Elliott Kay’s standalone novels and collections cover a wide range of genres and settings. Days of High Adventure is an urban fantasy novella about two college friends who get pulled into a real version of their tabletop RPG fantasy world. It shares a universe with the Good Intentions series but tells its own self-contained story. Life in Shadows collects short stories from the Good Intentions world, filling in gaps between the main novels. Grand Theft Sorcery, published in 2024, is another spinoff set in that universe, following a repo man in Los Angeles who accidentally gains supernatural power after the local vampire lord dies and every monster in the city starts fighting over the power vacuum.
On the science fiction side, Hot Restart follows a character on a salvage mission that goes sideways, leading to a chase through space with new allies and old enemies. Great Power and No Responsibilities is a lighter, comedic novel about a man who meets a psychic alien with vacation plans on Earth. Small Victories is a short story collection pulling from across Kay’s series, with seventeen stories set in the Good Intentions, Wandering Monsters, and Poor Man’s Fight worlds.
