smealy learns that Karl has isolated the virus that could cause a new outbreak of the magic plague--among the normals. BooksForABuck.com favorite author Rob Preece delivers a sexy urban fantasy. IN THE WEREWOLF'S DEN combines elements of dark fantasy, a light dash of humor, a strong sense of place in a near-future Dallas, and a very different look at the role of magical and non-magical in an urban fantasy. Whether you're a long-time fan, or new to Preece's work, you won't want to miss this one. Also check out A REALLY BAD HAIR DAY--a lighter take on the Return of Magic Plague, also by Rob Preece
