Certified Gold: On the Air
Goes On Sale!
Blackwarren is proud to present Certified Gold: On the Air, the story of a young dragon making his way in the world of the Argent City. Available from September 1st in .epub format in our online store and Kindle, softcover, and hardcover at Amazon.com!
Samhain Secrets
In the Argent City, where supernatural creatures like dragons, fae, and tricksters live alongside blissfully unaware humanity, Halloween Night remains the craziest night of the year. A dragon who would be king struggles to establish his identity and find his passion in hosting a popular radio show, while the wily Kitsune seek to unmask a conspiracy against the feuding Tricksters of the City, where anyone could be the culprit. Across the City, a pair of Fae entrepreneurs stake their future on cleansing a murder site for the police, but a nosy Brownie can't accept the given cause of death and suspects murder. And finally, a hopeful actress takes a chance at scoring the lead in the reboot of a much-beloved vampire action series, only to find the audition process far more bizarre, and deadly, than even the most committed actor would expect.
Featuring contributions from Chris Shaffer, David DeMar, Vaughn R. Demont, and special guest Sierra Dean, the Argent City is explored through the eyes of the different denizens that call it home, and the one night a year where the brave and curious can discover the secrets lying just beyond the human eye.
Out Now!

"What? I told ya this wasn't that kinda story. But I ain't ever said the story's over..."
In The Argent City, just beyond the gaze of humanity, dwell dragons, lycanthropes, vampires, sorcerers, gods, and the Noble Fae holding court amongst them all. Dwarves work their wonders, Sluagh gather lore of the arcane, Brownies serve with unwavering loyalty, Trolls protect with exalted courage, Phouka tell their stories that make mortals into legend. Above them are the Sidhe, who rule over all as examples and bastions of grace, art, music, intelligence, and awe-inspiring beauty beyond the ken of mortal minds. All Fae serve as exemplars of what humanity can only dream of achieving.
And then there's the Goblins...
Breaking up is hard to do. Breaking up three times with the same person is even harder. Breaking up three times with the Prince of the Phouka is nigh impossible, but that's life for Nick Blackwarren, a Goblin Thief drawn into the Redcaps, a clan of murderers and assassins. Keeping his blades clean is difficult enough with a blood-hungry magical sword, but it's made more difficult when Nick is hired to track down the killer of a young artist and retrieve her final work, a symphonic magnum opus.
To finish the job, Nick needs a team. Fortunately, he has a fast-talking Gremlin hacker, a Kitsune with her finger on the pulse, his ex-boyfriend who hasn't taken the hint yet, and the last partner he ever wanted any connection to: an elite assassin with ties to the Royal Family of the Fae. Doesn't help that he's pretty easy on the eyes, either. The investigation will lead through chases on the highway, fleeing from dragons, tracking killers, and the greatest heist of a Goblin's life: the Royal Vault.
Sometimes it just takes a thief. Other times it involves jumping off a building.
Available in .epub format, compatible with Adobe Digital Editions and calibre on desktop platforms, Google Play Books and Aldiko on Android and iOS, and Apple Books on macOS and iOS.
Advisory: This is a work of urban fantasy with some romantic elements featuring a homoromatic demisexual male lead. This story is written in character voice, and as a result contains numerous instances of profanity. Does not contain explicit sexual content between two male characters, 'cause this ain't that kinda story. This story also contains scenes of physical violence. Please adjust expectations accordingly.
