We’re less than 24 hours from the start of UtopYA, an author-fan con a fellow steampunk author has raved about. It’s four days of fun in Nashville, Tenn, an easy drive for me (who likes driving across country–really!) and the focus is on young adult and new adult supernatural and contemporary fiction–right up my alley!

My second proof has arrived and the interior is per-fect. (finally!) I’m taking another day to decide glossy or matte? Matte or glossy? I really like the feel of the matte, but these colors really pop in glossy! A photo doesn’t quite show the difference, but here it is: Matte on left, glossy on right. […]

A few weeks ago I mentioned I’d purchased a pendant for myself with The Unraveling cover. Ta-da! Thank you, Mary Behre! I love it. I wrote about how Mary, author and artist, started making them and showed other samples in a post here, but you can contact Mary through her website (http://marybehre.com/ ) or at […]
Wow, I’m still grinning stupidly from cover reveal day. Thanks for all the posts, tweets and good wishes! So how about that beautiful farming valley my cover artist Craig created? The Peaks District in England–the setting of the story–doesn’t quite look like this, as my Pinterest research board shows. I bet you’ve figured out why […]
Woo-hoo! Welcome to my cover reveal for The Unraveling, Volume One of The Luminated Threads! Isn’t it beautiful? I’m so very lucky to be working with the creative and talented Craig Shields. (I wrote a post about him a few days ago—see it here.) ~ ~ ~ About the Book: In 1868 England, the competition to […]
The Unraveling is a steampunk fantasy, and that means magic powering the machines! Oh, yes, The Unraveling offers plenty of magic, including its magical cover that will be revealed tomorrow!
I’m using the tag ‘A Steampunk Fantasy Romance’ to describe The Unraveling, but my novel isn’t all about gears and steam. Steampunk falls within the science fiction genre. Libraries and bookstores will categorize my novel as: Fiction/science fiction/steampunk But that still doesn’t explain it. So, think Jules Verne. He lived and wrote in the 1800s, […]
