1. A True Story from a Parallel Universe
So, it turns out the fantastical creatures that come from the creative imaginations of writers and live in our books, movies, and myths are absolutely real – on another planet in another universe. One night, in that universe, Romeo Taylor, a detective of The Poe Detective Agency, which happens to be the most successful detective agency in the world, survives an attempt on his life. That same night 37 apparently unrelated people are murdered in his city. He has to dig deep into his own past to discover what the relationship between himself and the 37 murdered is. While he’s digging, whoever tried to kill him shows that he believes in the motto ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again’ by trying again and again.
Obviously Romeo must stop him in order to go on breathing but he soon finds there is more at stake than just his life (though his life would, naturally, be enough to keep his attention). Romeo has the help of his zombie girlfriend, his undertaker best friend, and a famous three-headed dog, but his adversary has an army of the living and the dead so, you know, odds are not good…
2. The Detective And The Villain In Love
A detective and a villain are by definition on opposite sides of the law. What happens when they fall in love? Think Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Abelard and Heloise, Gatsby and Daisy, Westley and Buttercup. Odds for star-crossed lovers’ long-term success in both literature and history are not very good. Woven into the star-crossed lovers tale is a detective story. Romeo Moon, the detective half of the detective and villain, must track down and rescue The Fates, Greek goddesses, who have been kidnapped. One major problem is the kidnapper is the original bad boy, Satan. Other problems will have to do with magic, archdemons, snake-blood assassins, and Romeo’s biological father, a former god of the underworld, who has tried to kill him numerous times in the past—an obvious candidate for bad parent of the decade. Can the lovers stay together? Can Romeo stay alive long enough to save The Fates?
3. Romeo Moon
The time in this secondary world and universe is roughly at the start of World War I. Romeo gets assigned a case out West to find a missing boy. Julia decides to go with him after she escapes an assassination attempt on her life and learns that the other crime bosses in Five Cities are planning another attempt. When they get to the town of Hunter they find that a magician villain is in charge, and he doesn’t want the boy found and he does want Julia to be his partner in crime. This causes some friction between Romeo and Julia which soon becomes dramatic conflict as Romeo and the magician clash in a test of wills, magic, and violence. Both serious and comic, Romeo Moon, is a fun ride with lots of magic and mayhem.
