DA BWAHA nominee! March 18, 2010

One of my books, Heartless, is nominated for a DA BWAHA award. What are DA BWAHA you ask? They’re only the 3rd annual Dear Author Bitchery Writing Award for Hellagood Authors run by the bloggers at Dear Author and Smart Bitches Trashy Books. That’s what! So if you enjoyed Heartless, or my work in general, I invite you to GO VOTE. Thank you!

FULL STEAM AHEAD, BABY! March 3, 2010

My latest book just launched. It’s a steampunk story entitled Full Steam Ahead. You’ve seen the cover here before, but let me share again, because I do like that cover.  Very handsome dudes do that to me.

Incidentally, all kinds of goodness follows this release. First, Heather from the Galaxy Express let me take the floor. Thank you Heather!

Second, The Independent on Sunday, some classy ink in the UK, talked about steampunk and listed Full Steam Ahead as what’s hot coming 2010. Again, Heather made this possible. Fist England, then the world! Mwa ha haa!

Also, a very special blog called Steampunk Scholar is as-we-speak reading Full Steam Ahead. Take a look at the most excellent limk to Albion Mike has on his blog. Man, I wish I could go!

The process of creating Full Steam Ahead wasn’t all fun and games. My editor and I had some Serious Discussions about what we thought would and would not work on a steampunk romance, about themes and symbols. Her article entitled Making it Matter is very, very interesting. That woman rocks in so many ways.

Lastly, let me thank everyone at Bitten By Books, and especially Beet, who took up my challenge and found a name for my villain. Thorne Sankliver is thus named thanks to Beet.

Happy reading!
