My first alternate history novel was Rogue Knight: Marked by Thor. Rogue Knight takes place early in the ninth century shortly after the death of Charlemagne.
The View from the Möbius Window is my new kindle novel available on Amazon.com. The novel is my second venture into alternate history:
In 1914, fifty years after a forgotten cabal of wizards stalemated the Civil War and overthrew the incompetent Confederacy to establish the Southern Alliance monarchy, twenty-two year-old Lieutenant Maximillian Bontemps saves the newly crowned, teenaged King John from a sniper in Asheville by knocking the boy onto his royal ass. Angry that Max dared touch Him, the King dismisses Max from His Royal Guard. Dejected, Max returns home to New Orleans to start a private Security Service.New Orleans is the last bastion of wizardry in the south, and there Max discovers he has a rare talent: he is immune to magic. For Max's first security job, a young woman hires him to protect her mother, a famous witch, from assassination. Claims about magic have never impressed Max, but he is broke, and the daughter has compelling blue eyes. Leave it to a beautiful woman to draw Max into a whirlwind of greed, corruption, and a plot to usurp the boy King.
"Eh bien. When you see yourself through de Möbius Window and wonder which side real and which side allegory, remember, de Möbius Window only got one side." --A Twisted Trope Tale
The View from the Möbius Window is an adventure story with magic and allegorical subterfuges that takes place in New Orleans between 1915 and 1930. I hoped to twist some familiar tropes in the process, but that probably depends on what the reader brings to the story.
