{{creatortropes}}
* [[Angels, Devils, and Squid]]
* [[Batman Cold Open]]: All three of the modern fantasy works have employed this.
* [[Battle Couple]]:
* [[Canon Welding]]: He's managed to tie in almost all of his own personal property without even resorting to parallel dimensions (though those do exist in his works).
* [[Catch Phrase]]: In all three of his urban fantasy series, he uses variations on "Needs must, when the devil drives" and "Suddenly and messily." And when I say variations on the first one, he's gotten [[Unusual Euphemism|pretty damn creative.]] Also, he ''loves'' to have his characters to use their over-the-top reputations to intimidate their foes.
* [[Designated Protagonist Syndrome]]: Not because they're uninteresting, just the supporting cast is more so. He frequently populates his worlds with colorful and over the top characters, taking a moment to give their backstories in an impressive way and then display them doing something awesome. His main characters tend to be powerful, but a little more grounded. As a side effect, often they're overshadowed by the lovable weirdos around them.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Frequent and unashamed.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: done in '''all''' of his works
* [[The World Is Always Doomed]]
