0) Druid Blood
When You’re Hunted By Dark Fae, The Only Option Is To Hunt Them Back! Things are going great for Colin. He’s the star of his high school baseball team, he has a killer motorcycle, and his mom’s career as an artist is finally taking off. Then, a chance encounter with a leprechaun reveals that nothing in his world is as it seems…
Soon, Colin and his friend Jesse are tasked with taking out the evil creature who cast a spell over their town, the ancient vampire known as the Avartagh. Now, they’re being hunted by the unseelie fae, “fairies” who are are deadlier, real-life versions of their fairy tale counterparts.
Thus they must attempt the impossible, and save their town from the evil fae who’ve taken it over. And if Colin and Jesse don’t stop the fae, the Avartagh will destroy everyone and everything they love… and he’ll kill them in the process.
(Author’s Note: This novel is the prequel to Junkyard Druid. Originally released as a YA novel, it serves to provide a backstory to the Junkyard Druid series.)
0.5) Blood Scent
After the loss of his girlfriend Jesse, druid-trained hunter Colin McCool swore off monster-hunting for good. Now a rogue vampire is killing the weak and defenseless in his city, and no one else seems to care enough to stop him. To end the slaughter, Colin has agreed to take up his sword one last time… but will this “one final job” be the death of him?
BLOOD SCENT A Junkyard Druid Urban Fantasy Novella, #1
Colin’s life has finally regained some semblance of normalcy after the death of his girlfriend, Jesse. He no longer hunts supernatural creatures. He has a job working in his uncle’s salvage yard that he enjoys. He’s even planning to start college in the fall.
And, he lives inside six acres of scrap iron, steel, and magical wards that keep the fae and other denizens of Austin’s paranormal underworld far, far away from him.
Which is just how he likes it.
So when he runs across a rogue vampire on the hunt, his first instinct is to report it to the local coven leader and then mind his own business. But Colin just can’t stand aside and watch as innocent people are slaughtered.
Which is why he’ll take up his sword one last time, for one final job. But with witches, doppelgangers, and demigods involved, this gig is turning out to be a lot more complicated and dangerous than he expected.
Hopefully, this “one last job” won’t truly become his last…
(Note to readers: The events in this 30,000 word novella occur before Junkyard Druid. It can be read as a prequel to the Junkyard Druid/Colin McCool New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel Series or as a standalone novella.)
1) Junkyard Druid
A cursed druid, blackmailed by a faery queen to find a missing magic rock. Let’s just hope they don’t hack the druid off… for everyone’s sake.
Name’s Colin McCool. Folks call me the Junkyard Druid. I hate that name.
Despite my last name, I’m not “cool” like the other hunters in town. I don’t run an occult bookstore, I’ve never owned a Harley, and I didn’t inherit a family fortune passed down through generations of hunters before me.
And I kind of have this curse on me that’s messed up my life.
So, things have gone to hell since I was cursed. I live in a junkyard, my mentor Finn is a heroin addict, I’ve got the Cold Iron Circle breathing down my neck, and the local Fae Queen Maeve is blackmailing me into doing her dirty work.
Now I’m in way over my head trying to retrieve Maeve’s stolen magic rock, all while helping my friend Belladonna solve a series of murders that may or may not involve the local werewolves.
And did I mention that my girlfriend is a ghost?
If I can just get the Faery Queen’s tathlum back, and help Belladonna solve the murders…
Then I just might live long enough to finish my first year of college.
2) Graveyard Druid
Colin McCool here, otherwise known as the Junkyard Druid. Not my favorite title, but since it’s my only title I guess I’m stuck with it.
But hey, things are looking up. Sure, a powerful and sentient magical artifact may have taken up residence inside my skull, and I’m still burdened with a nasty curse cast by an ancient sorceress of the Tuatha Dé Danann…
…but I’m trying really hard to look on the bright side of things.
Seeing as how I’ve been dragged back into the world of the fae, I figure I may as well be of use. And if I can make a little scratch while using my druidic talents for good and not evil, so much the better.
Which is why I took this job working for Austin’s vampire coven, cleaning up a ghoul infestation at the city cemetery. It’s not their work and they don’t want the heat, so they hired me to take care of it before it gets out of hand.
Easiest. Job. Ever. I’ll just whack a few ghouls, hide the bodies, and collect my fee.
I mean, seriously—what could possibly go wrong?
3) Moonlight Druid
When a fae child goes missing, Colin is hired to bring him back. Now he has to crack the case, all while learning to control his shifter abilities under the watchful eye of the local werewolf alpha. But with half the pack against him and enemies at every turn, will his next misstep be his last?
MOONLIGHT DRUID A New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel From M.D. Massey Book 3 In The Colin McCool Paranormal Suspense Series
The name’s Colin McCool, but some call me the Junkyard Druid. I’m just your typical college student, living under a nasty fae curse that turns me into something unholy and deadly at the worst possible moments.
