A collection of stories about V.I. Warshawski.

26 stories by women writers of crime. Some were excellent, some were not.

Originally published under author's pseudonym, David Wong. Zoey Ashe #1. A bit in the future, Zoey lives in a trailer park and works at a small coffee shop. A LOT of violence happens, but works out OK except for all the folks who die/are injured.

Synopsis from Good Reads: Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC. -- Yeah, outside of Los Angeles...like 86 miles in Victorville!!

John Dies at the End, #1. Originally published as authored by David Wong, which is the pseudonym of Jason Pargin.
I am not reading anymore books in this series!!!

Zoey Ashe, #3. There's an election going on. Who is Zoey and her crew supporting? Plus, there are three women missing from a brothel. One that Zoey owns, of course.

Zoey Ashe, #2. Very funny, and violent. I think I could do with less of the cannibalism, but it IS funny. Sometimes.

Julia is not too enthused about her and Patrick's new project, breeding silkworms. It's too Korean.
