Iron & Blood
A Jake Desmet Adventure Book 1
by Gail Z. Martin & Larry N. Martin
Genre: Supernatural Steampunk Adventure
Hell
with the lid off.
Jake
Desmet and Rick Brand, heirs to the Brand & Desmet Import
Company, travel the world to secure treasures and unusual items for
the collections of wealthy and supernatural patrons, accompanied by
Jake’s cousin, Veronique “Nicki” LeClercq. Smuggling a small
package as a favor for a Polish witch should have been easy. But when
assassins come after Jake and a Ripper-style killer leaves the city
awash in blood, Jake, Rick, and Nicki realize that dark magic,
vampire power struggles, and industrial sabotage are just a prelude
to a bigger plot that threatens New Pittsburgh and the world.
New
Pittsburgh in 1898 is a crucible of invention and intrigue, the hub
of American industry at the height of its steam-driven power. Born
from the ashes of devastating fire, flood, and earthquake, New
Pittsburgh is ruled by the shadow government of The Oligarchy. In the
abandoned mine tunnels beneath the city, supernatural creatures hide
from the light, emerging to feed in the smoky city known as “hell
with the lid off” while their masters scheme to change the balance
of power.
Stopping that scheme will require every ounce of
Jake’s courage, every bit of Rick’s cunning, every scintilla of
Nicki’s bravura, and all the steam-powered innovation
imaginable.
Iron
& Blood is
a steampunk action adventure filled with daring escapades, armed
airships, vengeful vampires, mysterious magic, found family, mad
doctors, quirky inventors, clockwork zombies, and loyal friends.
Spark of Destiny
Jake Desmet Adventure Book 2
Sunken treasure, haunted shipwrecks, experimental technology, and steam-powered adventure!
When Brand & Desmet airlift occult valuables out of Havana during the 1898 naval conflict with Spain, they get far more than they expect. A shipwreck with experimental tech and magical relics sparks a race to retrieve the goods—and the winner might turn the tide of the war and the balance of power.
Jake Desmet, Rick Brand, Nicki LeClercq, quirky inventor Adam Farber, and agents from the Department of Supernatural Investigation race goons, ghouls, and ghosts to salvage the cargo, finding themselves in the crosshairs as attacks come from all sides.
Amid the struggle for control of the Caribbean, supernatural forces battle for the upper hand. European warlocks covet the spoils of war, while the island witch dynasties seek to break free of foreign empires.
Can Rick, Jake, and their friends retrieve the missing shipment, or will dark magic and betrayal sink their chances?
Spark of Destiny is a steampunk action/adventure filled with clockwork creatures, armed airships, vengeful ghosts, cursed relics, strange cryptids, nefarious schemes, found family, loyal friends, and plenty of explosions!

agents, forbidden love, danger, and magic!
Supernatural
Secret Service agents Owen Sharps and Calvin Springfield meet on the
train to their new assignment in St. Louis, and sparks fly between

It's their first case

darker purpose. Old ghosts haunt the railroad line, zombie rise,
signs point to ritual sacrifice, and they suspect someone is trying
to open the gates of hell.

mayhem, thwart the vampires, and find true love, or will everything
go up in smoke?

romance thrill ride filled with found family, paranormal Pinkertons,
intrepid reporters, mysterious disappearances, nefarious land
