The Palace Job

Whether it’s trying to do an Ocean’s 11-style heist with a group of D&D characters or saying, “Okay, imagine you had an extradimensional angler fish, and it extrudes a lure into our dimension, and let’s say the lure looked like a person, and now let’s tell the story from the person’s point of view,” I love taking absurd premises and executing on them faithfully. I also love over-the-top fight scenes, diverse teams, goofy banter, and happy endings, so if you go with one of my novels, chances are good that you’ll get one or more of those elements. Loch is an ex-military scout who uses her skills to rob the rich and save the world in this fantasy heist caper series. Joined by a crew that includes an illusionist wizard, a winsome necromancer, a talking magical warhammer, and a sexy unicorn, Loch launches increasingly over-the-top schemes to take the people who think they’re above the law down a few pegs. Loch forms the crew and goes after an ancient elven text owned by the Archvoyant, the most powerful man in the Republic. Along the way, she and her team will have to dodge roving daemons, shadowy assassins, unstoppable bounty hunters, and the dogged Justicar Pyvic.
