So how would a Nadia/Caina crossover work?
When I mentioned CLOAK & GHOST: BLOOD RING yesterday, people were excited, but concerned. How would a Caina/Nadia crossover work? Like, would Caina fall through a magic portal or something and land on Nadia’s version of Earth?
A setup like that always seems contrived and forced.
Then I thought about Sherlock Holmes.
The original Holmes stories were set in the 1880s and the 1890s of London (with occasional jaunts into the British countryside), but other writers since have set Holmes stories at different times and places. The Basil Rathbone movies about Holmes, for instance, were set in the 1940s. Recently the BBC made a series about a tech-savvy Sherlock Holmes who lived in 21st century London and dealt with modern crimes like cyber heists and terrorism. Another series had Holmes solving crimes in modern New York while recovering from his cocaine addiction. There’s a version of Sherlock Holmes who solves mysteries in the 22nd century, and another who has battled the cosmic monsters of HP Lovecraft’s mythos.
Thinking along those lines, what if Caina was born and grew up and lived in Nadia’s world? What if Nadia met a version of Caina who lived on Earth?
What would happen when the two of them met?
We’ll find out in CLOAK & GHOST: BLOOD RING next month!

If the Nadia/Caina crossover works out, would you consider a mega-crossover where all your major main characters fall into a magic portal on their respective worlds only to end up on Jack March’s ship as it makes a warp jump?
Ha, probably not, no. But we’ll see how this crossover works out first! 🙂
Can’t wait! This ought to be an interesting adventure and maybe more than one as well!
