My historical novels are a six-book series, "The Puzzle Box Chronicles." Set in the late 1800s, it focuses on an important time of transition in America, when electric lighting is spreading across the country like a wave.
Its locations range from private luxury train cars to seedy back alleys. Even the sparks created by that time period's "War of the Currents" can't fully illuminate the darkest parts of that history.