Like I said, typical.
Lately I’ve been taking odd jobs in the supernatural community, solving cases and hunting down things that go bump in the night. But this last job has really thrown me for a loop. A fae child went missing, and I’ve been hired to bring him back.
The good news is, the local alpha is teaching me how to control my ability to shift into that other, darker side of me. The bad news is, the deeper I get into this case the more twisted and sinister it becomes.
Let’s just hope I can learn to control my Hyde-side and rescue that child… before the darker side of me takes over for good.
4) Underground Druid
Colin McCool is hellbent on bringing vengeance to the doorstep of the Fae. But to do so, he’ll have to complete an impossible task in exchange for his passage to the mystical realm of Underhill. Will he outwit the Fae and survive this deadly undertaking? Or, will he be trapped in Underhill… forever?
I thought the job was done when we broke up the Fae’s child sex trafficking ring. We rescued the kids, killed the ringleaders, and everyone was supposed to live happily ever after.
But as it turns out, that only happens in fairy tales.
Because when you’re dealing with the Fae I know, there’s always another nightmare waiting in the wings.
Now I’m traveling into the belly of the beast—straight into Underhill, the mystical realm of the Fae. And to pay for my passage to and from the Faery lands, I’ll have to do something no one has ever done before.
I’m going to steal the source of magic that powers Underhill itself.
All I have to do is get to Underhill, steal a few uber-powerful magical relics from some Celtic gods, rescue the remaining children the Fae abducted, and get us all home in one piece.
Oh, and I also have to outsmart Maeve, Austin’s local faery queen… because I know she’s not helping me travel to Underhill out of the goodness of her heart.
Piece of cake, right? Yeah, right.
One thing’s for certain… if this mission is going to be my swan song, I intend to go down spell-slinging.

5) Druid Justice
After Colin cuts off their connection to Underhill, the high fae lose their position of magical supremacy. Sensing a shift in the balance of power, an unknown faction begins a brutal assault on the fae. Incensed by the injustice of their actions, Colin embarks on a one-man quest to find the persons responsible… so he can mete out some Druid Justice.
When I came back from Underhill, I was certain that my dealings with the fae were done. Sure, I knew they’d be after me—I mean, I had cut off their unlimited supply of magic, after all.
I just didn’t think I’d have to help them anymore.
But when fae started dropping like flies and the Red Cap Syndicate came begging for my help, I felt kind of obliged to lend a hand. Thing is, nobody would have attacked the fae in such a brazen manner before I betrayed their queen.
So, I guess it’s my fault all the fae are being assassinated. Oops.
Do I feel bad about the killings? Nah. The fae have been preying on humans for millennia, and I think it’s about time someone turned the tables on them.
That being said, it’s still wrong—so it is my duty to put a stop to it.
The only problem is, I’m not the same druid who went to Underhill and lived. My Hyde-side is getting out of control again, and if I get in a tight spot I can’t take the risk of letting him out to save my skin.
So, I’ll have to solve this case and deal with the killers the old-fashioned way… with magic and guile, all while handing out a little Druid Justice.
6) Druid Enforcer
When a rookie monster hunter disappears while investigating a series of suspicious murders, druid enforcer Colin McCool is called in to find his young friend and stop the killings. But when his new allies betray him, he’ll be forced use every skill at his disposal to evade capture and locate the young hunter… before time runs out for them both!
DRUID ENFORCER A New Adult Urban Fantasy Novel From M.D. Massey Book 6 In The Colin McCool Paranormal Suspense Series
After I became the druid justiciar for the central Texas area, I thought for sure I’d get a breather. All I wanted was a little time to lick my wounds after a long hard fight with a rogue wizard and his crew.
But like my Uncle Ed always said, wish in one hand and… well, you get the picture.
As it turns out, being the area’s supernatural sheriff isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, I get paid when I handle a problem for one of the factions—no complaints there. The problem is, it’s been nothing but putting out fires for the fae and the other major players since I got stuck with this gig.
Like it or not, I’m working a job that concerns both the fae and the vamps, chasing down a supernatural terror like none I’ve ever seen. And hell if a wannabe monster hunter didn’t get himself snatched by the very same creature that’s been dropping bodies all over Austin.
Now I have to find the kid, save the fae and the local vampire coven from exposure, salvage my relationship with my girlfriend, and figure out what to do with my live-in ex who may or may not have a magically-induced mental illness.
I wonder, do druid enforcers get paid vacation time? Because I’m definitely going to need a sabbatical after I figure out this whole mess.
That is if I don’t get eaten by a demon or a yokai before I solve the case… in which case, at least I’ll finally get some rest.
