But this book actually includes more ‘typical’ steampunk elements than its prequel Mechanica did: there are airships, steampunk-style submarines, and automaton soldiers all over the place in Venturess.Īs for inspiration, I learned about steampunk while I was studying fairy tales as an English major in college. What inspired you to first write this steampunk twist on the classic Cinderella fairytale?īETSY:I suppose Venturess is technically gaslight fantasy because it includes magical elements, while pure steampunk is strictly science fiction. YABM: From the blurb, Venturess seems a little less steampunk and a lot more fantasy driven.


Mechanical armies and dark magic await them as they uncover devastating secrets about the past and fight for a real, lasting happily-ever-after for two troubled countries-and for themselves. Instead, she, Fin, and their friend Caro venture to the lush land of Faerie, where they seek to put an end to the bloody war their kingdom is waging. She’s free of her horrible step-family, running a successful business, and is uninterested in marrying the handsome prince, Fin. Young inventor Nicolette Lampton is living her own fairy tale happy ending.

5- Well written, gripping, interesting concept, AMAZING, and addictive.Ĥ- Pretty awesome but lacking that special something that takes it to level 5 status.Īmazon/ Barnes&Noble/ iBooks/ TBD/ Goodreads
