A junkyard dog saves the galaxy ... but his reward leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing ever happens at O’Malley’s Supernatural Scrapyard amongst the piles of rusting and broken magical relics. Jesse, a washed-out witch, and her canine Rottie-Pitt mix Familiar aren’t expected to do more than keep an eye on things at their new assignment ... until a magical mobster shows up demanding entry.  Jesse and Larry must race against the clock to unearth and protect a long-forgotten magical relic that can either bend time and space ... or destroy the universe. The magical mobster plans to use the relic to export his criminal syndicate to the stars. After all, crime pays, and there’s a whole, big universe to exploit ... if anyone is left alive.* The first 17 chapters are the prequel to the main Crossroads Keeper series. It features the 'before' story of Larry, and is told from his perspective. After chapter 17, Larry partners with a new female human (kind of) protagonist and they work together as magical partners to save their newly-assigned Crossroads from an ancient goddess determined to bring chaos to all the realms. Gods of myth and legend mingle with the supernatural creatures of urban fantasy in this modern tale filled with danger, humor, and even a canine super-hero. IMPORTANT NOTE: This book, and the series, is written as Urban Fantasy for adults. It contains some swearing, a bit of violence, and a death (or two). It is not a children's or YA series. Just a head's up.
