Murder In Skin City is a noir murder mystery set in the near future. The interesting thing is, the protagonist is a robot. In fact, most of the main characters are robots.

Deucalion Chronicles is a meta-series containing many stories all set within the same universe. So what’s that universe look like? To put it in TvTropes terms, it would be Fantasy Kitchen Sink Space Opera, full of Magitek. Or, to put it another way, it’s what happens when high fantasy gets out of the dark ages, shoots past urban fantasy, and . . .

A robot and an assassin team up to fight crime in the western suburbs of Minneapolis—for money, natch. And except for the evil uber-corporations and their leprechaun representative, an immortal witch and her dragon henchman, zombies, mysterious artifacts, competitive ninjas and a restaurant owner with proof that this all happens in an alternate world, things are pretty okay. . . .
Let me start off the bat by saying that I have a thing for superhero fiction. I watch Heroes, I read comics (or I used to, until I realized there was absolutely no way I could keep up with characters who never actually died), and I think superhero movies were the best thing to happen to cinema since Citizen Kane.
