The King Henry Tapes

My BIG BLEEPING SERIES.  Urban Fantasy, The King Henry Tapes are going to show you something new and characters the publishers would pooh pooh, or what's the point?

King Henry Price, yes that's his name, get off his ass about it, is our main character, the teller of our tales. Tales. Plural. One about his days at the Asylum...ehm...the Institution of Elements, Learning Academy, and Nature Camp. One about his days running his Artificer shop.

Expect cursing. Expect fighting. Expect teenagers being teenagers. Expect adults being adults.  Expect the PULPANORMAL.

The Foul Mouth and the Fanged Lady (CURRENTLY FREE!!!)



Synopsis
King Henry Price is fourteen and he loves everything he's not supposed to--stealing, cursing, and fighting to name a few. One day after his usual hour of detention he comes home to find an enigmatic woman named Ceinwyn Dale sitting in his kitchen, telling his parents lies about a special reform school. What she tells King Henry is different, she tells him he's a mancer, a Geomancer to be exact, that he's special, one in million maybe. She sure ain't a fairy giant and King Henry sure as hell ain't Harry Potter, but why not? Has to be better than the life he's already got. 
King Henry Price is twenty-two, a recent graduate of the Asylum as an Artificer. With the special ability to create lasting items of the Mancy, he's spurned the Artificer's Guild and struck out on his own to found an Artificer workshop looking to do things his way. One night, a vampire baroness claiming she's named Anne Boleyn walks into his shop, telling King Henry he's going to help her, and she's not taking 'no' for an answer. King Henry is pretty sure the whole name thing is just a joke, but only pretty sure...

Little King Henry
I want to at least have one short story follow each novel in the series, a break from the 1st person narrative so you see more of the world and fill in the gaps.



Synopsis
Ceinwyn Dale has been all over the world as the Head of Recruiting for the Institution of Elements, finding the brightest mancers along the way. But how exactly did she find out about her most troubling recruit just days before the new school year? How did she find out about King Henry Price?

The Foul Mouth and the Cat Killing Coyotes


Synopsis
King Henry Price, honored and learned graduate of the Institution of Elements, has settled back into his normal life, running his Artificer shop, creating new designs, selling old ones, and ignoring the occasional explosion when testing goes haywire. He's been minding his own business...only when he happens across a bunch of bullies picking on a woman, he can't resist the opportunity to smash faces, can he?

King Henry never expected the bullies would be part of the Coyote Nation, he never expected that he could be starting a war, and he surely never expected one of his lost sisters would be on the other side.
