Description
The Midnight Sleeper Series: Come along to the Jazz Age as it bursts onto the scene, 100 years ago, and yanks the Victorian era off of life support to give us the turbulent years of the 1920s: a time with no plan and no direction, but loaded with energy and creativity, and a madness that always rides piggyback on good intentions. Come along with Beau LaHood and friends to a world long gone and live in it as it is written and spoken. Hear the roar of coal-fired steam locomotives; board floating speakeasies just out of reach of the authorities in New York; then visit distant lands where a different kind of madness is brewing as people speak as if no one is listening. Then encounter a sorceress reluctantly abiding in a world that dismisses all wonder save for the corrosive grab for power. Come, there’s no time to waste.

KIRKUS REVIEWS Midnight Sleeper, Book1
"Lomax has a knack for memorable phrases; one character, for example, has 'a face as long as a sermon,' and another 'smiled the way a crab crawls.' The author also has a gift for the sort of wiseacre repartee that one imagines people speaking in the Roaring ’20s. Period details, meanwhile, are spot-on; Lomax has clearly done his homework. ..Lomax keeps the plot (and readers) hopping in this quirky novel.

Wow! Just WOW! What a gripping read. Took place during the 20’s step behind the scenes of speakeasies. Whether in New York or on. The locomotive. Takes place during prohibition and the gritty part of bootlegging life.Characters are so well developed, you can’t help but root for them to succeed with their naughty deeds. This includes porter Beau LaHood, a Jim Crowe era guy trying to make a living to support his family. Not that he ever has time to spend with his family, but he supports them nonetheless. He helps his childhood friend pass off her homemade whiskey, whose very wealthy family did at one time own slaves. The side stories enter twine seamlessly. I would highly recommend reading. Thanks to the follow for an advance copy. All opinions are my own.
