Johnny Headcase-big, tough as nails and surprisingly quick, especially with a gun and a roll of quarters. When he finds out vampires have invaded his town, he doesn't hesitate to fight back. Pretty soon, though, he realizes just how many there are, and calls in reinforcements.

Katya-a healer and an inventor with a big heart. While quick and effective despite the wound or condition, her methods require her to harness and unleash the power of sex.

Lydia-a striking young (not quite human) woman who wears her favorite colors of pink and black shamelessly. She's fast and strong with a heart full of fiery determination and she's out for redemption, one bounty at a time.

Gavin-a wise ass werewolf who ditched his last name with the rest of his history. He lives to fight, loves to joke around and is fiercely loyal to his friends.

The four band together and join forces to take down King City's Master Vampire and his horde of vampires, demons, trolls and other monsters unleashed on the city in an effort to rebuild King City in his own twisted image.

All four parts combined into one complete novel.

• Part 1 - Bad Coffee and Worse Luck
• Part 2 - Coldblooded Hot Demons
• Part 3 - Upping The Stakes
• Part 4 - Storming The Castle

HEADCASE: Origins Bonus Material contains the four origin stories found in the original serialized 4-part novel as well as four additional bonus birthday stories for Johnny, Katya, Lydia and Gavin.

"A lighthearted, bonkers romp filled with over-the-top violence and casual sex, Headcase is what you'd get if the Underworld movies had a baby with Deadpool." - Patrick Freivald, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of JADE SKY and MURMUR.

"Like the A-Team on steroids, Johnny Headcase and his misfit team of bounty hunters are on the case to bring down a gang of vampires in seedy King City. Funny and fast, and with a great retro vibe, MacGregor and Lipp's HEADCASE is a riotous and irreverent supernatural crime noir for grown-ups. A ripper of a tale." - Lee Murray, award-winning author of Into the Mist.

He's crossed your path more than once, whispering in your ear, pointing out little temptations.

You're more than familiar with him. And yet he's one of the most unknowable beings in all reality. But by the time you're done with this book, he'll be... THE DEVIL YOU KNOW BETTER.

Collected here are twenty twisted tales of encounters with humanity's immortal adversary -- stories that will chill, thrill, incite, and delight -- delivered from some of the most imaginative minds our species has to offer!

We believe a more harmonious and supportive society begins with literacy. We believe that a successful life begins with, and is enhanced by, the written word. We believe that not everyone is able or inclined to pick up trash by the side of the road, give blood or donate financially to contribute to their community's well-being.

We know there must be an alternative. We believe that alternative is the Power of The Pen!

Ken MacGregor has a fascination for animals that borders on obsession. Here, for the first time, are all of his animal stories.

Some you'll recognize, of course. Some, however, only exist in these pages. The stories run the gamut from optimistic to horrific. From kid-friendly to pretty gruesome.

In addition to the obvious Lions & Tigers & Weres (that's were-creatures—mostly wolves—mostly one wolf), there are reptiles, rodents, and raptors, along with a menagerie of others.

So, smooth out your fur, preen your feathers, shed your old skin, and enjoy!

Strange. Beautiful. Shocking. Surreal.
