Typewriter in the Sky: Magical Realism. Alternate History. No Way Out.

Stranger Than Fiction meets Pirates of the Caribbean in this humorous genre-twisting adventure—where a man wakes up as the villain in his friend’s swashbuckling novel.

“A true masterpiece of the genre … an exhilarating romp, filled with delightful twists and turns.” —Kevin J. Anderson

“Both funny and profound.” —S.M. Stirling

The author has a plot, but the villain has other plans.

Mike de Wolf is a pianist on the verge of his big break—until his friend Horace Hackett casts him as the tragic villain in a swashbuckling pirate novel. The plot? Buccaneers, lost love, and a duel between a noble English rogue and a poetic Spanish admiral. The villain? Mike himself—reimagined as the brooding Miguel de Lobo.

A freak electrical accident propels Mike from 1940s New York into the magical realism of the 1640s Caribbean—an alternate history shaped by cannon fire, cutlasses, and the whims of a frustrated writer. Trapped inside Horace’s unfinished manuscript, Mike must navigate a world where fiction is fact, plot is fate, and a flame-haired beauty may yet break his heart.

Back in New York, Horace relentlessly plots the demise of the villainous de Lobo with no idea his best friend is living every word. If Mike wants to survive—or escape—he’ll have to outwit the plot itself … and possibly rewrite his own ending.

Typewriter in the Sky is a genre-bending classic of magical realism and alternate history, where the only way out of the story … may be to finish it.
