Synopsis
A supernatural thriller with bite.
Jeff isn’t your average monster hunter. He’s overweight, cranky, and permanently hungry—not because he likes food, but because his magic demands it. Every ounce of fat fuels the spells that keep the nightmares at bay. Vampires, boggarts, demons—they’re real, and Jeff is the only thing standing between them and the unsuspecting world.
When the magic drags him to a quiet desert town pulsing with supernatural energy, Jeff expects trouble. What he finds is far worse: a cunning vampire named Napoleon with a twisted offer—abandon his curse, gain immortality, and finally be free. But at what cost?
As midnight approaches in Death Valley, Jeff must choose between power and purpose, self-liberation and self-sacrifice. One wrong move, and the town—and Jeff’s soul—might not survive the night.
Darkly funny, fast-paced, and unexpectedly heartfelt, Fat Magic is an urban fantasy tale of unlikely heroism, brutal magic, and the weight of what we carry—both inside and out.

Author’s Note
I originally wrote Fat Magic for a short story contest at Baen Books. It’s only about 8000+ words, so a fairly quick read. Unfortunately, it did not place in the top three, but I have always liked this story and would appreciate hearing your thoughts.
