Head Rock Harbor Books in the small river town of Head Rock Harbor sees its share of drama. Usually, because Jackson Harper's cat, Rattlesnatches, can't give up his street cat ways and constantly-though, accidentally-terrorizes customers. However, for all of his trying, even Rattlesnatches can't stir up enough trouble to make Head Rock Harbor all that interesting. As a river town, Head Rock Harbor has plenty of shopping, eateries, and festivals for all the major holidays for tourists to enjoy. Still, Head Rock Harbor essentially invented small-town living.So, when Prescott Pemberton-a local artist who made it big in New York City before moving back to Head Rock Harbor-is found dead in the harbor, it's tragic, but no one suspects foul play. However, when it becomes clear that several people in town might have benefited from his death, questions arise. Was this death by misadventure...or was Prescott murdered?Jackson's shop is the center of daily gossip, and he hears plenty of whispers surrounding Prescott's death. He's concerned that the citizens of Head Rock Harbor are merely stirring up drama, but he's also concerned that his best friend, Detective Jeremy Morris, isn't taking Prescott's death seriously enough. Jackson's mother-who owns the local trailer park and Harper's Bar, Grill, Bait & Tackle-tells him to mind his business.Jackson has spent his whole life not listening to his mother. So, what else can he do but check into the gossip swirling around town? But with his best friend, the police chief, and the mayor and her husband ignoring any evidence he uncovers, Jackson finds his only ally is Rattlesnatches.Hopefully, curiosity doesn't get the cat killed...

Jacob Michaels...er...Rob Wagner lays in the muck at the edge of the woods, heart in his throat, breath coming in gasps, whispers filling his ears. A wolf howl sounds in the distance. Running for his life, Rob does everything he can to escape the visions and whispers...but some creatures are faster. By the time morning comes, a person will be dead and Rob will be unsure of whether or not he is responsible. With the help of Lucas, Rob has to quickly find out what exactly is going on--if they could just keep their hands off of each other. There is also the nagging feeling that Rob and Lucas can't trust their memories. Nor are they sure that they actually remember everything as it has happened. Things get even more complicated when Sheriff Dennard lets on that he knows who Rob really is. Throw a werewolf pack and its Alpha into the mix, a horde of paparazzi, Kobolds who can't decide who they are loyal to, and odd flashes of memories and dreams, and Rob can't help but want to give up.Most importantly...what is down in the cellar? If Rob figures that out...can life ever be the same? Or will everything start to get back to normal?

Rob Wagner remembers everything. Even things that haven't happened yet. Things that might never happen. Things that are possible, things that are probable, and things that are possibly inevitable. Nothing is set in stone yet--and the future balances on the edge of a knife. However, one thing is for certain...Rob is no longer Jacob Michaels.When Rob remembers his past, more than a decade of his life lost for a specific purpose, he now has to face his Oma, learn how to be Rob Wagner again, and figure out if saying anything about it will put the love of his life in more danger. However, his biggest problem isn't the fact that he now has his memories back. An oracle with vague advice, a book that drinks blood, a pack of werewolves, and a figure in a long, black, hooded cloak foretell a potentially dystopian future.How's a guy supposed to live a quiet life away from Hollywood, take in a bawdy drag show, and have lots of great sex with a man he loves deeply if forces of evil keep getting in his way?

Everywhere Jacob Michaels goes, trouble follows. Trouble was the reason he ran away from home at sixteen-years-old to go to Hollywood. Trouble was the reason he ran away from Hollywood to come back home to Point Worth, Ohio. Creating trouble everywhere he goes is why he is now standing in the Maumee River next to his bleeding boyfriend while bathed in light.How much trouble can Jacob Michaels...er, Rob Wagner...get into over the course of a day? There will be magic, visions, a gaudy Hollywood manager, tiny household creatures, witches, disposing of dead bodies, werewolves, kidnapping, murder...and flipped chickens. But by the end of the day, lines will be drawn and it will be a race for Rob to get away from it all.Or is it too late for running away to be the answer to all of his trouble?
