The Fontayne Company

The Fontayne Company is the story of an elven ghost 600+ years dead, a necromancer who requires his “expertise,” a dragon inventor, and their unique crew of paranormal investigators.

The Fontayne Company is a cozy, somewhat romantic fantasy set in a world with modern-style technology and inhabited by a wide array of people. There’s a bit of magic, a lot of snarky commentary from the ghostly protagonist, and some wild inventions, courtesy of the world’s “dragon tech.”

The first book in The Fontayne Company is written and is titled Rites of Departure. I’m targeting a 2027 release date for this book.

Book two is also complete, and is titled Agent of Chaos.
