Mostly, my books and the process of getting them on the shelves.
A few weeks ago, I asked for test readers who hadn’t read any of the Iron Seas books to read “Mina Wentworth and the Invisible City” and “Tethered,” then report back (here is the response form that I set up) on whether they stood alone or not. To date, I’ve received responses from about half […]
I’ve had quite a few readers ask me about whether Riveted would be available on ebook the same day as print, because it wasn’t available for pre-order alongside the print version. I think it was just a delay in the catalog updates — the ebook link is available now, although at Amazon the ebook version […]
Re-Reading “Falling for Anthony” Okay, well — the tl;dr version of what follows is: It’s not as bad as I feared and not as awesome as I would like. This isn’t going to be a review with a plot summary or anything. I’m going to assume that everyone has read this, because otherwise a lot […]
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. My daughter had a day camp at a college across the river, and rather than waste all my time driving back and forth, I stayed at the library and worked (but didn’t have access to the college network, alas.) But I did start writing the retrospective post […]
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.)
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 […]
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 […]
This will be available on August 7, 2012. Here’s the official page for it (with excerpt), but the description is as follows: Eight months after The Iron Duke, can their marriage survive a new danger? “Mina Wentworth and the Invisible City” A TALE OF THE IRON SEAS When newly-married Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth is called […]
I have a bunch of UK editions of The Iron Duke here, and I was thinking: What better way to celebrate a new site design than giving away books? (Okay, so there are probably better ways to celebrate, but I have a lot of books here and no shelf space. So please, help me unclutter […]
I’ll be slowly crawling out my cave over the next few days, and this is one of the things that I forgot to mention last week: the release of HEART OF STEEL in German by Egmont LYX! You can click on the cover to go to their website and to read their description.
First: I have a new RSS feed. If you prefer to read this in your feed reader, you will need to update your subscription. First Point Five: If you are in the Seattle area, I posted information about this week’s signing/forum below, plus a link to The Iron Duke discussion in Felicia Day’s Vaginal Fantasy […]
I’m still in my writing cave, but am poking out my head for a few minutes to post the cover for the third book in the Iron Seas series, Riveted. I love it to pieces (and I also love the new look for the series!) I’ve received a few questions regarding this book, so here’s […]
The Iron Duke is coming to Italian readers on March 1st (I think! I had to rely on Google Translate for that information). Here is the page from Newton Compton. Here is a PDF excerpt. This cover is much different from the other international covers we’ve seen so far — I actually thought it was […]
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this day to come, and it has! Demon Angel has just been released as an ebook. I’ve only checked Amazon and Barnes and Noble so far, but they both have it, so I imagine that it should be available wherever Penguin sells ebooks. I’d planned to throw a huge blog […]
I’m not really sure who Doc Turtle is, except that according to the following link he’s a mathematician and romance newbie — and that I got a couple of notices from readers today letting me know that Smart Bitches Trashy Books is hosting a readalong as he makes his way through The Iron Duke (I […]
