Breaking news
The Prudential Light, Cry Havoc Book Four, is up for pre-order, with a launch date around mid-December. It is currently with the proofreader, so close!
Blurb for The Prudential Light
Aunt Prudence Wainwright, famously daunting dragon lady of the Hardcastle family, has set herself to writing her memoirs. There will be plenty in these pages to astonish her relations: adventures, abandonment, heartbreak, secret loves and dangers and the family’s magical gifts running through her veins. But with new children, marriage proposals, battles with rogue magicians, and the very past she is recalling bursting back into her life in startling ways, how will she ever find the time to finish them!
Currently pre-orders are available at Amazon and Apple Books. I’ll update the preorders as I get them sorted.

Blurb for Amber Rose
A book of manners, magic and mayhem…and, perhaps, a tad too many scones
All Ambrose Fulton wants is to enjoy his idyllic life at Hatfield, helping his wife Milly raise their little son, tolerating Aunt Prudence and entertaining their friends.
What he gets is a ferocious assault from a violet-eyed automaton that devastates the estate and makes off with his enchanted clockwork arm, brutally ripped from his shoulder. To the rescue, barely in time to save his life, come friends Edward Huntington, gentleman magician, and his wife, the monster-slayer Jemima.
Whoever sent the machine can only have wanted one thing: to glean the secrets of Huntington’s magical mechanical designs for purposes clearly nefarious. Now as well as wrangling an anxious innkeeper, a fake heir, interfering magistrates, odd magicians and some thoroughly unexpected visitors, they must uncover their mysterious enemy’s identity and stop them or who knows what evil ends Huntington’s inventions will be put to?
Robot Hearts is out now. I’ll be putting the buy links up later today or tomorrow. It will be available in print too. Buy links here.

Nine science fiction stories about robots!
Feminist twists, sentimental journeys, nostalgia and an Australian icon feature in this collection of short stories.
These tales draw from an imagined past, with ‘Be Still My Beating Clockwork Heart’. They delve into Australian icons with Clancy of the Overflow recast in space with robot sheep in ‘Clancy’. These stories dabble in the life of an augmented soldier in ‘The Cleansing’, an immortal woman and her android bodyguard in ‘Bodily Control’ and robot baby-sitters in ‘Crash Baby’ and ‘Robot Heart.’
A future where technology is entwined with human lives, such as an AI boyfriend in ‘Bee Friend’, or deep technology integration in ‘Winnie’s Remedial Reading and Writing Class’ and the ultimate twist in ‘The Discontented Wife’.
Bring out the cold soldiers who lie in frozen sleep.
Do not wake them nor let their tranquil faces beguile.
They are purveyors of death.
They must burn!
What soldiers? Colony Five has been proudly peaceful since before living memory.
The cryptic new orders make no sense to Deleen Milo… until she sees the burning bodies in the stasis sarcophagi. She tries to uncover the truth behind the mysterious soldiers, only to become adrift in a colony suddenly full of secrets and threats. Who wants the soldiers destroyed and the colony defenceless?
Pursued into hiding, Deleen manages to revive Rik Chesson, a Cold Soldier trying to understand the new world waiting for him after 134 years of cryosleep. Deleen has never trusted easily, and Rik’s nanotech-infused posthuman form sets her nerves on edge. But they are the only ones who can rescue the surviving Cold Soldiers and defend the colony against a deadly new threat. They have to work together, and as they begin to truly know one another Deleen realises that however Rik’s body may have changed, the man inside might just be one she can love…
