Mostly, my books and the process of getting them on the shelves.
The Iron Duke has been given RT Book Reviews’ October Seal of Excellence, and they say some really lovely things about the book at that link. Other recent reviews have been Mrs. Giggles’ and Felicia Day’s (and I’m hard-pressed to say which brings out the bigger fangirl in me). I also ran across Sarah’s (at […]
Well, after years and years of hoping that I’d someday write a steampunk romance, the day is here: BURNING UP is out, and the novella “Here There Be Monsters” launches my new series, The Iron Seas. I hope you all love it! Here are the winners of the quickie contest yesterday, as picked by random.org: […]
I’ve added Iron Seas info to the FAQ page (mostly reprinting my What is steampunk? post and answering whether the books will stand alone.) But the other topic about which I’ve been asked a few times is the alternate history. It’s a funny thing about alternate history — none of the characters in the book […]
Who will be DEMON MARKED’s hero? I’ve been getting this question a lot, and since it isn’t a secret I’m happy to answer it here: SLIGHTLY SPOILERISH FOR DEMON BLOOD, SO I’M PUTTING IT DOWN THE PAGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It’s St. Croix, from […]
So, author copies for Burning Up came today. I’m also currently looking over the typeset pages for The Iron Duke, and making the final corrections before that book is printed for its October release. It’s a little strange. I haven’t been this nervous about a release since … Demon Moon, I think. Every release comes […]
Normally I’d quote a bunch of reviews, but this time I’m just going to say: HOLY CRAP, JUST LOOK AT THE COVER. Amazon | Borders | BN.com | Powells | Booktopia (Aus) | Book Depository Read an excerpt here (oh, and see more reviews, too.)
I think the announcement was made in PW today, so I’ll put it here, too: I’ve sold the final two books in the Guardian series, which will be DEMON MARKED, coming in August 2011, and Michael’s book, scheduled for 2012 (date and title TBA). I’m super-pleased to be working with Cindy Hwang at Berkley again, […]
So, this is the almost-final cover to THE IRON DUKE. If you saw the prelim version in the Berkley fall catalog, you’ll notice the changes are basically that he’s bigger and dirtier…just the way I like him. 😀 The background will be changed a little (they are adding an airship) but since it’s a small […]

It’s that time again! I have four ARCs of DEMON BLOOD to give away on this site. No hoops to jump through — you just have to comment before midnight on April 24th to enter. But! there is a small catch. These are advance review copies, and I’d really love it if they were used […]
Ana at the Book Smugglers wrote an early review of my novella, Here There Be Monsters, for Steampunk Week II. And last night at around 3 a.m., I sent her a guest post about steampunk romance that’s supposed to go up on Saturday (if it’s Saturday, click here!) Last night was kind of hazy: I […]
…and my inner control freak. (Er, not that there is an outer control freak, is there?) And I usually don’t post these, but one search term that brought someone to my site was fuck against wall: romance novels Dear searcher, you might like these: Just click on a cover! Although, okay — DEMON ANGEL was […]
…and here is another post that could have probably just been on Twitter.
…and here is another post that could have probably just been on Twitter.
…I’m at Odd Shots, talking about the music for the Guardian series. And in case you missed it, I put up an excerpt for Demon Blood (it does include spoilers for Demon Forged, so if you haven’t read that yet, be warned.) Here’s a snippet from the Burning Up novella (I am LOVING the steampunk, […]
