About this series
This Is the End
Ex-adventurer Max Gibson just made the biggest mistake of his life, and all of Dragon City is going to pay for it. Because of him, there's nothing to stop the Ruler of the Dead from renewing her centuries-old war on the city Max and thousands of other souls call home. He would volunteer to be at the vanguard of those brave soldiers standing strong against her horde — if he hadn't been tossed into the Garrett, the most impregnable prison on the planet, instead.
The Imperial Guard would have executed him for his crimes on the spot if the heir to empire — a young dragonet still wet behind his wings — hadn't imprinted himself on Max at the moment he hatched. Separated from his scaly ward and anyone who might call him friend, there's little Max can do but watch the city's defenses crumble before the Ruler of the Dead's relentless zombie army.
The End Times have come to Dragon City, and if Max doesn't find a way out of his cell soon, he's going to be the last person alive to see it.
End Times in Dragon City is the third novel in the Shotguns & Sorcery setting.

Hard Times Have Come to Dragon City Retired adventurer Max Gibson has seen better times. Ever since he and his treasure-hunting friends struck it big and called it quits a decade back, it seems like things have slid downhill. It’s hard enough to scrape by in a sprawling mountain city in which elves and dwarves live higher than humans in every way. It’s worse at night, when the groans of the zombies laying an eternal siege to the city provide a ceaseless reminder that the Dragon Emperor himself is the only thing that keeps the hordes of hungry dead from storming the walls. When Max is called in to help invesigate the wholesale slaughter of a long-dead dwarf friend’s family, he thinks maybe he’s finally hit bottom. Then the love of his life — the elf who left him when their careers as adventurers ended — walks back through his door, desperate for his help and with nowhere else to turn. It’s not getting any easier. That’s for sure. Hard Times in Dragon City is the first novel in the Shotguns & Sorcery setting.

If It Wasn't for Bad Times… Ex-adventurer Max Gibson wouldn't have any times at all. Saddled with babysitting the heir to the Dragon Empire, a deadly dragonet with a mind all its own, Max wishes he could hunker down in his bar and shut out the rest of Dragon City, but it seems everyone wants a piece of him. If the scum down in Goblintown aren't trying to throw him to the zombies on the other side of the Great Circle, it's the Imperial Dragon's Guard trying to haul him into protective custody. Or the Wizards Council hoping for a closer look at the dragonet. All that goes out the window, though, when Belle Sanguigno — a heartbreaker of an elf who's shattered Max more than once — turns to him for help. She needs to find the body of her sister, who Max and the dragonet killed last week, or pay the ultimate penalty for her loss. And the bad times keep getting worse. Bad Times in Dragon City is the second novel in the Shotguns & Sorcery setting.
