An hilarious, never before published account of a trip to the 1802
Preston Guild from a young man not afraid to have a good time and
express his opinions. Lord Linton shows childlike wonder at the
circus feats, gossips about the fashionable people and exaggerates
wildly! Found in the archives at Traquair House and illustrated
with images from the collections of the Harris Museum & Art
Gallery, Preston, this diary is both a remarkable historical
document and a thoroughly enjoyable read. Published to celebrate
Preston Guild 2012.
A Dark Heart Book Two in The Elders and Welders Chronicles London,
1897: Lady Christiana Harker once committed a grave sin against her
kind when she saved Inspector Elijah Drexler's life by turning him
into a vampire. Christiana's bold act has only driven Elijah deeper
into an impenetrable darkness, fueled by morphine, nightmares, and
a constant thirst for blood. Elijah has no room left in his heart
for anything but his quest for vengeance against his childhood
tormentor, a quest that he fully expects to end with his own death.
But when the mysterious Duke of Brightlingsea requests Elijah's
help in locating a doomsday device that could level half of London,
Elijah's personal vendetta becomes entangled with a secret war
being waged among the immortal Elders. Just when Christiana finally
accepts that her long-held love for the Inspector will forever be
unrequited, however, a catastrophe brings them together, forcing
Elijah to finally confront his feelings for Christiana. But will
Christiana's love be strong enough to weather the terrible truths
buried deep in Elijah's past? And will Elijah find the strength of
will to finally cast off his demons and let love into his dark
heart? This Victorian steampunk romance is recommended for adult
audiences.
Prince of Hearts: A Victorian Steampunk Romance London: 1896.
Airships rule the skies, and automatons run the tracks at Ascot.
Since the Great Exhibition of 1851, Her Majesty's Empire has been
powered by the Steam Revolution and Welding science. It is a time
of glorious innovation and dangerous civil unrest. But Miss Aline
Finch, prim, plain career girl, has more important things on her
mind than the state of the Empire. After her employer, the handsome
but insufferable criminologist, Professor Romanov, hares off for
parts unknown in a slightly-illegal dirigible, stranding her in
France, she has finally had enough. In a fit of pique, she decides
to marry her long-time and very proper suitor, quitting Romanov for
good. The last thing the Professor expects to come home to is his
secretary's mutiny. Finch's timing couldn't be any more
inconvenient, for a serial murderer from Romanov's past has set his
sights on her. Romanov must keep her close if he has any chance of
protecting her life - and the dangerous secrets the murderer
threatens to expose. For the Professor is much, much more than he
seems, and the secrets that he keeps are centuries old - and hidden
deep in his heart. When the Professor discovers Finch is to wed,
however, he is forced to confront the truth of the matter: he
doesn't just want his secretary back to protect her. He wants her
in his bed. Forever. Aline fights Romanov's seduction, but she's no
match for her own unruly desires, or the truth of her own heart.
But when the Professor's true identity is exposed, destroying the
very foundations of Aline's conception of reality, will the
Professor lose her forever? Or will the murderer succeed in his
evil plot to destroy them both before they can find their happy
ending? Warning: this sensual romance will put the steam in
steampunk.

Beside the spring were a number of Little Bear's old friends
dressed in green satin coats, who were playing leapfrog. They asked
Little Bear to play with them, and soon he was showing the frogs
what long leaps he could make. And then, in a little while, many
baby rabbits came and joined in the fun. The next that Little Bear
knew, he was chasing baby rabbits over the rocks and catching nuts
that the squirrels threw to him from the tree tops and having a
joyful playtime.
