It's probably cheating to say "The Werewolf: the Forsaken Novel I wrote that has yet to be published" or "the Demon Short Story that's coming out soon."
So I'm voting for Nigel Findley's Shadowrun novels. He wrote two with the private detective Dirk Montgomery. What was really awesome about Dirk was that he so un-min-maxed. He barely had any cyberware (I think just a smartgun link and a datajack). He wasn't a decker. He wasn't a mage or shaman. So many of the Shadowrun books were all about making as badass a character as possible and going "dang, that guy is cool." Dirk was just a guy who used his head in a world where so many other folks used more guns and more magic and so on. I liked his other books a lot too. It was a sad day when he passed away, far too early.
