Publisher's summary
Howard Marsh is a lot of things: a liar, a thief, a poor man’s wizard. He’s the product of a miserable county with more dirt roads than paved; where poverty and loss is the order of the day. He’s a man haunted by his past, and has yet to find any reason to try and piece himself back together.
Where we find him is at the bottom, eking out a living as a water witch, a copper thief, a finder of lost things. Living in a storage shed and trying to maintain what's left of the frayed relationships of the few family members who will still talk to him. Untrained, he uses the drugs that ravage his body to fuel his magic.
Marsh will work to unravel two supernatural mysteries as only a redneck wizard can: poorly, and with much cursing. In Bringing Home the Rain he has to piece together just why it hasn’t rained in months within the bounds of a perfect circle just south of town. And in Dancing With Your Demons he’s on the trail of a missing woman whose now infamous son once burned down a church.
He is Howard Marsh, the Methgician.
He’s a travesty...but he’s the best hope Jubal County has.
(Warning: This book contains much cursing and foul language, as befits a tale told by a drug addled white trash wizard.)

At Shadows Casino, this isn’t just a phrase, it’s a grim reality. Far from prying eyes is a world of decadent pleasure, and unimaginable pain, where only the desperate or the rich dare to tread. Cee is the leader of the sinister establishment, but that hasn’t always been her story. Long before she'd ever heard of a parlay or letting it ride, Cee was just a little girl with a daddy who liked to gamble. And when her daddy brought her into Shadows, he made a bet that changed both of their lives forever.

The difference between a man and a robot is not that one has a soul. The difference is that man can choose to ignore it. The Uberbots have taken over. The few human survivors remain hidden. Returning from an excursion that began before the revolution, Thomas walks through his ominously silent city until he comes face to face with his creation: the Uberbots. Captured and imprisoned, Thomas is brought before the Uberbots and given a task only he, as the creator of the Uberbots, can achieve. While keen on escaping, Thomas quickly learns the Uberbots are not easily overcome.

Smooth Talking and Oblivion
Solo really brought to life this unique modern folk fantasy. I’ve read the books before but the audio is worth the listen tenfold. The world of Howard Marsh belongs in your ears.

Magic, humor, and grit
Bob McGough is a master at creating lovable scoundrels who are reluctantly shedding their bad habits and discovering their better selves. Meth-addicted wizard Howard Marsh is Exhibit A in this regard. You can't help rooting for him!

Trailer Trash with a heart
What a great blend of subcultures and themes. The depiction of rural southern life is very accurate, and I love that not all drug heads are bad people. Looking forward to the rest of the series getting the same treatment as well.

Terrific Story & Listen🎧A Wild & Intriguing Ride!
I enjoyed this book immensely, the story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire time. Ok, so Bob McGough tells us that “Howard Marsh is a lot of things: a liar, a thief, a poor man’s wizard”, and he is all that, and so much more, some good, some not so good, but you know what, I was for him and hoping for the best outcome in every situation he found himself in and some of the were real doozies. McGough’s descriptive details are amazing and he paints a vivid picture with his words to bring you alongside the character and giving you a bird’s-eye view of everything going in the world of Howard Marsh. Some may say Howard is a man down on his luck, but he gets by, lives his life in a drug induced oblivion, mostly by choice, getting by, sometimes with help, sometimes by the skin of his teeth, sometimes it is just luck. Despite all that, he is an interesting man, one with gifts and abilities that are sought after in times of need. I found the paranormal elements to be intriguing, and the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as is the character development. Bob McGough, thank you for this great story and wild ride.
🎧📚🎧 John Solo is a wonderfully talented voice artist, and he did an amazing job capturing the essence of the story and the characters. He has a knack of choosing the perfect voice for the characters, ones that fit their personality to a tee, and I love how he owns each role, sounding believable and just as I imagined the character to sound. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all the characters’ emotions and has you feeling them all. John Solo
