Hook, Line, and Slinker

What if your favorite wizard grew up? A funny urban fantasy that gets at the heart of what it means to be the guy who has to squish the bugs, not matter how big they are.

High winds and storm warnings?

Not exactly the best time for Eugene Law to be out on the road, but when a message from an old friend lights up the cell phone of West Florida's finest Magician, Tropical Storm Florence has to take a back seat. The Gloom is hungry, and it's got a hankering for human flesh. 

Umbralings, truculent spirits, and a very progressive pair of glasses take Gene Law to the brink in this short story from the Tales of Weird Florida.

Hook, Line, and Slinker 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. 

Hook, Line, and Slinker 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.
