The Jubal County Saga
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.

What Folks Are Saying!
"A self-proclaimed irredeemable meth-head antihero has to save, well, everything in his little part of the world in this rollicking series -- The Redemption of Howard Marsh. I'm LOVING it. More please!"
- Faith Hunter - NYT Bestselling Author
“This is a brilliant one. The narrative goes done smooth like icy sweet tea on a sweltering summer day. Worth a read!”
– Jilleen Dolbeare, The Shadow Winged Chronicles
“Enjoyed highly! As always, a brand-new Howard Marsh installment is a first day must read!”
– Rachel Brune, Crone Girls Press/Falstaff Dread
“Others have compared it to Dresden, and the pacing and internal dialogue are just as great as Butcher's, but Howard Marsh is even better - a complex man with secrets and a hell of an addiction.”
- Berta Platas, By Honor Bound series
“2022 has been an amazing year for discovering new writers, and Bob McGough is right up there, as one of those key discoveries. Original, fresh, poignantly beautiful, and groundingly real for urban (rural?) fantasy, this was one that hangs around after you've finished.”
– C. N. Rowan, imPerfect Cathar series
“Pick it up if you’re in the mood for rural fantasy set in backwoods Alabama. Grab it if you want to read about a redneck witch and a drug addict solving occult mysteries. If you’re looking for good urban fantasy with horror elements, yes, you guessed right. Go for it. It’s fun!”
– Fantasy Book Critic
“Somewhere Between Jim Butcher and Bill Faulkner.”
– Julia Sullivan, The Student Body (A Novel)
