When genres collide, Jed is there to pick up the pieces…and have a whole lot of fun in the process.

Jed Ryland is an agent of the Crossroads, always on watch for incompatible universes smashing together. This time out, a dystopian society where teens are forced to battle for their lives is invaded by monsters from a sword-and-sorcery fantasy realm.

Jed’s mission: keep the teens alive, repel the invasion, topple the oppressive government, locate the artifact pulling the worlds together, and prevent the utter destruction of both universes.

Jane is a busy baker making time for romance, but a meet-cute with the man of her dreams goes slightly awry when he’s eaten by a rampaging horde of zombies from a parallel universe.
Jed is a wisecracking hero, patrolling the multiverse and saving the day when worlds collide. Bloodthirsty ghouls invading a planet of love and light slapstick? Jed’s who you want at your side.
But Jane is worried more about love and cake than some pesky zombie apocalypse. To save this leading lady’s life, Jed will take her away from the safety of romance and comedy, into a nightmare of flesh-eating undead. Will Jane learn there’s more to life than love before her innocence is devoured?
Night of the Living Date is the second book in Brian Olsen’s Multiverse Mashup, a series of fast-paced genre-smashing adventures that began with The Dystopia Spell.

Jed Ryland is an agent of the Crossroads, protecting the multiverse when worlds collide. His mission brings him to the epic fantasy kingdom of Sacred Oath, where he finds Billy and Sally, kid detectives from wholesome middle America. These gumdrop gumshoes fell through a tear in the fabric of space and time into a world of murder, intrigue, and ancient magic, where the mysteries are much more deadly than a search for a stolen allowance or missing homework.

Jed and the sibling sleuths must solve the mystery of a king’s assassination, all the while fending off poisonous political maneuvering, invading bloodthirsty barbarians, and vengeful killer wraiths. All the clues are there – can YOU solve the case before they do?

Beverly Snow lives a quiet life in rural Maine. The widowed grandmother spends her evenings baking, watching television, and writing letters of complaint to network executives about the immorality of modern American culture. One cold autumn night, Beverly’s serenity is shattered by two unwelcome visitors – the spirits of a dead gay couple, haunting her home in a most unnatural way. Beverly is forced to get up close and personal with the very same sinners she publicly decries, but she may find the biggest sin under her roof is not what she thinks…

This 15,000 word novelette is a spooky, sexy, somewhat silly gay ghost story.
