With a princess killer to catch, a host of fairy-tale characters to wrangle and a crumbling career to resurrect, fallen hotshot Agent Fields has his hands full. And that's before the case leads to a story-obsessed, dimension-hopping scientist, hellbent on world domination. **** Dumped, demoted and assigned to the mysterious Section F, Fields' number one priority is reversing his sudden career-slide. Even more so after meeting his new partner, the borderline dangerous Agent Peregrine. A specialist in the Agency's most unconventional cases, she suspects the victims in a recent spate of murders are fairy-tale princesses from other worlds. And her prime suspect is story-lover and quantum-science genius Dr Frank Featherstone. Suspecting his partner is crazy, Fields' scepticism begins to wilt when the case leads to a comatose prince, a wisecracking witch and a very much alive princess, with a mean kick to the codpiece up her sleeve. What begins as a murder investigation spirals into a jaw-dropping, dimension-spanning race against time, as the two agents and their new offsiders battle monsters, dodge dragons and receive a first-hand hardcore lesson in fairy-tale lore, while trying to bag the bad guy - and just maybe save the world. *Formerly a Paid Story/Wattpad Original (so you know it must be good, huh?) but now free!*

A mysterious death in Arkham leads to the discovery of a new foe. July 1976. Arkham Files story #13. Sequel to Zoog Whisperer. In Arkham Files, White Collar characters are fused into the world of the Cthulhu Mythos. No prior knowledge of either White Collar or Lovecraft is required. Although Lovecraft is a master of the horror genre, in Arkham Files the emphasis is on science fiction and fantasy with a generous sprinkling of romance. First names are the same as in White Collar. Neal Caffrey is known as Neal Carter. Peter Burke is Peter Gilman. In addition to Neal and Peter, White Collar characters include Diana, Mozzie, Elizabeth, June, Sara, Jones, and Hughes. Neal and Sara are both a few years younger than their New York counterparts. The series is a meta work with the stories referenced in the Caffrey Conversation series. It's not necessary to read the Caffrey Conversation stories beforehand, but for readers who do, there is an added dimension. More information about the meta aspect is on my blog, Penna Nomen & Silbrith Conversation. Disclaimer: This story is for fun. I do not own White Collar or the world of the Cthulhu Mythos.

When a young ecology student sees flashes of wild animals, she suspects she's either hallucinating or is the victim of an overactive imagination. But what if something much stranger is affecting her? New England. September 1972. First novel in the Sedlow Chronicles series. Gwynn Tully is a 23-year-old graduate student in ecology. She's a loner and socially awkward. Her dating history has been a series of disasters. Gwynn has rationalized the strange events occurring around her to her satisfaction. It's not her fault she's wide of the mark. She hopes her move to Sedlow will be a fresh start, and that's what it turns out to be, but in a way she never would have imagined. The stories are set in Sedlow, Connecticut. The fictional city was founded in 1645 as a seaport. In modern times, it is primarily known as the home of Ogden University. Established in 1660, the university is the second oldest in the country. Much of the original federal-style architecture can be seen on campus and in the historic district which adjoins the university. The series begins in the year 1972. Crosscurrents include the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Space Race, and the Cultural Revolution.
