Lawson's World: Called "James Bond with fangs," THE FIXER tells the story of Lawson, a cynical, jaded part cop/spy/commando divinely chosen from birth to help protect the Balance - the line separating humanity and the race of living vampires that has evolved in secret alongside humans over thousands of years. Called upon to protect his race by rooting out rogues, criminals, terrorists, and ne'er-do-wells, Lawson dispenses justice with extreme prejudice, sarcasm by the bowlful, and bullets by the pound.
"Lawson is more like Jason Bourne than Dracula, making this a vampire mystery with broad appeal."

"...a fine stalking session in vampire-noir land...a series and talented writer I'll be sticking with all the way." – Mort Castle, author of The Strangers and On Writing Horror
