My newsletter subscribers were the first to get a look at the cover of Magnificent Devices Book Eight. A very good reason to sign up, what? So with a flourish, I whip the concealing sheet away–ta da! Here is our Tigg in his natural habitat, the engine room of an airship!
Creating a book cover is one of the most fun parts about being independently published. Of course, I don’t actually get my spoon in the soup, as Snouts might say, but I do usually have a concept in mind. So, when I was looking for images for the cover of book eight, A Gentleman of Means, I…
In A Gentleman of Means, narrator Fiona Hardingham turns in another amazing performance for book eight of the series. I could listen to her bring my characters to life all day (and sometimes on road trips, I do)! Find your copy at your favorite retailer, or you might even ask your local library to order the…
Probably the most frequent question I receive is “When will the next book be out?” The answer to that question depends on how far away we are. It can range from “next spring” to “next week” to “as soon as I get this wretched plot figured out!” But to get an even better idea, you…

Looks great, can’t wait to read it.
Terrific!
Woo Hoo! So exciting! I’ve always pictured Tigg as more lanky, but I love the look on this guy’s face! It is definitely Tigg. It says I am somebody, and I dare you to say otherwise!
Awesome! Nice to visual Tigg!!
Love it. When is it coming out
As soon as I get it done 🙂 probably May or thereabouts.
It will be different having a male protagonist. I am looking forward to reading this book. I loved each of the others. I thought the latest installment was extremely clever and entertaining. I don’t know how you are going to top that one, but I look forward to finding out.
It will still be the same ensemble cast–I just wanted to put Tigg on the cover. He’ll get more stage time, too. Somebody has to kill the–oops. Can’t tell!
