As of June 1, 2013, The New York Magician's first volume is available for sale as an ebook! You can find it at Amazon, Kobo and Nook so far; should be on Apple soon! Sales of this book will serve as motivation to finish the second half of the second one :-) :-D

Michel Wibert was raised by his grandmother. He's well off, stubborn, independent, and has strong ideas about what goes in his hometown of New York City.

He can also see Gods.

With little to no magical talent of his own, Michel instead treats with the Elders, bartering for favors and trinkets. He started out doing so because his Nana taught him to. As he gets older, though, he comes to realize that he might in fact have a reason, a role - one he himself doesn't understand.

Yet.

Michel is the central character in an ongoing story called The New York Magician. Thanks for reading, and feedback is always welcomed.

Note: I have removed several episodes of the NYM from E2. This is because I'm in the process of completing the story arc they began as a fully-fledged novel; they're required a bunch of rewriting and polish, and I'm hoping to publish them as a complete book. One-off stories (and those which became the first book) remain on the site, and any new shorts that aren't part of the current novel will probably get posted here as well. Thank you for your understanding, and your patience. -TC
