Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter
By John G. HartnessDracula calls him nephew.
His guardian angel calls him Q.Demons call him The Reaper. Straight out of the pages of the legendary vampire novel Dracula comes a demon hunter for the modern world. "There are things in this world that men and women aren't meant to understand. We aren't supposed to know these things exist, much less how to fight them. The things that go bump in the night, the monsters in the closet, the shadow out of the corner of your eye -- that's where I live." Quincy Harker is the immortal magic-wielding son of Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray from the classic novel Dracula. Today he lives in Charlotte, NC, hunting demons and making the world a safer place while making wisecracks and tossing back shots.Quincy Harker Year One

Carl Perkins' Cadillac
Where do you go when you've saved the world but given up everything and everyone you love in the process?
The home of the blues, of course! Quincy Harker has retreated to Memphis to lick his wounds and get started on building a new life for himself. He's determined to be a normal guy (almost) living a (mostly) normal life working as a bouncer in a (not even a little bit) normal bar. But it all goes sideways when someone asks for his help with a little demon problem. Harker knows there's no such thing as a little demon problem. He's right, of course, because his demon problem includes hellhounds, dragons, djinn, angels, artifacts, secret government agencies, and a high school prom. This could absolutely be Quincy Harker's most dangerous outing yet, and that's before we even mention the explosions!Inflection Point
His uncle has been kidnapped.
A shadowy government agency is torturing cryptids in his city. His Sanctuary has been revoked from the one place he could drink safely. There's a medusa at the mall. A fairy princess might have just summoned an Old One in a public park. Quincy Harker really wishes he'd just stayed in Memphis. But he didn't. He came home, to find out that a secret government agency has gone rogue and kidnapped Luke, along with literally dozens of other cryptids, faeries, lycanthropes, and monsters. Now Harker and his crew have to rescue Luke and take down a massive government conspiracy while keeping escaped monsters from destroying Charlotte! There are times in a person's life when they know that nothing will ever be the same. This is one of those times. This is Quincy Harker's Inflection Point.
Conspiracy Theory
There are rogue government agents hunting supernatural creatures all over Charlotte. There's a bloodbath in the parking lot of a demon bar and a massacre at a shopping mall. There are protests and tear gas and riot cops and somehow Quincy F'n Harker is the one stuck in the middle of cops, monsters, and DEMON agents trying to keep them from tearing his city apart.
And now there seems to be a traitor in their midst. Couple that with the revelation that Harker's guardian angel might have an ulterior motive, and you've got a web of deception and intrigue that can only be CONSPIRACY THEORY.Histories, Book 1
Collects two short stories and one short novella giving a peek behind the curtain at the man, the myth, the legend that is Quincy Harker, as well as the origin story of one of his most popular cohorts, Jo Henry.
Hammer Time - Jo Henry takes up her father's mantle reluctantly, but in a moment of most dire necessity. A moment of necessity and claws. LOTS of claws. Jazz City Blues - Harker wakes up like so many of us have - facedown in a New Orleans gutter with a hangover the size of Lake Ponchartrain. Then zombies happen. Anna's Song - the story of Harker's first love, and the tragedy that took him from her. Anna's Song is a love story, a cautionary tale, and a story about killing lots of Nazis.Redemption Song
A man steps into a bar. Cards stop flying across the felt. Drinks stop sliding down the bar. The piano player freezes mid-note. Trouble has arrived, and it wears its gun for all the world to see.
This atmospheric tale of love and justice has more in common with High Plains Drifter than with most Quincy Harker stories, but lives in the same world. Magic, whiskey, cards, cash, and bullets blend together in a creepy tale of revenge and redemption.
