Victorian Oddities and the Steampunk Fantasy StoryBundle!

February 18, 2023 By Kari Kilgore

Fantasy Steampunk Bundle

One of the frequent foundations in steampunk fiction—whether fantasy is included or not—is elements from the Victorian Era to go with the awesome gadgets and steam power and fashion.

One of my favorite things about the Victorian Era is how very strange it was.

Nowhere near as prim and proper as it seems on the surface.

You’ll find plenty of adventurous takes on steampunk, fantasy, and our fascinating inheritance from the Victorians in this StoryBundle. Read on for more about The Dream Thief and the other wonderful stories!

Holiday Spectacular: The Copper Valley Cocoa Conniption Competition

December 13, 2022 By Kari Kilgore

The Copper Valley Cocoa Conniption Competition cover

I’m delighted to share my second contribution to this year’s Holiday Spectacular from WMG Publishing with The Copper Valley Cocoa Conniption Competition. In case you want to celebrate along with me and everyone in the little Appalachian town of Copper Valley, December 13 is National Cocoa Day!

One important thing you’ll learn in this cozy mystery is hot cocoa isn’t the same as hot chocolate. For cocoa, you start with cocoa powder rather than melting chocolate. After that, the only limit to the flavors you create is your own imagination and the ingredients you have on hand.

Of course you want to make sure you know what’s in all the ingredients you work with. Leaving such things to chance can lead to…unexpected results.
