The Magistrate
2013
THE PRISONWORLD TRILOGY—VOLUME ONE Poverty is rife in twenty-fourth century London, England. Crime rates are at an all-time high, and living conditions for many are bleak. Capital punishment and public hangings have been reinstated, and Magistrates, in their new role, are tasked with patrolling the streets to enforce arrest warrants and ‘terminate’ any civilians who attempt to evade justice—which isn’t always a noble pursuit. The laws are strict, illiberal, and unsympathetic. If you can’t afford to feed and clothe yourself, you’ll be sent to the workhouse. If you fall behind on your rent, you’ll be sent to debtors’ prison. If you’re gay, you’ll be hanged. For Carmen Wild, the latter becomes a potentially deadly problem when the discovery of a murdered prostitute brings her back into the life of her first love—the Madam of an East End cathouse—and the illicit passions between them are swiftly reignited.

The Procuress
2014
THE PRISONWORLD TRILOGY—VOLUME TWO Madam Emmeline MacKinsey isn’t an old tart. Sure, she runs the most lucrative cathouse in the East End, but she’s never spread her legs for money. In fact, the life she led before embarking upon her relatively new vocation as a procuress is a topic that remains largely out of bounds—much to the consternation of her young lover, Carmen. Indeed, the more Carmen wants to know, the more evasive Emmeline becomes, and it’s not until the unheralded arrival of a past acquaintance threatens to rupture the thin divide between her old life and the one she’s taken such great care to build for herself that the secretive bawd is finally forced to confront the ramifications of her duplicity. Even if that means losing Carmen. Even if it means facing the rope. \
