M.D. Massey describes himself as the prototypical INTJ. His eclectic background provides him with a rich tapestry of experiences to draw on when crafting fiction, as evidenced by the believable worlds and relatable characters he creates.

As a former Army combat medic (91B), professional martial arts instructor (Krav Maga, JKD, FMA), and women's self-defense instructor, he possesses a unique understanding of close combat, firearms, and criminal violence that few authors can match. This knowledge provides an element of realism to the Druidverse™ novels, setting them apart from other fantasy series.

Mr. Massey lives in the Texas Hill Country with his family and a huge American bulldog that keeps him company while he writes. When he's not in his ...more

Because Patricia writes romance that's just on this side of readable for a dude like me. And the rest of her stories are fantastic. So, I guess it's because I don't have to skip those parts when I read her work. I know, lame, but it's the truth.(less)

Hi, Blood Ties is marked as book four in the novella series but I can't seem to find what book 3 is - can you advise?

M.D. Massey Hi Lisa!

Admittedly, the novellas are a bit out of order. There are two prequel novellas and two short story collections in the novella series, and all serve to expand on and support the main narrative in the Colin McCool urban fantasy/paranormal suspense novel series ("Junkyard Druid," "Graveyard Druid," "Moonlight Druid," etc).

Regarding the prequel novellas, "Blood Scent" occurs before Book One in the main novel series. However, "Druid Blood" happened way before "Blood Scent" (it's a sort of origin story for Colin) and it's currently listed as Volume Three in the novella series. Confusing, I know, but I listed them for sale on Amazon out of order, and I haven't yet gotten around to changing the covers to put them in chronological order.

To help you sort out the confusing book order, here’s a chronological reading order for books I’ve released in the Colin McCool universe to date:

• Druid Blood
 • Blood Scent 
• Junkyard Druid 
• Graveyard Druid
 • Moonlight Druid 
• Underground Druid
 • Blood Circus 
• Druid Justice
 • Blood Ties
 • Druid Enforcer 

***SPOILER ALERT***

You may also wish to read my THEM zombie apocalypse series, as Colin makes appearances in Books Three and Five. But be advised, you don’t need to read those novels to know what’s going on in Colin’s narrative.

I hope this clears things up for you!

Druid Nova Has Arrived!

The wait is finally over. Druid Nova is officially live, and I couldn’t be more excited to get this book into your hands. This one has been a labor of love from the very first page. If you’ve been following The Druid Apprentice series, you already know what to expect: a world where ancient magic collides with the modern world, where monsters lurk just beneath the surface of everyday life…

“You know, your story is not all that unique in the supernatural world. Many a were-creature has had a similar experience the first time they turned. And, similar to your predicament, many therianthropes have tried to commit suicide in the midst of their grief and self-loathing, only to wake up the next day with one less round in their gun.”
