Into Aether
Colorado teen Theodora (Theo) will do anything to find her missing mom, including travel into the hidden and mysterious Victorian subculture of Aether. She takes a ride with airship pirates to a floating island full of strange automatons and even stranger people.
After a century-old feud reignites, she uncovers the alarming truth about her family’s past. Finding her mother is more important than ever.
Escape Aether
Valera longs to escape her sheltered life and overbearing mother. She just never imagines that her opportunity would arrive after being kidnapped.
Now she has a decision to make: face a world filled with danger and discover her own power, or return home where it’s safe and live in a gilded cage.
Save Aether
Julia never had a real family until meeting Theo and Valera. Now that they are united by the Trinity Key, they are plagued by nightmares. Danu, the goddess of Aether, is in agony and calls out to them to free her.
However, the Elders who rule Aether don’t want to give up their power and warn the girls to stay away from Danu’s tomb. Julia must decide whether to trust the Elders or to follow her instincts and unleash Danu upon the world.
Q & A Time
I’ve been asked to answer a few fan questions, so here we go…
- Can you tell us a little bit about how you came up with the idea for writing this series?
I really love the idea of mashups – taking two seemingly unrelated genres and creating something new. For example, for the Trinity Key Trilogy, I mixed Steampunk and Celtic folklore. I was reading about a book on folklore and came across an interesting legend, and I’ve been fascinated with steampunk for a while. Once I had the concept, the story just wove itself together.
- What have you learned about the steampunk genre while creating this world?
I’ve learned that steampunk is a diverse genre that goes beyond the typical steam machine technology idea. There is everything from cyber punk to diesel punk to Tesla punk and more. It also has a varied, creative, and loyal fan base.
- What is most important to you in developing a good plot and deep characters?
I think it all comes down to the art of story-telling. A great concept is important, but if you can’t tell an engaging story then a manuscript falls flat. If you reflect on all of the classics throughout history, they all have dynamic characters who come to life for the reader. Before you ever start writing, you should know your characters. They should become living, breathing people in your mind. I also find that good outlining skills are a must (even if you’re a pantser like me.) Outlines are essential to creating well developed plot.
This looks so awesome!! I can’t wait to read them!!!
Thank you! So excited!
Is there a goodreads link? Wanted to add it to my TBR so I remember to take a look at it.
