No longer the idiot braving the dangerous post-nuclear highways of 2073, he thought he\u2019d finally grow old and happy selling bullets, beds, and booze to those still foolish enough to get behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Then, he\u2019d met her.<\/p>\n<p>The white-haired outcast from the xenophobic Enclave crashed into his life, becoming the conscience he never wanted and everything he desired. She couldn\u2019t save the world from the Virus, but she could save Kevin\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<p>A biker gang calling themselves the Redeemed starts shooting up Roadhouses in flagrant disregard of the Code, shattering the serenity of his humble waystation. When the long-vaunted retribution of Amarillo\u2019s army fails to materialize, Kevin feels more like a sitting duck than he ever did on the road\u2015but it\u2019s not his \u2018house he fears losing.<\/p>\n<p>Determined to protect her, he takes it upon himself to enforce the unwritten law of the Roadhouse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/books\/the-roadhouse-chronicles\/the-redeemed\/the-redeemed-chapter-one\/\">Read Chapter One<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B078HPWZL2\/\">Find it on Amazon<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/books\/the-roadhouse-chronicles\/\">Roadhouse Chronicles Series<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<strong>The Shadow Collector<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn thought nothing would ever surprise her again after learning her father is an extraplanar being\u2015until the police ask her for help.<\/p>\n<p>For most of her life, the cops have been a thorn in her side, always in the way of a good time. By seventeen, she\u2019d spent more time in police cars than some rookies. With age comes (a little) restraint, and she\u2019s managed to avoid getting in trouble for six whole years. Working for the Philadelphia Fire Department offers a sense of belonging and purpose she never had growing up, even if the whole \u2018adulting\u2019 thing sucks.<\/p>\n<p>After responding to a fire call eerily similar to the one that claimed her childhood home, a local detective seeks her out. He\u2019s hunting a serial killer who preys on the city\u2019s homeless, taking the lives of those no one cares to see. Every victim\u2019s body has so far been stolen from the morgue, frustrating the investigation to the point he\u2019s willing to rely on a psychic\u2015even a former delinquent.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn senses a connection between the recent fire, the murders, and a mysteriously guilty little girl, but her respect for the law only goes so far.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/temporal-armistice\/the-shadow-collector-temporal-armistice-2\/the-shadow-collector-chapter-one\/\">Read Chapter One<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B078HPMN9S\/\">Find it on Amazon<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/temporal-armistice\/\">Temporal Armistice Series<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks a first for me.
