No, it's not a Western!

Just in case you were wondering, because the comment has been made! As pretty as my Victoriana Adventure cover is, it's a tad deceiving in outfit and cover typeface. This novella is a historical fantasy, but not to the Wild Wild West. It's set at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight in the 1860s, a beautiful estate built by Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert. The heroine is their daughter Princess Helena, in fact, very fictionalized.
My hero, skateboarding Ollie Brown, does come from the American West, if Tacoma, Washington counts. But he's not a gunslinger, he's a chemist.
Still, I must say the cover artist captured the melancholy mood of my heroine perfectly, and the background does give it that castle feel nicely. Read the story to see how Ollie brings a smile to his princess' face...the treasure in this story isn't gold, it's a Snickers bar.
