Very chuffed to be signing bookplates for an upcoming anthology Lovecraft's Dark Dreamlands. A fantastic TOC coming soon to a con near you!

My little tale combines the historical facts of Conan Doyle's family heritage and the Night of the Big Wind in Ireland, 1839, with the ongoing adventure of Jacqueline and Angélique in "Night of the Howling Wind." I loved writing this adventure!

France 1843. The opening of the Paris-Orléans railway brings engineering genius Jacqueline Duval face to... skull in a rousing steampunk adventure. How can she trust the charming railway agent Alain de Guise if he's really a threat to France? How does she stop a clockwork army? #steampunk #books

Clockwork technology and ingenuity are not the sole purview of Jolly Ol' England. By airship or locomotive, prairie schooner or steamboat, it’s time to explore the global landscape through lenses polished in the Age of Steam in Other Aether buff.ly/XD4O74r @esepcbooks.bsky.social @efdeal.bsky.social

Woke up at 5am when DH fell off the bed and stayed down. He was paralyzed along the right side and couldn’t talk. Called 911 and said stroke, so they followed stroke protocol. He was in surgery before 7 and when he came back he could move and make out some words. By this evening he was speaking…

The most horrendous attempt at assassinating the French King could have been much more devastating if Jacqueline Duval hadn't worked out the solution! Read my little tale "Ghosts in the Infernal Machine."

Just saw this in a news roundup about California schools: "But the state landed dead last for its pupil-to-student ratio, according to the study."

Quagmired in depression right now, but at least I have lost 50+ pounds on Zepbound and I can walk up and down stairs. I'm hoping I can dig out of the pit soon. I have two chapters to rewrite on Book 4 and I just discovered I used the wrong diagram to base my plot points abord the Indiaman. Sigh.
