Send in the clowns … and I’m gone
ByAdinaI have never liked the circus. Mum and dad only took us once that I can remember, but I had a miserable time. Those poor animals. All those people. And the clowns. Man, those clowns would come running up into the stands and I’d be scrooched back so far on my bench in sheer terror and…
Lady of Devices—Excerpt
ByAdinaChapter 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…
Printable booklist
ByAdinaRecently I’ve been around other authors a lot, enjoying the benefits of people who generously share what they know. My to-do list has been getting longer as a result, and full of more highlight pen colours! Some things are difficult to put in place (marketing plan for Germany, I’m looking at you). Others are very…

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 🙂
