Krim World Detectives Series

  Grab your broadsword and belly up to the bar for a rollicking adventure in the virtual medieval world of Krim! When a big shot investor vanishes into the putrid pixelated alleys, tech-phobic detective Ellison Davo saddles up to track him down. But with danger, debauchery, and dodgy medieval reenactors around every corner, finding one lost king is no quest for a novice. Dodging volleys of arrows and voluminous petticoats, Ellison unravels a sordid tapestry of betrayal, blackmail, and overly tight codpieces in a race against the clock before a crucial business vote. Can Ellison hold his ale long enough to find the lost king? Or will a ruthless femme fatale pull the strings on Ellison's downfall? Overflowing with virtual insanity, The Lost King of Krim blends sci-fi, fantasy, and farce into a comedy of errors. If you like zany irreverent worlds, eccentric characters, and adventures gone awry, then you'll love this side-splitting tale. Praise for Krim Virtual World Novellas "If you enjoy Terry Pratchett, you will definitely love this." "Unique and entertaining storytelling." "Interesting and worth the time." Krim Times "If you enjoy Terry Pratchett, you will definitely love this. I'm super picky about what I read. For me the ideal story has to not only have a great plot, but also be well written and it needs to have that warm and cozy feeling. This one hits every spot!" —Grumps, Amazon "This mystery story takes place within the world of an online game, with the characters simultaneously their in-word personas and aware of the larger world, for an effect that's unique and entertaining." —Francesca Forest, GoodReads "Unique and entertaining storytelling. The only thing even vaguely like this that I've read is The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss--which also featured a mystery and an online world (and was a lot of fun)--but I have to say that Krim Times has a more original approach to telling the story." —Far-ranging Reader, Amazon "I'm looking forward to the next story, and hope to learn a lot more about the backstory to some of the key players, all of whom have the most unexpected quirks!" —L. Pierce, Amazon The Lost King of Krim "Nice futuristic look at the metaverse, and people's hopes of someway what technology might bring." —Da Admiral, HypergridBusiness.com "I thought it was a good read into what our virtual future might look like someday. Interesting and worth the time."  —Bill Marcus, Amazon
