Mack N Me Odyssey Collection

Contains all books (Books 1-6) of the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series. From runaway to retrieval specialist… When Jocelyn Cutter flees an unsafe home-life her attitude puts her in Odyssey’s bad books. Escaping the independent mercenary company turned vigilante organization, she stumbles across the ‘Shady Marie’ and her dysfunctional crew—and learns that kicking free of Odyssey is harder than it looks…and that home and family can be found in unexpected places. Take a trip into the seedier side of intergalactic life, as Cutter discovers her place in the verse…and then decides if she’ll take it…or shake it to pieces. NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.

Contains the first three books (Books 1-3) of the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series. From runaway to space adventurer and retrieval specialist, Jocelyn Cutter has come a long way. This omnibus collects the first three books of the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series chronicling her journey. Taken from the human traffickers aboard the ‘Lockyer’s Transport’, Cutter finds herself an unwilling conscript for Odyssey, an unaffiliated para-military organization dedicated to protecting the spaceways and all points in between. Kicking free of them takes her onto the ‘Shady Marie’ and its not-so-merry band of mercenaries. Now she has to discover if she’s really leapt from the frying pan to the fire, or if life aboard the Shady is going to be better than she dares to hope. Join her as she finds out exactly that. NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.

Stow-away, Odyssey agent, trouble-maker, rogue, Cutter’s life’s been interesting no matter which way you slice it—and now it’s been put into chronological order so you can see what piece of mischief occurred when. From sassing Odyssey’s deadliest agent to rescuing stolen children or retrieving missing crewmates from their kidnappers, Cutter’s lived a complicated existence, and it doesn’t look like simplifying anytime soon. This collection of short fiction follows the adventures she found in between the novels in the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series.

From the personal to the impersonal, from times of kings, to the modern era, battle, its causes, and attempts to make peace has been a major part of human history…and so have those who’ve lived it, survived it, and tried to come to terms with living beyond it. These stories and poems shift from commemoration to reflection to exploration of causes and prevention, and bringing peace.

Not everything goes bump in the night. Some glide sorrowfully through castle halls and others stalk the dark, looking for prey. From monsters who died long ago and still walk our world, to creatures who herald death, to those mourning the loss of a king, or grieving a loved one, the short pieces in this collection are themed around death, loss and the undead. NOTE: This collection draws together short pieces from the flash fiction and poetry collections in this series, but includes a number of short stories that can only be found within its covers.

From ships lost to accidents in warp, space pirates and plague, to colonies facing unexpected rivals, and new lifeforms on the ground, this collection draws on some of the what-ifs and maybes surrounding humanity’s future among the stars. From flash fiction to novelette-length short stories to verse, the speculation runs from the idea of corporate takeovers of colony worlds, to unusual critter incursions, to the simplicity of plague, and how our future selves might cope when facing the gamut of human emotion on an extra-terrestrial stage.

Dragons. Every dragon piece I’ve written to date, is in this collection—and some can only be found in this collection. Whether they’re burning towns or bringing down starships, offering shelter or indulging in politics of the state, there’s a dragon present. Sometimes it’s in the background and sometimes it’s right up front where dragons belong, but it’s there. If you love dragons as much as I do, then this collection is created with you in mind.

I stayed off Mack's radar for a good three months, or so I'd thought. Maybe he was just letting me run. He found me, kicked my ass and hauled me right back on board. He'd been doing that on and off for the past twelve months. Problem was, Odyssey was also on my tail, and, when this job was done, Mack was supposed to hand me back. Not gonna happen. And, now I was back to Square One: Kick free of Odyssey & kick free of Mack... just as soon as the mission was done, because how could I turn my back on *that*? NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, this this story may not be to your taste.
