Summary

"...a must-read for fans of urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic fiction, and anyone who craves a thrilling, thought-provoking adventure. A Shot of Gin is a shot of literary adrenaline that lingers long after the final page is turned." --Verified Reviewer

Juniper "Gin" Cain is pretty sure she's mostly human.


Working security for the vampire-owned All Saints Casino, Gin's got an edge on the other employees: vampires can't drink her blood, making her perfect for the job. But when a radiated zombie staggers into the casino's club, she's forced to expose the inhuman traits she's kept hidden.


Now, the powerful Vegas vampires want a piece of her. Her fanged boss Colton—a cowboy turned during the Nevada silver rush—helps her escape into the high desert, but the Vegas vampires and radiated zombies pursue relentlessly, eventually closing in.


Cornered and at risk of kidnapping, she accidentally triggers a nuclear explosion in a frantic bid for survival. Reckoning with the fallout, Gin realizes that if she wants to save the casino and the people she calls family, she must give up the idea of being human and uncover the origins of her mysterious blood traits—all while trying to keep her home at the Saints Casino, and the rest of Reno, from getting nuked.

    Justin Talemaker is a college dropout with zero prospects and even less social grace, especially after getting kicked out of his online gaming guild for being "that guy." Then a freak Oklahoma tornado flings him into Eyrth, a world governed by actual LitRPG mechanics. 
    Any sensible protagonist would roll a warrior or a mage. But Justin, still reeling from his latest flameout, makes a different bet: the obscure Socialite class. He’s all in on Charisma, hoping to master the skills that have always let him down. 
    The catch? His new abilities, like Dandy's Swagger, might turn heads at a dinner party, but they’re useless against a charging centaur. And with every other stat dumped, even basic survival becomes a high-stakes hustle, unless he can bluff, charm, or, in a pinch, smack his way through trouble with a surprisingly effective gentleman’s cane. 
    It doesn’t take long for Justin to realize he’s outmatched, outclassed, and possibly doomed. But if he can talk his way through dungeons, navigate nobles with a vendetta, and find allies who actually stick around, he might just pull off the impossible. 
    Because in a world ruled by numbers, the hardest thing to level up might just be yourself.

    Still working on securing the partnership with Grace Milligan for her fuel refinery while in Fairzie, Trader and Marsh cross paths with a scouting party that has followed stories about a fuel source. That’s only the tip of the spear. That scouting party has been sent by Ironhand Jackson, the boss of El Dorado. In El Dorado, Ant, a woman who works as an enforcer for Hoyt Lynch, the self-made lord of Boardwalk, arrives to kill Jackson. Lynch has learned of the fuel refinery’s existence and desperately needs it because his own fuel reserves are running out. 
     
    Though it takes Trader and Marsh time to figure out all the players in the violent game for resources, Trader isn’t going to back off from making the deal he wants. Before he knows it, Marsh has negotiated them into a rescue job, something Trader hates to get involved with because he’d rather deal in goods, that will take them to Boardwalk—and straight into Lynch’s guns and the LAV-25 Lynch has used to build his empire. Trader is even more angry when he learns that Marsh wants to go to Boardwalk for reasons of his own, and Trader considers those reasons to be wasteful and in his way. 
     
    With enemies on all sides, Trader and Marsh and their crew have to navigate a narrow path to rescue the man they’re sent after from Lynch in Boardwalk. But Ant is a player too, and she has her own secrets that will cost them dearly. 
     
    In Trader’s world, profit runs on blood and fuel, and he will do whatever it takes to seal the deal.
