The Magnetron Chronicles, Volume 1 Phineas Magnetron is an eccentric Nineteenth Century inventor blessed with a strange gift he doesn't completely understand. As a former soldier and current member of the Hogalum Society, an inscrutable secret organization of crime fighting adventurers, Phineas is no stranger to peril and derring-do. But when the Society founder dies, Phineas embarks on a daring and improbable caper to bring the good doctor's greatest dream to fruition posthumously. In the process, he not only horrifies his Society brothers, but unearths a haunting and compelling mystery. About The Magnetron Chronicles: The Magnetron Chronicles is a serialized steampunk tale told in the grandiose style of Jules Verne, but with satirical Twainian wit. Chapter by chapter, the story builds as quirky new characters join the fray and perplexing new mysteries and situations arise. Traveling the globe, Phineas Magnetron and his Hogalum Society encounter suspicious policemen, mentally ill criminals, wood-craving aliens, a witch doctor, a mad oracle, and a cross-dressing female matador, among many others. However, this "steam dream team" always manages to triumph over impossible odds and improbable obstacles as they preserve order in a disorderly world.

Have you ever imagined your wildest dreams come true? Well, Sixteen-year-old Vance Kadaric certainly has. But, sadly, his life has been going into the bizarre ever since he moved to Portland with his Techno-geek sister, Angelika after his grandfather died and no one seems to be able to find his grandmother… As if Vance's life just couldn't worse, one night when he gets himself stabbed in a dark alley that smells like cat pee, everything changes for the worse. If that wasn’t enough he loses his cell phone and kills his English teacher in the same day. Karma Sucks. Vance finds himself smack in the middle of a war between two worlds he didn’t even know existed. After lots of missed homework, and too many trips to the library to be comfortable, Vance discovers what he truly is: AngelBlood Jinn. Descended from mythical beings that can control and manipulate reality, Vance discovers he belongs to a new world of danger, control and love. Vance is going to save the world whether he likes it or not, it just might not be the world he used to know. He doesn’t know how he’s gonna do it or how to use his birthrights, but he had better learn fast if he plans to survive, some strange people are tracking him, hunting him... Autumn “Jaz” Lexmark used to be a spoiled rich girl. She had it all, cars, clothes and all the adoring boys she could ever hope for. Except she never wanted any of it. She was content to stay in the city's large sprawling library and read books than go shopping in SOHO. Then she began hearing the thoughts, voices, the sounds were deafening. She made the mistake of telling someone too much, so they threw her into a mental institution like it was going out of style. Now, seeing faces where there are none and hearing voices, Jaz doesn’t know what to do. She’s scared in an asylum and sure that the faceless man in a white tuxedo is dangerous. She knows that there is only one who can stop him, too bad she’s in a nuthouse…
