"The dog woke me up, snarling and starving. Magic always made him hungry."

Small Town Witch is a noir with a fantasy twist. Set in a 1920's New York where Prohibition outlaws the brewing of spells, the story follows Vincent Byrde, a hard-boiled PI who struggles with a magic curse. After a long career hunting magic bootleggers, Vincent has become obsessed with the frustrating case of Jimmy Wonder: a young, up-and-coming spellrunner who keeps slipping out of the hands of the law. Their dance takes a complicated turn when Kitty Lovelace -- well-known to be Jimmy's main girl -- walks out on Wonder and into Vincent's life.

Aimed at adult audiences, and (like any good noir story) contains violence, nudity and sexual content.

In development since 2012, Small Town Witch has become a densely illustrated pilot short-story. Born out of the simple want to create a world featuring a name like 'Katharine Lovelace,' the story is intended as a deconstruction of the pulp detective genre, and a love-letter to flapper girls of the roaring 20's.
