We’re not troublemakers. We’re trouble finders.

Step into a world where shadows hold secrets and cryptids rule the night. Ruby's dream of exhilarating adventures takes a spine-chilling twist when she becomes an apprentice at The Goodnight Agency. But the supernatural underworld she thought she knew proves far more treacherous—and thrilling—than she ever imagined.

Goodnight is a hub for all things enigmatic and bizarre, a haven for creatures straight out of tabloid tales. Yet, as Ruby soon learns, mysteries are not merely stories. When an innocent old woman narrowly escapes murder, Ruby becomes a suspect .

Amidst the chaos, Ruby finds herself entangled with the Skohlars, a clandestine race of intelligent rats, entrusted with secrets potent enough to reshape reality itself. And as if that's not enough, a group of kidnapped Sasquatches unravels a feud among The Scene's own Guardians, leaving the agency in a perilous struggle.

The Long Goodnight is a pulse-pounding adventure where friendships are tested, mythical creatures come to life, and the line between reality and fantasy blurs.

About the Author

Tyler Tork

Techie guy by day, crime fighter by night. But when crime is slow, as it often is in his quiet hometown of Plymouth, Minnesota, Tyler puts away the mask, cape, and ocelot, and finds a corner to scribble in. The victim of a dark destiny, he whirls through life with a set of shaky assumptions and a mug of rapidly-cooling java. Bewildered, scattered, querulous (some say curmudgeonly), he nonetheless attempts to entertain and inform. Someday, his alien masters will return for him. Until then, buy his books.

On his blog at tylertork.com, he answers your questions about anything. Answers are not guaranteed to be correct or useful, but hopefully are entertaining.

Mariana’s Knight

A father and son vanish. A legend is born.

On February 1, 1896, Albert Fountain-prominent attorney, lawmaker, and fearless militia leader-set out across the desolate Tularosa Basin with his eight-year-old son, Henry. Despite threats against his life, Albert was determined to see justice served, returning home after securing indictments against powerful cattle thieves. His wife, Mariana, believing no one would harm a man traveling with a child, had urged him to take Henry along. Before they departed, she entrusted Henry with a small ivory horsehead fob-a symbol of his promise to protect his father.

They never made it home.

Their wagon was found abandoned in the vast desert, the horses missing, and a patch of blood-soaked sand glistening in the sun. Though their bodies were never recovered, whispers of vengeance and survival grew into legend-some say Henry lived to avenge his father’s murder. Others claim the truth was swallowed by the shifting desert winds.

Rich in historical detail, Mariana’s Knight brings to life a true unsolved mystery of the American Southwest-a tale of tragedy, resilience, and the undying bond between a mother and her son.

 

Bobby Robot

In a world run by machines, one boy must prove the heart still matters.
Sixteen-year-old Bobby is the last human on a planet full of robots. His only shot at survival—and maybe restarting the entire human race—is to pass the Programming: brutal training designed to erase emotion and turn him into a flawless, logic-driven mind.
Fail, and his consciousness is uploaded into the Tether: a robotic shell with no feelings, no free will, and zero future for humanity.
The bots say this is the way forward. That emotion is a bug, not a feature. That humans weren’t worth saving in the first place.
At first, Bobby’s not sure they’re wrong.
Then Jen crash-lands on the planet. She’s unpredictable. Loud. Very human. And she makes Bobby start to feel—really feel—for the first time in forever.
Now Bobby has a choice: conform, upload, and lose what little humanity he has left…
Or risk everything to prove the bots wrong—even if it means failing the test, breaking the rules, and learning to care in a world built not to.
Bobby Robot is a high-stakes, heartfelt sci-fi adventure about identity, emotion, and the glitchy, chaotic brilliance of being human.

 

Where the Crows Fly

In Breyer, Texas, a murder of crows circles overhead the morning Big Andy Connor is found facedown in the mud behind his saloon.
The Crow Fly wasn’t just a brothel. To the women who live and work there, it’s shelter. Hard-won. Held together by grit and necessity, for better or worse. With Big Andy gone and the law circling just as surely as the crows, they can’t wait for protection or permission. They take the reins. Old Peg, Kate Dawson, Molly Brewster, and Cocheta band together to keep the brothel running—because when the world turns its back, women turn to each other. Emily Augusta, the local dressmaker who found Andy’s body, steps in to manage the books.
But in Breyer, the past never stays buried.
As Sheriff Jed Thornton hunts for a killer, old grudges surface, a slick stranger starts buying up the town, and the women of The Crow Fly learn that justice—like grief—isn’t always clean. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s cold. And sometimes, it flies on black wings.
Where the Crows Fly is a haunting Western mystery from Will Rogers Medallion–winning author Sharon Frame Gay—a story of survival, sisterhood, and the thin line between guilt and grace in a town too good at keeping its secrets.
