from the short story "The TricksterCodex," published this month in Women of the Dark Streets, alesbian paranormal anthology from Bold Strokes Books.

The infrequently patronized offices of AmeliaArcher, Private Investigator–that is, me–sit on top of a squat brown brickbuilding in downtown Los Angeles. It’s a dump. The water is unreliable and thewiring downright dangerous. But between the war and the fact that nobody hiresthe city’s only female dick with that bastard Philip Marlowe hanging around,I’m lucky to have it. My office is on the eighth floor, and the elevator isalways broken. After a year and change, I had a caboose like a marble statueand I could run up the stairs in heels without breaking a sweat.
I like to look on the bright side.


That day, I’d barely had time to toss my hat on the rack, light up a smoke,and put my size nines up on my desk when she walked through the door. Now thedame hadn’t been waiting when I got there, and I sure as Shinola hadn’t heardanyone on the stairs behind me. But who was I to complain? My first walk-in inweeks, and she was five-and-a-half feet of gorgeous, with shoulders like ageneral, black hair and eyes, and skin like red desert clay. She held herselfstraight and proud, and though she was wearing a tailored jacket and skirt,when I looked at her, I saw her barefoot and in buckskin on some high desertplain, that black hair no longer restrained by pins and fedora, but whippingfree around her shoulders in the wind.
“What’s up, Tiger Lily?” I asked.
