Dropping in to say I’m really, really, happy with the amount of great feedback I’ve been getting on Ship of Dreams. This sapphic, steampunk, romance, adventure novel was one of the most difficult I’ve ever tried to write, so the reviews saying how much people have loved it mean even more than usual.

And you don’t have to know or like steampunk, either…

That’s the most common thing in the reviews. So many people didn’t have a clue what steampunk was in the first place, but because they like my other stuff, they went ahead and gave it a try, and ended up loving it. To me, that’s a real indication of something that’s done what you wanted it to.

Will you give it a try too?

Two rival captains, one deadly mission, and secrets that could set the skies ablaze.

London-on-High, 1898.
Captain Temp Strud is all about secrets: her own and those that belong to her ship’s passengers. When a high-stakes mission to retrieve a world-changing ancient artefact goes wrong, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance with the Devil’s Urchin pirate captain, whose reputation is as fierce as her smile is disarming.
Temp needs Minty’s cunning, and Minty’s freedom is in Temp’s hands. But as danger looms and rivals close the gap, secrets and betrayal threaten to derail their quest. One wrong move could cost them the prize—and their lives.
With the fate of the world on the line, can the two captains get to the famed Golden Apple before their enemies unleash devastation beyond imagination?
