The Sheepshifter’s Daughter* His name was Randy. He came in the night, his devil-eyes flashing under the full moonlight. She succumbed to temptation. He left before morning. A month later, she felt the quickening. Should she tell him? No. He’d left her. She would have his secret baby. Even if he offered up his billions […]
I’ve been designing postcards for every book release and mailing them out (if you want to sign up to receive these, you can do that here) — I’d planned to send Riveted‘s next, but I just realized that I actually have a release before that for the epilogue novella in August. For the past novellas […]
Chelsea from Vampire Book Club is hosting a fabulous charity auction in memory of her father. I’ve donated copies of the UK editions of The Iron Duke and Heart of Steel as part of a larger package, along with a signed set of seven Guardian novels. There are also many more wonderful items – mostly […]
Whee! This is Michael and Taylor’s book. It’s also the same month that my Iron Seas novella “Salvage” will release (starring Big Thom, whom we briefly saw in Heart of Steel.)
About My TBR: When I was asking for site feedback and asking what readers would like to see, Sheila mentioned that she would like “What am I reading?” updates or recommended books. Since I haven’t had much chance to read lately, my recommendations are pretty thin … but I do keep on buying a ton […]
Right here. There’s also a giveaway! Come join us. I’ll be checking in all day on Tuesday (or for as long as people ask me stuff).
She’s back and hotter than ever! Lady Lara Coughed has never been defeated. Not by giant spiders or rabid dogs, or even by those crazy militants who always show up in the tombs she’s exploring. But will her big guns be big enough to protect her when she faces her deadliest foe yet? This time […]
Today it’s Prometheus, of course — but I saw this movie mentioned here (one of my favorite blogs, actually) and it looked exactly like the sort of thing I’d like: The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch Which is available for streaming on Netflix and for rent at Amazon (though free if you’re a Prime member.) And […]
A note to my regular readers: I will be giving away copies of the novella after it releases! I don’t mean to leave you out. Unfortunately, the nature of the novellas just means that I have to ask new readers to look them over. But I always, always have tons of giveaways, so there will […]
For those of you in the UK (and I think in Aus/NZ), the Berkley UK edition of Heart of Steel should be available today! You can see all of my international editions here.
I’m looking for three or four test readers who HAVE NOT read either The Iron Duke or Heart of Steel (but if you’ve read “Here There Be Monsters,” that’s okay) to read the two epilogue novellas, “Mina Wentworth and the Invisible City” and “Tethered” — then report back on whether the stories work as standalones […]
So, I read for fun for the first time in a while this week! That was totally awesome. The book I read last night is not out yet, so I’ll talk a little more about it when the time comes. Until then, I have a huge TBR. It’s kind of scary/intimidating. I still won’t be […]
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Ova. She wasn’t like the other princesses, who each had long and flowing tresses. Ova, the poor thing, only had a small blond fringe at the top of her head. “No one will ever believe I’m a princess!” Ova sobbed into her Fallopian pillow every […]
Okay, after my weenie wafflings earlier today, I posted the first chapter of RIVETED. Like all of my books, it’s heavy on worldbuilding and starts off slow. But I promise it picks up! Here is the excerpt. And, because this is such a weenie post, here’s a photo of one of the locations in the […]
Check out these photos on Retronaut: Pittsburgh before smoke control. This is pretty much how I imagine the air in several cities in the Iron Seas world would be. *cough cough*
