This was my novel for NaNoWriMo; unfortunately the story was 9,900 words short of a novel. I guess you could say it's an extremely long short story. There is no sex in the story, because it is set in 1937 and everybody knows that people did not start having sex until the 1960's. It's a novel of Historical fiction. The main character is a private eye. I used 1930's slang for when the characters spoke. Also the events and music are of the period. Enjoy!

A little historical piece that’s shamelessly historically inaccurate (it would have even Robert E Howard shuddering in his grave coz I sat here with a pile of his books in front of me looking at the style he wrote in and just murdering it altho then again, Howard was pretty good at murdering history himself so maybe he’d just laugh. Wherever he is, I hope he enjoys this and RIP, dude. You were one of the best!). Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the story - it was a lot of fun to write. / (Reviews)
This story was written at the request of my editor, Denny Wheeler. Like me, Denny is a fan of the brilliant 'Brother Cadfael' novels of the late Ellis Peters. He asked me to write a story about Cadfael's adventures before he became a monk. This is the result.
It is primarily a mystery story with very little sex. If you like that sort of thing - read on!
If you're looking for lots of hot action and dirty words - don't bother!!!
