The name of the book is Dark and Stormy Knights, and it has a series of stories about anti-heroes.  People like Marcone.  At least one is a side character from another series (I forget which, but a friend borrowed the book because of  that one).  The authors in it are:
Ilona Andrews
Jim Butcher
Shannon K. Butcher
Rachel Caine
P.N. Elrod
Deidre Knight
Vicki Petterson
Lilith Saintcrow
Carrie Vaughn

On the refinements, doesn't the character have to "column" the skills in thaumaturgy, making a +4 crafting frequency impossible?
You'd be better off stating that the character used that refinement for focus items, and has a magic bullet loader that grants him +4 frequency.   

We have a character VERY similar to this in my game, only he skipped the "magic gun" type stunts in favor of just running as a very specialized thaumaturge (in crafting).  I think he's at +1 frequency, +1 strength in specialization, with a focus item granting +4 strength (2 refinement), and has 9 potions at x2 a day... which he keeps loaded in a variety of old-school double barrel guns.  Technically, he doesn't need the guns, but he likes em.

He did take the refinement as a focus: ("+4 crafting frequency focus")

Oops, my bad, I'm used to it listed as Focus Item (+4 crafting frequency) or w/e.  So I missed the word focus, there.   Um... consider it an example for others! Yeah!
