Black moon Journal


Black Moon Journal is home to the universe of the Bone Angel espionage thriller series — a noir fantasy/sci-fi world where a living road separates our Earth from the high-tech, crime ridden world of the fae. These two worlds meet (and often clash) in the fictional Southwestern metropolis of Soledad City, where magic, intrigue and dirty dealings mingle in the City’s dark alleys and gritty streets.

Silverwood Stories
