Revisiting Molly and Edo

We loved writing this book. These two characters came to us while we worked on Mechanic’s Mate and insisted we tell their story. We had so much fun with this city girl, researching what was popular in the diesel era. Events, cars, recipes, dating rules, we wanted to know all the things. It was the bee’s knees play even more with the diesel slang dictionary as well.

Working on our second book was actually a bit easier because we learned so much about writing as we completed the first. We still certainly drove our editor crazy with echoes, ellipses, and making Molly too stupid to live (TSTL) at one point. Quite proud to say that this book actually won a prism award in the steampunk category (because dieselpunk unfortunately isn’t a category).

Again, we truly loved the original cover of this book. We had more input and sent this model’s photoshoot as an inspiration and loved the final. We chose to keep a picture of the same model from the same shoot but with a pose similar to the other two (so far) of the series. She’s so cute and so Molly.

and the back blurb:

Born with a special gift, Molly could help others but existed between two worlds--undetectable by one and not fully part of the other. Usually choosing not to interfere in other folks lives, she never employed her abilities to their greatest potential. When the leader of the Animal Gang learns the truth of her skills, Molly’s simple life as a baker in her family’s shop is threatened. Could the Blue Wolf enforcer she’d been pining over help her escape and embrace her gifts . . . or is she just putting his life in danger?

Edo’s entire life had been one exception after another, never the norm on any path his life leads him. Using an ability he sees as mundane, he meets the beautiful baker while on a mission for his alpha. As she is hunted by the rogue gang she entrusts her secrets and her heart to him. But can he protect her in the diesel city and still serve his alpha and pack?

Preorder is up now and will be out on the 13th, with paperback to follow shortly thereafter.
