Monthly Author Check-In, The Beacon Campaigns, The Lady of Souls

Progress Report

In the middle of Final Edits. Finished pile on the right, still to come on the left. (Behind it you can see the tome that is the first draft, plus a handful of layout test pages from print formatting work.) I’m scheduled to have it all wrapped up on Friday, and then I turn my attention to the last items on my pre-publishing checklist—which, now that I am looking at it, um, are mostly finish the Final Edits.

Announcements, The Beacon Campaigns, The Lady of Souls

Introducing: The Lady of Souls

---

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you now my debut novel.

The Lady of Souls is the first book of the Mannly-Fellows series: a 19th-century second-world fantasy saga. Do you like adventure? Steam trains? Diverse casts, with strong roles for women and minorities? Haunted pickle jars? The Lady of Souls balances humor with darkness, adventure with personal growth.

You can read the official description here, and the first chapter here.
