The Lady Astronomer by Katy O'Dowd

My good friend Katy O'Dowd, who works harder than anyone I know, has a book out.










Called The Lady Astronomer, the book is available in the UK and USA.



Here's the blurb from the publisher Untold Press -





"Lucretia's quiet life as an astronomer and hat-maker is quickly turned on its
head by her brother. He is commanded by the king to build the grandest telescope
in the land. Unfortunately for Lucretia, she is introduced to his majesty as her
brother's assistant. Her nights spent on rooftops gazing at the stars are
replaced by adventure and danger. In a race to build the Forty-foot telescope on
time for the king, her misfortunes take their toll. When Lucretia finds herself
held hostage at the Clockwork Court, the innocent country girl doesn't know who
to trust. The lady astronomer finds court life to be more dangerous than she
could have ever imagined. Even if her brothers manage to build the telescope on
time, she might not live to earn her freedom.
With the help of her brothers,
Freddie and Al, and her constant companions Leibniz the Lemur and Orion the
Eagle Owl, Lucretia embarks on a journey that could change her life forever. Can
she find the strength inside to balance her new life and overcome the obstacles
threatening her destiny? Only the stars will tell."
