TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY
I have been blown away by all of the support and best wishes I’ve received in the last few months, so I have been busily typing away in order to share a special surprise with all of my readers as a thank you! My Christmas novella, Tarnished Knight, is set in the London Steampunk world and feature Rip and Esme from Kiss of Steel. It is set between Kiss of Steel and Heart of Iron (Book Two), which is due out in May 2013 and may just feature a sneak peek at the couple from Heart of Iron.
Tarnished Knight will appear in serial form leading up until Christmas Day, with a chapter being revealed every couple of days on the blog. The full novella will hopefully be appearing online as an eBook early next year.
The first chapter will be posted on the 5th of December, with the final chapter popping up on Christmas Day. I will also be hosting a giveaway of two signed copies of Kiss of Steel (and swag) throughout the month...

Sneak Preview of Heart of Iron
What’s next?
Since I’ve been getting this request a lot from readers, I thought I’d share a little bit about Book Two in the London Steampunk series.
Heart of Iron is due out in May 2013 and features Will, Blade’s hulking verwulfen lieutenant and Lena Todd, Honoria’s pretty and flirtatious sister.
In Victorian London, if you’re not a blue blood of the Echelon then you’re nothing at all. The Great Houses rule the city with an iron fist, imposing their strict ‘blood taxes’ on the nation, and the Queen is merely a puppet on a string...
Lena Todd makes the perfect spy. Nobody suspects the flirtatious debutante could be a sympathizer for the humanist movement haunting London’s vicious blue blood elite. Not even the ruthless Will Carver, the one man she can’t twist around her little finger, and the one man whose kiss she can’t forget...
Stricken with the loupe and considered little more than a slave-without-a-collar to the blue bloods, Will wants nothing to do with the Echelon or the dangerous beauty who drives him to the very edge of control. But when he finds a coded letter on Lena – a code that matches one he saw on a fire-bombing suspect – he realizes she’s in trouble. To protect her, he must seduce the truth from her.
With the humanists looking to start a war with the Echelon, Lena and Will must race against time – and an automaton army – to stop the humanist plot before it’s too late. But as they fight to save a city on the brink of revolution, the greatest danger might just be to their hearts...
EXTRACT
One more flight of stairs to the ground entrance. Lena gathered her pink skirts and started dashing down them but Will leapt in front of her, a frown on his face. “What’s wrong?”
