Learning Curves

A quirky tale of semi-hot pursuit, magical and mundane mayhem, mystery, crime, and intrigue; with as prinkling of violence and a pinch of gratuitous sex. Add a dollop of very mistaken identities - not to mention identity crisis, and what more could you want? In Learning Curves, a young, female constable from an alternate plane of existence where not only does magic and alchemy work, but is used by its citizens on a day to day basis, shows up in the office of a crusty, old, ex-flat foot, robbery-homicide detective turned PI, chasing a bad guy from her world, and promptly takes him for a ride into the twilight zone. Says the author, a mystery and SF fan, "I've read many tales of someone from this plane being somehow transported to a magical world, and began to wonder what might happen if the magic was brought here, instead, to this mundane rock. Then, one morning, in that semi-lucid time just before dawn, when the lines between this plane and any others, including Elise's, become sort of blurred anyway, it all came together." Meet Jerry Marlowe and Elise Montague - the latest weapons in the ongoing battle against interdimensional crime.
