Welcome to the Marlaverse
April 11th, 2010This series follows the adventures of Marla Mason, an ass-kicking sorcerer who doesn’t wear a leather catsuit, doesn’t suffer from low self-esteem, doesn’t wallow in angst, and is almost always absolutely certain she’s right… even when she’s dead wrong.
It’s got monsters. It’s got sarcasm. It’s got death, destruction, sex parties, ancient gods, wisecracks, artifacts, oracles, dark alleys, and magical daggers. Come and see.
Order the novels on the left, or read some of her adventures for free.
Grim Tides, my sixth full-length Marla novel, will be serialized starting in January 2012. (I did a Kickstarter fundraiser. It was awesome. But you can still donate if you want, with the button in the sidebar.)
Broken Mirrors, a reader-funded serial novel, fifth in the series.
Bone Shop, a prequel short novel about Marla’s origins.
There are various short stories available for 99 cents in e-book formats too, with story notes included with each one. (If you live overseas where these are more expensive, or just don’t want to use Amazon or B&N, you can send me $1 via PayPal to timpratt@gmail.com and let me know what story you want, and whether you want .epub or .mobi format, and I’ll send you the file.)
“Pale Dog,” the first Marla story I ever published, pitting Marla and Rondeau (and their little dog, too) against an immortal sorcerer.

“Haruspex,” the first Marla story I ever wrote. It’s rather more brutal and humorless than later stories, and not quiet canon, but I’m still fond of it.

“Grander than the Sea,” in which Marla confronts a horrible eldritch god that, technically, probably doesn’t exist.

“Shark’s Teeth,” the latest Marla story (chronologically speaking), which takes place after the events of Broken Mirrors. Marla meets a shark god in Hawai’i and agrees to help him get back his stolen teeth.

“Life in Stone” isn’t technically a Marla story, but has the first appearance of Mr. Zealand, the slow assassin from Poison Sleep.
