I didn’t know how out of sorts I was until Natasha threw her arms around me. I couldn’t believe it. There she was, in the middle of her own misery, trying to look after me.
Sweet Natasha.
She held me tightly, resting her cheek against my forehead. I could smell the rose-scented soap on her skin. It was a strange thing. In our shared grief it was like we were the only two people left alive in the world.
“It’s o.k., Mick Trubble. It’s going to be all right.” She smiled through the glisten of tears in her eyes.
“I’ll take care of you.”

Enjoy the Troubleshooter?
Thanks for checking out this installment of the Troubleshooter series. I truly hope you enjoyed your time in New Haven. I’d love to keep writing these novels, but I need just a little help from you. Reviews help a great deal in spreading the word, which in turn helps sell more books. Which in turn allows me to keep writing. It doesn’t have to a long process: a simple 3-4 sentence review works wonders. Thanks again for reading, hope you stick around for the next installment.
All the best,
~BC

Blade Runner meets Bogart in this blend of science fiction and film noir grit that introduces Mick Trubble: the hard-drinking, chain-smoking, wry-witted private eye of the future.
When you’re short on memory and cash, taking a questionable case is a no-brainer.
But when Mick uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the entire populace, he'll have to tackle the case with more than just his dry wit and seven-shot revolver. It will take unlikely allies and quick thinking to step one step ahead of catching a case of the New Haven Blues.

More by the Bard
When a freak storm engulfs a milling facility, the workers learn quickly that there is much more to fear than just heavy rain.
Something else arrives with the storm—macabre creatures that alter their shapes and features with every attack. In order to survive the night, the employees will have to rely on a man whose sanity is questionable. For he claims to have faced the same attacks before, over ages of time.
He calls it an Aberration. A doorway that opens to a realm of nameless evils. What lies beyond wants to smother our world in darkness and perverse terror. It grows stronger with every passing moment, and all that stands between it and our world are the workers trapped in the building.
