Dime Store Novel

The Dime Store Novel series is inspired by the dime novels of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The books feature reoccurring characters who have adventures, face dangers, and sometimes even fall in love.

The books are set in a world in which the realm where humans dwell is separated from quite different realms by a fragile weave. Goblins and fairies step through the weave easily. Other entities sometimes slip through as well, despite the frantic efforts of the spiders to maintain the weave.

The Dime Store Novel series has three story arcs: Hell’s Kitchen, New York in the 1890s, New Orleans, Louisisana in the 1890s, and New Orleans in the 1920s.
