A Little Christmas and steampunk inspiration for everyone. Happy Holidays!


Here's the blurb of my novella, Captain Andrew's Flying Christmas:

Housemaid Linet Fenna would rather be an air pirate than a servant. When she finds the ladder to an airship dangling outside her garret window on Christmas Eve, 1892, she ascends to the skies above London on her late father’s flagship dirigible, the Christmas. The new captain is someone she never expected to see again, a dangerous, sexy foe. Is the Fenna family nemesis offering Linet her heart’s desire or a dastardly trap?

Captain Andrew’s motivations are as foggy as the coal-soaked sky. Prime Minister Gladstone’s Blockaders, a horde of automen and a teenage girl named Hatchet want Linet to fail in her quest to discover what happened to her missing family, but she is determined to have a happy Christmas.

This steampunk romance novella is currently available for the Amazon Kindle, on Smashwords, on Barnes and Noble, and at other outlets. The sequel, "Captain Fenna's Dirigible Valentine," is coming soon!

      1) I subscribe to your blog (skyla11377).

      2) I have never read a Steampunk book but I must say Captain Andrew's Flying Christmas has piqued my interest. The airship kind of reminds me of the movie Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (which had a somewhat brief scene with a dirigible). I would so like to know more about this book and have it be my first Steampunk novel.

      5) I requested your friendship on GoodReads.

        Hi April:

        I wrote my first story when I was 7, so I don't remember why I wanted to be a writer! But I suspect you get started by being a voracious reader and then thinking you can tell stories too.

        Thanks for stopping by!

        This summer, I had bronchitis and it interrupted the flow of the Victorian-set Christmas romance novel I was writing. By the time I was well again, my toddler had given up napping and my free time was gone. I decided my brain needed something shorter than a full-length novel if I was going to ever get any writing done again (Tot playing at my feet quietly while I write? Not so much.) and I noticed there weren’t too many steampunk romance Christmas stories out there. Since I’ve already co-written one full-length steampunk novel, I thought I was just the writer to add to this sub-sub-erm-sub? genre.

        The original idea came to me about a year ago, and the kernel was a girl finding a ladder waiting for her at her attic window. Above? An airship, with a life of possibility. Below, all the responsibilities of being a housemaid at Christmastime.
