Ander C. Lark
Purveyor of fine profanity, Ander C. Lark enjoys a shot of rum while smashing preconceived notions and giving society in general the finger. When they’re not busy being kind of a jerk (also, according to at least one of their friends, a fluffy evil kitten), they’ve got their nose in a book while really wishing they could sleep. Despite the chronic insomnia and constant anxiety, sometimes they make sense. Maybe. Sort of. Not really. They’re also probably haunted by the ghost of a small furry thing named Koi, if the randomly-appearing catnip mice are any indication.
Go for the CompanySomeone once said, "Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company." Gabe Rossi didn't believe in either and figured it would be a long time until he had to deal with finding out if he was right. Instead, he's dragged off a balcony the day after an unnerving meeting with a fortune teller and into a postmortem reality he never would have expected.Now Gabe is in Hell, which ends up being full of some really nice people who have necessary (if unpleasant) jobs. He's been promised a transfer to Heaven, but in the meantime Gabe will have to deal with a psychotic ex who's turned out to be a former despotic ruler of Ancient Rome, an aged-down grandmother who keeps causing chaos, corporate politics, a pet hellhound, a lot of unanswered questions about his own existence, and a growing attachment to the guy in charge of the place. What's a dead college student to do, aside from enjoy the company?Go for the Company is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series.

Go for the Climate
Zeke Graham grew up the black sheep of his ultra-conservative fundamentalist family, with parents that rule with an iron fist and siblings that scorn him for not being perfect enough. The night he finds out the older brother he never knew about has died, his world starts tumbling down. Luckily for him, not even death could stop his brother Gabe from meddling.With the support of his newly-demonic brother and other unexpected allies, Zeke is determined to bring down his abusive parents and make a life for himself. Now he just has to figure out if that life is going to be in the living world or with the family he’s rapidly coming to care deeply for. Either way, that life just might have to include an oddly familiar vampire who seems to delight in making him turn red. One thing’s for certain; Hell’s emotional climate is far better than he expected, and he’s not sure he wants to leave.Go for the Climate is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series.
