Wondering what order to read my books?
Each story stands by itself and has its own hero and heroine, meaning you can start wherever you want. (There are no cliffhangers.)
Not good enough? The Elemental Steampunk Chronicles are longer stories (Books 1-4). Books 1 & 2 involve two sisters… but they don’t appear much, if at all, in each other’s stories. Book 3 remains within the same world, but moves north to Scotland. Book 4 brings a character from book 3 to London and characters from book 1 make a reappearence and events in the Elemental Steampunk Tales are referenced.
Three independent, yet still connected Elemental Steampunk Stories (The Tin Rose, Kraken and Canals, Rust and Steam) concern characters associated with these longer stories. Characters are sometimes referenced but, with a tiny exception, do not reappear.
A Trace of Copper, In Pursuit of Dragons, A Reflection of Shadows, A Snowflake at Midnight, A Ghost in Amber, A Whisper of Bone, and Flight of the Scarab are also set in the same world and are loosely connected. These somewhat shorter books are the Elemental Steampunk Tales.
I’ve suggested a reading order, but also given you the publication order. I’ve also listed when each book takes place on a calendar timeline. Choose whatever order suits you best!
Hope this helps!
