Welcome to The Crossover Case Files, a new dieselpunk series featuring Jed Strait, a fish-out-of-water private eye who’s trying to make his way in a version of 1948 that includes renegade Nazis, femmes fatale, and an old inventor with a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

The first book in the series is The Blacktop Blues, and it’s available in paperback right now and in e-book format at the pre-order price of just $1.99 until release day on February 2nd.

The Blacktop Blues

Jed Strait made it through the war unscathed. Or at least, that’s what he thought. But now that he’s home, he’s not so sure, because he’s plagued by horrifying flashbacks. Only, they’re visions of events that never occurred.

All he wants is to reconnect with the woman he left behind and get on with his life, but according to the visions, that’s the worst thing he could do. If he follows Annabelle to LA, his nightmares could actually become real, but staying in New York with no Annabelle and no explanations will surely drive him mad.

Damned if he goes and damned if he stays, the only path forward is the one leading west, to the final crescendo of either marriage, misery or madness waiting for him at the end of a road that’s paved with The Blacktop Blues.

The Cinderella Blues–Free Short Story!!

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.
