JADE'S 1st ADVENTURE
War takes its toll on the survivors,
and those who participated in that first “Great War” became known
as the Lost Generation.
Their exploits eventually gave rise to the
roaring twenties. Jade is one of those survivors. She has become a
drifter, searching for a missing person, a murderer, then searching for
herself. Her mystery adventures chronicle those searches.

"With her caramel coloring and green eyes,
American Jade del Cameron is nothing short of exotic. But don't
