COLIBRI INVESTIGATIONS
A crew of highly competent screwups travel around the galaxy solving crimes, and occasionally their own problems, in a Union of sentient species who think of humans as the awkward, new kids on the interstellar playground.
Colibri Investigations is a series of novellas that can be read as standalones, so you can start where ever you want.
THE STELLAR SNOW JOB (COLIBRI INVESTIGATIONS #1)
For Alannah Jackson, space is not the final frontier. As a professional travel writer, she strives to create the best and most conscientious travelogues to every visitable planet in the galaxy. But she might have bitten off more than she can chew when she agrees to survey a previously unexplored world.
Private investigator Richard Hart is an expert in interstellar human affairs. Weary of idling in space station bars, Richard and his snarky pilot, Eddie Macías, jump at the opportunity to take on an unusual and highly classified mission. (Anything beats retrieving lost pets or sorting out cheating spouses!) The new job whisks them, and their tiny but trusty spaceship, the Colibri, away to a distant solar system.
Unfortunately, it’s in a corner of the galaxy overseen by a menacing power that’s not particularly fond of human involvement.
Will Alannah compose the ultimate, authoritative guide to an undiscovered land? Will Richard and Eddie make it home alive and, ideally, paid?
There’s no planet too distant, no job too strange, for Colibri Investigations!
ASSASSINS & OLYMPIANS (COLIBRI INVESTIGATIONS #2)
When interstellar private investigator Richard Hart and his pilot, Eddie Macías, are combing a zetoi city for a fugitive insurance fraudster, the open-and-shut case takes an un-expected and deadly turn.
They return to their spaceship, the Colibri, with a dangerous military secret that threatens to have dire consequences for everyone involved. Conflicts begin to brew, despite travel guide writer turned live-in consultant Alannah Jackson’s eager attempts to keep tempers in check.
As Richard and crew reconnect with a familiar Terran Defense Force intelligence officer, they discover a political game that requires their discretion, and may even throw humanity’s peaceful unity into question.
Join Colibri Investigations for a new adventure full of snarky banter, undercover agents, vendettas, coffee approximations of varying quality, and action straight out of a wendek crime show.

THE WENAMAK WEB (COLIBRI INVESTIGATIONS #3)
A mysterious invitation from an old friend brings private investigator Richard, spaceship pilot Eddie, and travel guide writer Alannah to a gorgeous, bustling metropolis on a planet where the dominant species can literally smell fear and lies.
Wenamak appears to be the picture perfect place, down to the finest detail, but dangers lurk beneath its pristine surface.
When a flippant wendek undercover agent seeks assistance on a delicate job, the Colibri Investigations crew soon find themselves tangled up in a shady game involving a web of illegal trade and exploitation.
Luckily, Richard’s military training, Alannah’s intimate knowledge of the local cultures, and Eddie’s tough attitude give the team the perfect edge to meet their client’s needs... at least until they run into someone familiar whom none of them expected to see again.
