“Intertwined” was my attempt to write a short story that mashed up the Regency period and steampunk. In this story, the main character is a young woman inventor who tires of high society. When she meets a young man with a similar opinion, she is delighted. But things turn quickly … and I’ll leave my […]

“Don’t Count Your Sprite Shards Before They’re Caged” was inspired by seeing images of sprite lightning, which is REALLY wild looking. I decided to write about an airship with cloud divers who went after sprite lightning as a power source, which turned into this story. It was written as a flash fiction piece, which meant […]

An interesting thing about trilogies (or any series, really) is that readership tends to drop off for later books in the series. I can certainly see this when I look at the reviews for each book in my Brass and Glass trilogy. The first book has twice as many reviews as books 2 and 3 combined. […]

When the editors at Razorgirl Press (the original publishers of my Brass and Glass series) asked me whether Brass and Glass: The Cask of Cranglimmering was a stand-alone book, I was pretty sure the answer was “no.” But I hadn’t entirely figured out what would happen in the rest of the books.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost six years since I published my first novel, Brass and Glass: The Cask of Cranglimmering. In a lot of ways, it feels like it’s been even longer than that!

It’s a fantasy story in which spiders run a shop and interact with other swamp creatures. The reading level is about right […]
