Free Short Story!!

I’ve been hard at work getting ready to launch a new dieselpunk series, The Crossover Case Files. To help introduce you to that world, I’m releasing a FREE stand-alone short story set in the Crossover Case Files universe.

Jed Strait doesn’t normally babysit, but when the Private Investigator is offered the job of making sure a socialite stays out of trouble, he takes the gig–partly for the money, partly because it will help build his reputation as a stand-up guy. Of course, if he blows it, his reputation and his fledgling business will be in the gutter.

To ensure his success, Jed relies on some high tech help, but technology has a way of going wrong. And when it does, he has to scramble to keep himself and the heiress out of all the trouble she’s looking forward to getting into.

“The Cinderella Blues” is a stand-alone short story set in the universe of The Crossover Case Files, a new dieselpunk series set in an alternate 1949 where World War II ended in a stalemate and Jed Strait is doing his best to survive in a world that reminds him at every turn that he’s a fish out of water.
