The Shatterguard Saga

novel

If you're reading this, then somehow I saved the world. That, or you probably want me dead. Either way, you're not getting your shit back. I really should have appreciated the little things in life while I had them. I used to like long walks on the beach, Hallmark Christmas movies, and living an easy life as a New England mailman. Then the system came and reworked my priorities. Now, the beaches are crawling with inter-dimensional monsters, America has dissolved into nothing but lawless territories governed by magically enhanced humans known as "Breakers", and worst of all, there's no more cable. And what happened to me you ask? Why, I became a new kind of delivery boy of course, delving into the ruins of the old world in search of magical artifacts for the highest bidder. It was on one of these little excursions when, whether by chance or sheer misfortune, I became "Integrated", and suddenly, my career prospects started to open up. Now, I have a bounty on my head, a sentient smart-talking shotgun, and a yeti cub with boundary issues. Can I take these "gifts" and survive in a world gone to hell? I mean... obviously. How else do you think I wrote this?
