But this is the next full-length novel series I'll be putting out:
It's urban fantasy, set in Singapore. Here's a bit about the protagonist:
My name is William Langston King. You can call me Will if you really
feel the need, but skip Bill or Billy or god forbid Willy, unless you
want me to call you something nasty right back.
I
used to be one of the Magi; unarguably powerful, supposedly wise. I
have had dealings with powers and dominions whose names have never been spoken,
because they are impossible for a mortal mouth to speak. I have
traveled kingdoms and principalities you will never find on any map.
I know things, I have seen things... well, let's just leave it at
that.
Now
I'm just an uncanny gumshoe, a supernatural private eye. Most of my
power has been stripped from me, one way or another. Now I'm in
Singapore, hiding from a doom that I couldn't beat or trick or buy
off. The Ban Sidhe spoke my name, and all the Seelie and Unseelie
Courts, and all their
allies, are bound to heed that call and end my life. But Singapore is
the Switzerland of the supernatural realm. As long as I stay within
the boundaries of this ultra-modern city-state, all those would-be
assassins can go pound sand.
But
I still need to make a living. So now, instead of putting my thumb on
the scales of power, I chase off things that go bump in the night.
Then I chase clients for payment. When I have clients to chase, at least.
I am many things, just as we all are. But
what I got printed on my business card is “Private Supernatural
Detective.” If you want something done right, you generally have to
do it yourself. Except when it comes to dealing with all the many
deadly, nasty, dangerous Others. And printing. I tried making
business cards at home on the little laser printer, and man did they
look like crap.
