Music City has a dark side, one teeming with werewolves, demons, ghosts. Nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing one of these monsters dead at my feet. But sometimes this job takes something out of me-something I can never get back.This case is one of those times... Thomas Dietrich and his girl Natalie are back on the job to take on the undead and otherworldly in 1950s Nashville for Book 2 of D. Alan Lewis's genre-bending series, Voodoo Rumors.
With ultimate power, who is corrupted more? The Good or the Evil? At the start of the 20th century in the city of Port Victoria, three college students were given a formula that imbued them with incredible powers; strength, agility, and speed. Donning masks and capes, they took to the streets to fight crime and battle evil. Their tactics were effective but harsh, stacking up a body count larger than the mobs. But as the decades went by, the heroes passed their abilities through their bloodline to each generation of their descendants. And each generation spawned a hero to protect the Port. Born into a city when the first generation of heroes fought, Eric Raven struggled in the mean streets of Port Victoria to survive. After witnessing the horrific murder of his mother, he found a home in an orphanage where the men of God taught him right from wrong. Another lesson he learned, however, is that sometimes what is considered right by some is evil in the eyes of others. Although lacking super powers, Eric transforms himself into The Bishop to bring his own form of justice and peace to the city. But as he grows physically and spiritually, he finds the lines between good and evil blurred. Are the heroes doing God's work or is he? And in the end, will he be the city's spiritual leader or the world's most diabolical villain? The Bishop of Port Victoria by D. Alan Lewis chronicles the life of Eric Raven from orphaned street rat to a bastion of power in his nineties in a collection of intertwining stories. Set in the city Lewis debuted in Pro Se Productions' ground breaking Black Pulp anthology, these two fisted tales not only feature stunning characters and edge of your seat action, but also explore truly what it means to be a hero and a villain...and how a man might just be both.

The Jazz Age is over and the Great Depression and Dust Bowl are ravaging across the United States. People need someone to blame. Luckily for a population who needs a scapegoat, the next wave of human evolution has begun, and it couldn't have chosen a worse time to be born. Men and women with amazing powers now fly across the sky, turn their skin into gold, and block bullets with their bare hands. Some take to crime. Some hide their powers for their own safety. Some seek the Underground Railroad for safe haven and a new life in Mexico. Some try to fight the good fight and turn the tide of public opinion as heroes. All of them are in the wrong place at the wrong time in a wounded, terrified, and violent country. In this collection from Pro Se Productions, several of the top writers in New Pulp Fiction spin history 'round like a top to create an alternate reality both comfortably familiar and strangely new for readers of action, adventure, and crime stories. THE NEW DEAL: MASKS AND MUTATIONS. From Pro Se Productions
It was a typical February night in 1951 when she stepped into one of Nashville's many dives and into my life. The blonde asked for my story, wanting to know what had me drinking. She had no idea it was the same thing that had me working at nights, hunting down the monsters that stalk the back alleys of my city.Back in '31, the job was just supposed to be another bank heist - in, then out, then we'd be rich. But along with the money, we found that cursed ruby, and nothing was the same again. I'd thought about that gem every night for years, but now, in this bar with this dame looking at me all innocent and beautiful, I told her my tale. And that's when our story began. D. Alan Lewis mixes the hardboiled P.I. genre with the darkest elements of the paranormal to create the Voodoo Rumors stories. Set in 1950's Nashville, Thomas Dietrich is cynical yet idealistic; amorous yet full of despair. He's a man capable of harsh violence and unfettered compassion in a world where the darkest things walk the streets of his city at night.
I wanted to treat my girlfriend to a trip to New Orleans for some much needed R&R. That was the plan.

With a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other, the demon had good news and bad news. After some drunken shenanigans, Natalie had been tricked into selling her soul to the Devil, but he offered me a chance to win her soul back. All I'd have to do is find a coin, an enchanted penny that brings its owner a world of good luck.But with one flimsy lead, finding it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. And to add to my problems, I'm not the only one looking for it. Thomas Dietrich and his girl Natalie are back in 1950s Memphis for Book 3 of D. Alan Lewis's genre-bending series, Voodoo Rumors.
