Welcome to the City of Smoke and Iron, a diesel-pulp fiction creation where hardboiled detectives and femme-fatales drink caffeine as dark as their skin.
“The City is your source for bite sized, diesel-pulp fiction stories. Each short story is sent straight to your inbox, and tells the tales of femme fatales, private eyes and street hustlers who never quite know if they’ll see tomorrow.
Much like the lives of its residents, stories from the City of Smoke and Iron are often quick and bloody. The thrills they provide fit in the palm of your hands, and are the perfect reads for cab rides, train stops and bitter cups of caffeine.”

QUESTIONS
What is Patreon, anyway?
Patreon is a way to support your favorite creators by becoming a “Patron” of their art. You can kick send a bit of money toward them on a monthly or per-project basis so they can continue to do things like eat and make art that you love. Donating through Patreon means that you also get access to bonus content—like voting for which story becomes an audio drama next – that aren’t available for non-Patreons.
What’s diesel-pulp fiction?
Diesel pulp fiction is a mix between noir crime thrillers and dieselpunk/retro sci fi (WWI – WWII inspired alternate history, adventure or fantasy). It’s a world where dirigibles in the sky and undead trench warfare won’t keep hard-boiled detectives and femme-fatales from making ends however they can.
How often will you be releasing stories?
Patron only short stories will be released about once a week. Audio-dramas will be released monthly.

What is Dieselfunk, you ask?
Dieselfunk is a type of fiction, film and fashion that combines the style and mood of the period between World War I and the early 1950s with Afrofuturistic inspiration.
Dieselfunk tells the exciting untold stories of people of African descent during the Jazz Age.
Think the Harlem Renaissance meets Science Fiction…think Chalky White (from “Boardwalk Empire”) doing battle with robots run amok in his territory…that is Dieselfunk!

“Known as the Motorcycle Queen of Miami, Bessie Stringfield started riding when she was 16. She was the first African-American woman to travel cross-country solo, and she did it at age 19 in 1929, riding a 1928 Indian Scout. Bessie traveled through all of the lower 48 states during the ’30s and ’40s at a time when the country was rife with prejudice and hatred. She later rode in Europe, Brazil, and Haiti and during World War II she served as one of the few motorcycle despatch riders for the United States military.”
