Four days ahead of schedule. I’m still waiting on Apple iBooks, but for now, it’s available at these fine establishments:
I hope you enjoy it! If you do, be sure to leave a review on amazon, B&N, or Goodreads. I’d really appreciate it!
Chapter 1 London, 1889 To say the explosion rocked the laboratory at St. Cecelia’s Academy for Young Ladies might have overstated the case, but she was still never going to hear the end of it. Claire Trevelyan closed her eyes as a gobbet of reddish-brown foam dripped off the ceiling and landed squarely on the…
A country house party. A broken friendship. A debt that must be paid in blood. When Lady Emilie Selwyn invites Andrew and Lady Claire Malvern to her very first country house party, Claire is delighted to offer her help—until she discovers that Peony Churchill is also on the guest list.

Canva.com is one of those fun websites where you can create things that make you look like you do marketing for a living. Graphic design is definitely not one of my skills, but the folks at Canva give me images and templates that satisfy the goofy creative itch that says, “Today you must make a…
An air voyage to remember turns into a disaster no one may survive. With her orphaned charges, Lady Claire Trevelyan joins the Earl of Dunsmuir’s family on an airship voyage to the Americas. If she can stay out of Lord James Selwyn’s way until her eighteenth birthday, she will be of age and cannot be…
I’m not the type who moves furniture every couple of months just to make a room look different. I figure if I chose the best arrangement the first time, it’s still going to be the best a year later, right? Well, this works with furniture, but with book covers … I like some room to…

Thanks, Julia! Writing them is just as much fun … It brings back the joy again!
Bought it! Been wondering — who does those spectacular book covers for you!?
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the book. The art is by the amazing Claudia at phatpuppyart.com, and I have a friend do the lettering. I love these covers, too!
Yea!!!
Oh man oh man oh man. I’m 79% of the way through re-reading the second book, and popped over here to remind myself when the third was coming and discover it’s OUT ALREADY?! My day has just been made.
And I hope you like the dashing character of Captain IAN Hollys 🙂
Ha, yeah. I admit to laughing out loud when I discovered he was described as “dashing” in the very first paragraph he was introduced.
I literally just finished Her Own Devices and was like “Ohh I REALLY want Magnificent Devices-When does it come out?” And then I looked it up and happily discovered it was today! I have been loving the series so far and can’t wait to read this third installment! Will this releasing in book form at some point? I don’t mind kindle books but I really prefer hard copies.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying them 🙂 Yes, I plan on a print edition by Thanksgiving. It takes a little longer than digital, as you can imagine, but it’s coming!
Yay!
I just saw that the third one was out and re-read the first two, then devoured the third! I think the books get even better. I am thrilled there will be a fourth.
Thank you, Tori! I’m having so much fun with them it’s hard to stop 🙂
