    About this ebook

    Jazz: Monster Collector, the serialized adventures of Mirth’s only deferred species bond collector. Stories just the right size for your commute, lunch break, or anytime you want a fast, exciting read. Want more? Follow episode by episode as Jazz seeks to uncover the secret force behind the inter-dimensional takeover of the planet she loved, a little place once called Earth.

    Episode 17- Broken:

    Despite her best efforts, Jazz is still very much alive. But she’s facing multiple warrants, she’s homeless, she’s eliminated most of her enemies and the latter is making her really depressed. With nowhere else to turn, Jazz and her loyal followers hide themselves away in Uncle’s underground submarine. Just when she thinks she might die of boredom, Ship arrives home, but he’s missing something, namely that demon soul Jazz always found so annoying. So why is she missing it? What happened to Ship? Who happened to Ship? Before Jazz can answer these questions, she going to have to answer the door and it’s not the welcoming committee come knocking.

    Jazz, Monster Collector, Season One: Earth’s Lament:

    Jazz is a deferred species bond collector, which is a polite way of saying, Monster Hunter. She hunts them and whenever she can she destroys them. Her hatred for the bvorcs, goblins, trolls, and fairies that live side by side with humans on the magically conjoined planets called Mirth runs deep. But only Jazz knows why, how deep, and what she’s willing to do to express it. But Jazz’s greatest enemy is the invisible power behind the hostile takeover that destroyed the Earth that she remembers. And that’s one enemy Jazz probably won’t live to face.

    A fast paced futuristic serial with a touch of noir and a lot of trouble.

      JAZZ, Monster Collector

      Season One: Earth’s Lament

      Episode-17

      Broken

      I was sitting at a small table, face propped against my hand and elbow resting on the tabletop, staring with half-lidded eyes at a big pickle jar full of a cloudy liquid. Every so often I’d flick my index finger off my thumb and let it plink against the side of the jar. Each flick rang the jar and sent one, two, or three, depending on how hard I’d hit it, specks of light soaring trough the goop. They looked like falling stars zooming through the atmosphere. And like meteors burning up, after a second the lights would fade out and leave the jar dark. Then I’d plink it again.

      Someone came in the room and clicked on the light, forcing me to cover my eyes from the unexpected brightness.

      Jazz? DJ, my right hand girl, said.

      Yeah, I said sitting up and massaging my face. I blinked my eyes several times coaxing the lazy sods into focus.

      Hey, she’s in here, DJ called into the narrow hallway. Her little voice echoed off the metal walls and I wondered who she was calling to.

      She sat in the chair to my right and stared at the jar. So, what are you going to do with it, now that… you know? She paused as if considering her word choices then she said, Now that you know what you know…you know?

      I slipped a sideways smile on. Yeah, I know, but I don’t know. I stared into the jar, searching for something that was there but that I couldn’t see. What does one do with a jar full of souls? I can’t take it to the Wizards Council without incriminating myself further. Last thing I need right now is to get caught red handed with this thing and the enforcer corps are turning over sticks and stones searching for me, every one of them is vying to be the one to bring me in, dead or alive.

      Not every one of them, Inspector Samuels said as he entered the room, stepping over the oval shaped door frame. He walked up to my left side. How are you, Cole?

      My head nodded absently. "About as well as could be
