Jimmy’s relationship with Diana has never been better, but then she gets control of the Southside Endowment. Jimmy starts to feel like just another possession, until a seeming ghost from the past gives him something to investigate. Possession may be nine-tenths of the law, but exactly what kind of possession are we talking about here? “Possession" is a soft-boiled detective novella with some sci-fi and fantasy elements, sort of a The Rockford Files meets The Avengers (the old BBC series, not the superheroes.) It’s eighth in the Detective Jimmy Delaney series.

Jimmy’s relationship with the police seems to have taken a turn for the worse, but it’s not just him. Some of his associates have had strange confrontations with law enforcement. Could someone be manipulating their AugMonitor feeds?

Diana’s work on the Southside Restoration has progressed to the point that only the vagrant situation is holding things back–and suddenly, they start disappearing from the streets. The unusually mild winter has resulted in an equally unusual number of homeless deaths. Jimmy’s curiosity discovers more oddities than coincidence could explain, and suspicions that Diana might be involved.

Things have never been better between Jimmy and Diana. The Southside Restoration is practically on autopilot, and Diana is able to devote her professional time to the Working Sisters Foundation. But someone wants to take it all away from her, including Jimmy. Add in a couple of murders, a mystery assassin, a weaponized aphrodisiac, and wedding festivities and proposals – Jimmy has a lot of figuring to do.

Champion of the Empire Hercules Tom thinks this is a mere diplomatic mission to Baast; little does he know what the Baastards have in store for him. But don't worry - this cat has proven time and again that he has more than the usual nine lives. Listen to find out how Herc finds his way out of this one.

Major Tom has plans for his leave time: this cat is finally going to get some much needed R&R with his mates. But recent additions to the household (including his Admiral father-in-law and an uppity mouse chef), as well as an unexpected visit from yet another enemy puts his whiskers in a twist. Ready for a comical adventure with some unlikely characters? Listen to “Cat and Mouse.” "Cat and Mouse" is a speculative fiction short story, and is the third of his "Major Tom, Champion of the Empire" tales.

The Southside Restoration has been keeping Diana busy, but Jimmy knows it’s the phantoms in their past that are driving them apart. Jimmy agrees to act in a theatre production in an effort to draw closer, but a too-coincidental series of accidents won’t let his suspicions rest. Some more immediate phantom from their past is threatening more than their relationship–will Jimmy discover the threat in time?

More intrigue as a familiar hallucinogen finds its way into Ramses society. Are their long-time adversaries behind it? Time for Major Tom to save the Empire again… Ready for more comic adventures with your favorite feline? Listen to “Nipped in the Butt.”

A deadly virus, a dying cub, a world in the balance, and all that's needed to save them is PURR MISSION. Major Tom’s dander is up. His cub is dying of the Morient Virus, and this cat knows that the Ramses Empire's sworn enemies are responsible (the deceitful feline bastards!), but bureaucats have ordered him not to go to their planet to recover the antidote. Well, it’s easier to beg forgiveness than to ask purrmission. Ready for heroism, adventure, space, spies, and lives in the balance? Give “Purr Mission” a listen.
