The Colorado Sun did a great new interview with Alex and featured an excerpt from Murder on the Titania and Other Steam-Powered Adventures last week. Read the interview here and the excerpt here.

HUGE shout-out to Magdalena, Paul and James for supporting our Patreon this month! You can check it out here. Get a serialized novel by Catherine Lundoff at the $6 per month level, but really, any amount helps.

We also have a Ko-fi account if you want to support us and help us put more books, but a pledge seems like too much to deal with (or if you don’t like Patreon).

In other news, Unfinished Business is up for preorder at Amazon, Smashwords, iBooks and Kobo. Print coming very soon!

 

 

Really looking forward to publishing this next year! Check out the beautiful cover by Dian Huynh, with lettering by Terry Roy!
