A visit to the court of Kublai Khan proves disastrous for Neal and his team. May-June 1976. Arkham Files story #12. Sequel to Penny Exchange.
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.
Neal determines that a Corot is actually a forgery by the Dutchman and goes undercover with Peter at a ski resort to investigate. Diana begins writing stories to influence Azathoth. Mozzie joins the search for extraterrestrials. January 2005. Follows An Evening with Genji in the Caffrey Conversation series.
My White Collar stories are set in the Caffrey Conversation universe created by Penna Nomen. In that world, Neal Caffrey--expert forger, thief, and con artist--is recruited by Special Agent Peter Burke to work for him at the FBI. Neal begins his new life in December 2003 when he is twenty-three years old. Unlike the TV series, Neal was never convicted of a crime and didn't serve time in prison. The first story in the series is Caffrey Conversation by Penna Nomen.
Penna Nomen is the creator and chief muse of the series. She is also my writing partner. The complete list of Caffrey Conversation stories is on our blog, Penna Nomen & Silbrith Conversation.
