Attention: Fellow Steampunkers We have A new Author in our midst! WELCOME KADY CROSS!!

I first discovered Kady Cross on the Nook looking for free ebooks and came across this short story called 'The Strange Case of Finley Jayne'  the first thing that intrigued me about this ebook (low an behold) was the cover. I try not to judge books by their covers but sometimes you just can't help it! You know when you see something and you can just tell that it's going to be great? Well, that's what happened here. 'The Strange Case of Finley Jayne' is actually a Prequel to 'The Girl in the Steel Corset' which just recently came out. The covers of both are posted below with the Synopsis. (weird word always thought so. (laughs to self))





Finley Jayne knows she's not 'normal'. Normal girls don't lose time, or have something inside them that makes them capable of remarkably violent things. Her behavior has already cost her one job, so when she's offered the lofty position of companion to Phoebe, a debutante recently engaged to Lord Vincent, she accepts, despite having no experience. Lord Vincent is a man of science with his automatons and inventions, but Finley is suspicious of his motives where Phoebe is concerned. She will do anything to protect her new friend, but what she discovers is even more monstrous than anything she could have imagined…

(Oooo I just loved it! Not that I'm trying to influence your opinion cause that would be totally wrong of me ;) )




 In 1897 England, sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne has no one…except the "thing" inside her.
When a young lord tries to take advantage of Finley, she fights back. And wins. But no normal Victorian girl has a darker side that makes her capable of knocking out a full-grown man with one punch….
Only Griffin King sees the magical darkness inside her that says she's special, says she's one of them. The orphaned duke takes her in from the gaslit streets against the wishes of his band of misfits: Emily, who has her own special abilities and an unrequited love for Sam, who is part robot; and Jasper, an American cowboy with a shadowy secret.
Griffin's investigating a criminal called The Machinist, the mastermind behind several recent crimes by automatons. Finley thinks she can help—and finally be a part of something, finally fit in.
But The Machinist wants to tear Griff's little company of strays apart, and it isn't long before trust is tested on all sides. At least Finley knows whose side she's on—even if it seems no one believes her.

(Can't wait to read! heehee mental note: find way to earn monaay $$)

I will try and see if I can possibly interview Kady Cross but that might be hard to do.
