October 1871, Chicago burned.
And from the ashes emerged the Chicago St. Clairs.
As recent transplants to a foregone era, the St. Clairs of the Clarion Division are still acclimating to their surroundings. It will probably take a while.
Meet River St. Clair, the city's newest medical examiner and a female necessarily disguised as a man, and her brother Archer, the business district's police inspector. And although both are specially equipped to handle criminals of the twenty-second century, their high-tech skills are far less useful for crime-fighting in the Victorian Windy City.
The death of Arthur Boyd is their first case since being displaced in time, and it looks like they'll have to solve it the old-fashioned way, almost.
Fans of mystery and intrigue, sci-fi, steampunk, and gaslamp-era fiction will enjoy FROM TIME TO TIME, the prequel sci-fi short story for the Windy City Files.
Meet the Chicago St. Clairs today.
