Dragon Award-Nominated Author -- Winner of Best Book of 2015 A Drop of Ink Reviews "I believe R.R. Virdi belongs with other Urban Fantasy greats like Jim Butcher. The Grave Report is sure to go far and only pick up more fans with each successful novel. I can't wait to see where R.R. Virdi will take us next." -- A Drop Of Ink Reviews "Grave Beginnings doesn't read like a debut novel; it's much better than most first offerings. I loved the unique twist Virdi gives to his protagonist. Vincent Graves is immediately likable, even while he's a mystery to even himself. He gives nothing away, but the clues are all there. Looking forward to more great stories by this writer." -- Ben S Reeder Author of The Demon's Apprentice novels and the Zompoc Survivor books. "Fast paced, humorous, with action and drama on every page and paragraph, this paranormal thriller is reminiscent of one of my all-time favorite authors. This is like Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files but with a flavor all its own. RR Virdi is fame-bound with this series. If you like Jim Butcher, you'll enjoy this one. Highly Recommend." -- CD Coffelt Author of The Wilder Mage Thirteen... As far as numbers go, it isn't a great one.

2016 Finalist - DragonCon Dragon Awards -- Best Fantasy (Paranormal)   "This amazing sequel to Grave Beginnings shows us that R.R. Virdi is the real thing. Taking his craft another step further, he manages to evoke deep feelings for all of the characters involved. R.R. Virdi is a masterful storyteller, and deserves all 5 stars." ~ A Drop of Ink Reviews  Sequel to Grave Beginnings, A Drop of Ink Reviews' Best Book of 2015 Winner.                     What do shadows darting across the walls, cryptic writing, black fog, and a little girl who can see ghosts have in common? Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, has forty-four hours to find out.  To make matters worse, his years of body-hopping and monster-hunting are catching up with him. He's losing his mind. An old contact has shut him out. To top it all off, something's skulking through an asylum, killing patients.  Three guesses who might be next, and the first two don't count. The writing on the wall is not so clear. But one thing is: if he doesn't figure this out he's a dead man--well, deader--and a strange young girl might follow. Vincent's got his back against a wall, and that wall's crumbling.  Some days it's not worth it to wake up in someone else's body.

Grave Measures (Grave Report)

Mystery

From the Dragon Award-nominated author, R.R. Virdi. Jonathan Hawthorne has lived over a century beholden to one rule: do not meddle in mortal affairs. He's broken it twice. So when he crosses paths with Cassidy Winters, he's forced to interfere again. Strike three. And the third time's not the charm. Hawthorne is swept along as Cassidy slips through the cracks in reality. And being hunted by bands of monsters doesn't help. To find the answers they need, they'll have to play in a dangerous world. One where the odds and rules are stacked against them. They will have to navigate magical courts, queens and lords all while trying to keep Cassidy out of their scheming hands. If they fail, she will end up a pawn in a plot that will consume them all. Hawthorne will have to face the consequences of his past, and risk his future to ensure Cassidy can have one of her own. For a man with all the time in the world--it seems to be running out--fast!

"His stuff is badass!" – New York Times bestselling author, Hugo-nominee, and two-time Dragon Award-winner, Larry Correia. 
Don't make deals with the paranormal. They're better at it than you, and they never play fair.
 Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, did just that—a deal made in desperation. Now it's coming back to bite him in the middle of a case.
 He has 57 hours to investigate a string of deaths involving people who've made some devilish bargains. Too bad devils don't deal in good faith. It'd be easy enough, if he didn't have to deal with things such as: <ul>
<li>Being hunted through the streets of Queens by a dark elf with a motorcycle fetish.</li> <li>Ending up the target of a supernatural hit.</li> <li>An old acquaintance dragging him to a paranormal ball where he could end up on the menu.</li> <li>And having one of his closest guarded secrets brought to light...</li> </ul>
 Not great for a tight clock, because if he doesn't get to the bottom of this case in time, Vincent and company might just lose their souls. Dirty deals are never done dirt cheap. And the supernatural always collect—big!

"Read R.R. Virdi!"&#8213;Jim Butcher, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Dresden Files Myths begin, and a storyteller's tale deepens, in the essential sequel to R.R. Virdi's breakout Silk Road-inspired epic fantasy debut, The First Binding. Some stories are hidden for a reason. All tales have a price. And every debt must be paid. I killed three men as a child and earned the name Bloodletter. Then I set fire to the fabled Ashram. I've been a bird and robbed a merchant king of a ransom of gold. And I have crossed desert sands and cutthroat alleys to repay my debt. I've stood before the eyes of god, faced his judgement, and cast aside the thousand arrows that came with it. And I have passed through the Doors of Midnight and lived to tell the tale. I have traded one hundred and one stories with a creature as old as time, and survived with only my cleverness, a candle, and a broken promise. And most recently of all, I have killed a prince, though the stories say I have killed more than one. My name is Ari. These are my legends. And these are my lies.
