Yay! This is another first for me, and I’m enjoying the [...]

I just received my author’s copies of Das mechanische herz, the German-language edition of Clockwork Heart. It’s incredible, seeing my first novel translated into another language; I’d dreamed about writing a fantasy novel ever since I was a child, and seeing Clockwork Heart in print was the realization of that dream. However, I never dreamed [...]

Steampunk Romance: The Next Big Thing?

drupagliassotti @ September 1, 2009 # 2 Comments

A guest post by Heather Massey over at Dear Author is titled “The Case for Steampunk Romance“: Steampunk romance is a subgenre that’s ripe for exploring.

Liviu at Fantasy Book Critic has just posted a notice about my sale of An Agreement with Hell. Thank you for your kind words about Clockwork Heart, too! I hope reviewers will enjoy Agreement.
