There's a special spirit that animates Deep Ellum, the most hip and historical neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. Her name is Ms. Eddy Weekes. Her pawn shop draws in the lost and the lovelorn, the talented and the tragic.

She'll lend a hand when she can, but Eddy believes in free will. As she puts it, "Everybody has the right to make their own hideous life-altering mistakes." Still, if supernatural forces threaten her turf, she'll take an interest. And if you ask her for help? Well, as the sign outside her pawnshop says, she's there when you need her.

Deep Ellum Pawn

What's a pawnshop owner to do? The Golden Fiddle is back again. It's left a swath of broken dreams and shattered lives in its wake, and that fearsome pack of Hell Hounds won't be far behind.

Somehow the fiddle keeps returning to Deep Ellum Pawn, Ms. Eddy's shop, where music, magic, and legends intertwine in the historic Dallas, Texas neighborhood of Deep Ellum. Roots grow deep there, and things long buried have a way of showing up again. Before Ms. Eddy can end the curse's destruction for good, she must unravel the fiddle's secret.

Can she fend off the Hell Hounds, get to the heart of the Golden Fiddle's curse, and protect her neighborhood before it's too late? Will she have the tools she needs, when it's time to fight an epic battle with an old, old rival? Or will the fiddle's destructive curse prevail?

Deep Ellum Blues

Free will is a rule she doesn't break.

As the genius loci of Deep Ellum, Ms. Eddy Weeks is a hands-off goddess who won't micro-manage human affairs. She'd rather sit on the sidelines and enjoy the show. Her motto? "People have the right to make their own hideous, life-altering mistakes."

But there's something different about the young blues musician Mudcat Randall.

Maybe if her old friend Waylon hadn't called him to her attention, she'd have let things be. Maybe if she hadn't glimpsed something special in his music ... But Mudcat is flirting with disaster. Eddy's old adversary wants him to sign a tempting management contract, and there are deadly strings attached.

When a third force enters the fray, everything Mudcat has ever prayed for is suddenly on the line, and Eddy knows the game is rigged against him. Can Eddy break through to the headstrong musician? Or will an old and tragic story make Deep Ellum sing a new kind of blues?
