By the time I got back to her, her books where sold out! :) Sounds like one worth selling out of. Thanks again for the great review. I'm going to see about getting a copy. I have a book mark here with the book information on, I'll have to work on that. :)Melissa (My World...in words and pages)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09621830513280969319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-68880402419993577312011-08-08T10:36:35.242-06:002011-08-08T10:36:35.242-06:00Thanks, Melissa, for featuring Lady of Devices!

It was probably the most fun I've had writing a book (after 18 or so published with NY publishers) because steampunk rolls the horizons of possibility back to allow for fun :)<br /><br />The sequel, Her Own Devices, will be out as soon after Christmas as I can manage (got another book to finish before then). And then I plan book 3, Magnificent Devices, in the summer of 2012. <br /><br />BTW, it does have a Regency feel but it's set in 1889. There were steam engines during the Regency, thanks to the great Cornish engineer Richard Trevithick, but they didn't really come into their own until 1841, when the Industrial Revolution got going, which is why so much steampunk is set after that date. Okay, history factoid ended!
