    There are just a few bugs to fix first... Join this comedic romp through the land of Kazaran, where you'll find interesting characters, a vast RPG world, adult themes/language/innuendo (don't worry, it's not a harem/reverse-harem book!)...and a fair amount of bloodshed too! In a nutshell, Kazaran is intended for mature audiences who harbor very immature thoughts. Grant Palaski is a low-level bug tester at the world’s largest MMORPG, Kazaran Online. It was meant to be a starting point to a high-level writing job, but all he has to show for his master’s is a mountain of student loan debt, a grudging addiction to caffeine, and zero respect. When he is handpicked to lead a group of pro gamers into Kazaran's new innovation, everyone is shocked. Why him? Even Grant can't answer that question, but he's not going to pass up the opportunity of a lifetime. The mission is to go from a level 1 newbie to a level 50 master. Millions of jealous gamers from all over the globe will watch the adventure, though hopefully, there’s no cameras in the showers. Plus, he’ll get paid. A lot. Except he probably should have questioned more about why he was chosen. Someone inside the company doesn’t want him to succeed. When everything goes wrong, Grant and his party have to balance the challenges of the game with uncovering the mystery of who sabotaged their test run. Can a guy used to losing lead his team to victory? Or will it be game over for good?

    Lucky me. Hey, I'm Lilith Blackward and when I was young and stupid I commandeered a spell that ripped a hole in time and took me to the worst day of my life. Actually, my life was over but, well, you get the drift. Now I'm saddled with my older self's ghost who is very irritating. Yes, I realize I'm talking about myself. Why is life so complicated? So now I must figure out how I was murdered. How do I know I was killed...because Older Lilith's Ghost can't remember how she died and the only way that happens is if I was murdered. At least that's what they tell me. But in the meantime I'm a witch private investigator hired by a Coven detective to find another missing Coven detective. She was sent undercover and hasn't checked in for months. She was to infiltrate a cult called the Cold Dawn. Funny, that name sounds somehow familiar. Speaking of familiar...my familiar is a little different. His name is Sir Kain and he was a knight in his former life. Now he is a living statue. Why couldn't I have gotten a little furball familiar? Oh well, Sir Kain has grown on me and I wouldn't trade him for the world now, especially since he's saved my life one or 20 times. So hold onto your hats kids...this will be a bumpy ride! ***This is the First Book in the Lilith Blackward Cozy Witch Series***
