Hounded (with two bonus short stories): The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book One   Dig into the book that Publishers Weekly calls “a superb urban fantasy debut.” This Amazon bestseller is a rip-roaring trip into the life of Atticus O’Sullivan, a centuries-old druid living in present-day Arizona. With over 8,000 five-star ratings on Goodreads!

This is a series you will get sucked in to and lose plenty of sleep over – trust me on this.  This is Book One – the author (a teacher) planned this as a trilogy…had he stopped at three he would not now be alive.  Probably my favorite character is Oberon his Irish Wolfhound who, because of drinking Immortali-Tea, is something like 40+ years old.

Many of these titles are actually parts of series – also 99¢ – so check ’em out. Great way to find new authors on the cheap.
