1.The Lynx Who Came in From the Cold – On a 4th of July camping trip to Baxter State Park, Meagan Robichaud was surprised when an injured lynx stumbled into her camp and collapsed in front of her. Despite logic or reason, she chose to stay and treat the wound instead of running.
Even more inexplicably, she then found herself taking the surprisingly compliant animal home. Her plan was to call the authorities and have the animal taken in for treatment.
Then the cat asked her not to.
The Lynx Who Came in From the Cold is an urban fantasy featuring a sarcastic European lynx, psychically bound to a young computer security specialist. The two live in a world where a few people possess superpowers of questionable effectiveness, nominally wild animals with all aggression removed have been made into the pets of the rich and powerful, and malefactors lurk in the background, seeking to take advantage of those around them for their own benefit.
Supported by a psychic link that lets them feel each other’s emotions and speak each other’s languages, Hyperion and Meagan form an unlikely friendship, Meagan struggling to run her computer security business against a background of characters, even the supposedly friendly ones, that simply want to make life miserable for everyone around them. And Hyperion, struggling to comprehend a strange, illogical, and frequently violent, species.
2.Road Kill – On a road extraordinaire, I met a deer who wasn’t there.
Emily Charron is only a few weeks from getting her Ph.D., but getting the final parts of her dissertation done in time for the graduation deadline is becoming increasingly hampered by academic power struggles. Chris Rodriguez, her best friend since kindergarten, is doing all he can to keep her from being overwhelmed.
Hampering both is the fact that Emily is one of a small number of people born with what some might call superpowers. But super is the last adjective Emily would use to describe her totally useless ability. The ability to travel in time is considered one of the iconic powers, but Emily can only use it to go back and keep animals from getting killed on the road. She’s managed to keep it a secret from everyone, until now, and its revelation is going to change everything in her life, including her relationship with Chris.
Together, Chris and Emily need to find out what’s happening at the university as well as what’s happening between them. They’ve never lied to each other, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that they haven’t been entirely honest either.
Road Kill: A humorous, geeky, urban fantasy, romance, mystery with quirky time travel superpowers, academic skullduggery, a sarcastic Eurasian lynx, and two childhood friends that seriously need to sit down and talk to each other.
