D. Alan Lewis

I wanted to treat my girlfriend to a trip to New Orleans for some much needed R&R. That was the plan. Stopping in Memphis for a night of partying, I awoke to find I had no memories of the night before, another woman had joined us in bed for the evening, and a demon sat in the hotel's bar, wanting to talk. 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.

Some men love to hear a woman scream in the middle of the night. But in my line of work, it always means trouble. Tonight is no different. Once I get the dame calmed down, she shows me what all the fuss is about: three stiffs in the dumpster behind Gatsby's, stacked one on top of the other. Now I know what you're thinking-bodies drained of blood, two marks on the side of each neck...all signs point to shenanigans of the vampiric variety. But I've been on this beat long enough to know there's always more to the story, even in a place like this. Hell, especially in a place like this. 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.

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.
