This is it. The dragon battle at the end of the world. Luke Miller's a hard-boiled P.I. with a knack for strange cases. He's also the Dragon Slayer of destiny, legendary warrior, and companion of the gods. It's all in an honest day's work. Humor is Luke's main defense against everyday struggles like traffic, the apocalypse-dragon, and shared custody. Not that it keeps him out of trouble. In fact, he's usually dead in the center of ...

THIS IS NOT A STORY. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. We are alarmed about our hometown of Minneapolis, MN. One week ago, police murdered George Floyd in the streets of our neighborhood. But this issue runs deeper than racist, homicidal cops. The time for complacency is over. It's not enough to be satisfied with the state of things, especially when those things are built on centuries of slavery and genocide. This message is a plea from the Ed...

There's trouble afoot. Big-a-foot. Luke Miller's up to more supernatural hi-jinx. How this cheap sleuth became the mortal escort to the goddess Freyja is anyone's guess. Yet there he is, somewhere in the North Woods of Minnesota, escorting the ancient beauty to a remote cabin in the wilderness. It's not what you think. Well, Luke might have ulterior motives, but Freyja isn't that kinda gal. When the Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) arrive, the ...
