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!
Good news! I’ve finished the short story that will be included in the Shapers of Worlds anthology—tentatively titled “The Knack of Flying.” The title, if it’s allowed to stand, comes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: “There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw…
Holly Cottage, the third book in my little “manor house” miniseries, releases today. If, like me, you harbor a soft spot for Jake, then this one’s for you 🙂 Buying a cottage is not as easy as you’d think. Especially if you’re a man with a past … in love with a woman with a…
Characters are the engine that drives any plot—which makes the question, “Which is more important? Character or plot?” redundant. You can’t have one without the other. The next question is, “Where do your characters come from?” And the answer is, “From just about anywhere.” Case in point: Alice Chalmers, the grungy girl mechanic who appeared…

London, 1889. Victoria is Queen. Charles Darwin’s son is Prime Minister. And steam is the power that runs the world. At 17, Claire Trevelyan, daughter of Viscount St. Ives, was expected to do nothing more than pour an elegant cup of tea, sew a fine seam, and catch a rich husband. Unfortunately, Claire’s talents lie…
Just bought it! Thanks for letting us know. I’ve been waiting impatiently. The story is so much fun.

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 🙂
