Ballroom and Chain

What if your favorite wizard grew up? A funny urban fantasy served family style--date night included.

Magick and mystery in the Sunshine State.

The Hounds of Helvet are circling, and so are the valets. Finding a good parking spot is the last of Eugene Law's worries when a Bridge Troll curse and some jewelry with a mind of its own turns West Florida's best Magician's evening sideways. 

Gene and his wife Porter may have a night off without the kids, but this charity ball will leave them with little to feel charitable about. 

Get lost beneath the cypress in this first taste of Weird Florida.

Ballroom and Chain is the second short story in a fun and humorous new urban fantasy series for fans of Jim Butcher (Dresden Files), Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson), Jonathan L. Howard (Johannes the Necromancer), that prefer a little Florida in their fiction such as the likes of Mike Baron (Florida Man), Margaret Lashley (Freaky Florida Mysteries), and Ward Parker (Snowbirds of Prey). 

If you've ever wondered what it would be like if your favorite tough-as-nails urban fantasy heroes had to grow up, juggle a career, spouse and kids, then this story is for you. 

Ballroom and Chain was an Amazon #1 45-Minute Short Read for Science Fiction and Fantasy and gives us a glimpse at the off hours of West Florida's favorite wizard. For more Eugene Law, be sure to check out Dead Set, the first full-length novel in the Tales of Weird Florida series.
