Steam Punk adventures by Jayne Fury

It’s takeover time! Thanks Liza for letting me wax on about my latest releases.

Salvete and well met. I’m Jayne Fury, a USAToday Bestselling Author of quirky speculative fiction with romantic elements. My books have a little pulp and a little romance. I write both ScifiRom and Urban Fantasy.

My two latest releases are a fun romp into fairytale retellings and set in a steampunk world. One is a novelette and the other is a short novel set in the Solar Flame universe. These romances are set in a scifi universe where corporate greed has taken on galactic proportions but despite that, or perhaps because of it, love finds a way.

Strong heroines. Smart men. Impossible odds.

I love steampunk. I’ve been into it for over twenty years and attended the first Steampunk convention in Seattle. I’m a bit obsessed and a little confused as to why I haven’t written in this genre before. But finally...

Corsets & Cogs 

The first of my releases this month is in the release Corsets and Cogs: A Steampunk Fiction Collection with 24 other stories. It’s the number one new release in Gaslamp Fantasy. My contribution, Royal Ruse, is a sweetly told story told in classic fairytale style… a steampunk fairy tale… in space.

Rose Wappington is a war-weary soldier out to seek her fortune in the wide wide universe. The planet of Qaomori beckons with the promise of a bright future. But first, she’ll need to solve the mystery of where the twelve princes disappear to at night.
If she fails, she’ll lose her head.

Royal Ruse is a whimsical role-reversal retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses fairy tale… plus airships, mad science, and mystery.

This limited-time anthology features tales of whimsy and wonder rife with gaslamp masquerades, steam-driven dirigibles, clockwork landscapes, gadgets and gears, and more.

Gaslight & Graves 

The second story is an expanded version of Royal Ruse. This story is novel length with lots more detail and romantic shenanigans. It’s called Midnight Dance.

This story ready for preorder in Gaslight and Graves for 99ß

“Here’s to the sunrise.” He smiled, lifting his glass in a toast. Her eyes flared wide, the clear clink of the pure crystal reverberating through the silence. “Sunrise? Why are we toasting to that?” He watched hungrily as she sipped on the pleasant dessert wine. He tossed back the drink in one gulp. “Because that’s the next time I plan on letting you out of my sight.”

Jayne Fury shares Prologue Freedom Bound and Unhinged Freedom Bound

Good day and or night, afternoon? Hi, I’m Jayne and I write about bodice ripping ninjas in space.

They rip their own bodices. 

I have been a pulp serial fan since reading my first Doc Savage novel. My tongue firmly planted in my cheek, I set out to write my own take and found Corrie Scott, the heroine of my first book in serial form. The Solar Flame series first book, Freedom Bound is a reflection of that boom-pow-kickass hero—but with boobs.

The Solar Flame universe is within a new genre and an old one at the same time: Speculative Fiction Romance.  Expect SciFi, Paranormal, Steampunk, and maybe even some Dieselpunk as the series goes on.

Why serial fiction? Why not? We are in a world of sound bites and no time for long luxurious baths with a book and a glass of wine. Well, sometimes. But mostly we only have time for stolen moments with a good story— a story that we want to pick up again and again. I hope that Freedom Bound achieves this by offering a bit of nostalgic serialized fiction with sexy times. I did say romance, right?

The second book in the Solar Flame universe is the full-length novella, Still Life.  It’s currently part of an anthology called Baby It’s Cold in Space and guess what? It takes place on an ice planet. Go figure.  Still Life comes out on its own in March. 

Every Friday there’s a new post

up on my blog at jaynefury.com for Femme Friday. Femme Friday is about strong females whether in fiction or real life. I often have guest bloggers who wax on about empowering books or just some supernova awesome heroines. 

See you there!

Jaynie

Freedom Bound: Prologue – Episode 1

Now Free at online retailers everywhere. See links below.

The klaxons screamed. Lights flashed an urgent red tattoo in time with each new bleating beat. The best place for Lieutenant Corrie Scott, and for everyone else, was in her fighter not the officers mess.  She kept her cool, each long stride propelled her through the corridor. Her mind fixed upon a destination. If she could get to her squad, they could defend the ship, and survive to fight another day.

“ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!”

Drakkin slag! That was fast.

They were boarding.

New problem. Rethink. React. Stay alive. If I don’t get to my unit I’ll be worse than dead. I’ll be hostage fodder. In that moment of realization, a quiet pall settled, pushing the chaos out of focus.

Corrie strode through the corridors, smashing herself against the side bulkheads as the damage crews sped through the center. Her hipbone felt something beneath it, a handle attached to the round hatch cover. Maintenance tube. Her ear against the hatch, she listened intently. Nothing? Good. They aren’t coming up through the tubes. Grabbing hold of the handle, she pulled the hatch open. The wave of nauseating stench hit her like a meteor.

She came close to emptying her stomach on the gangway grating.

“RED ALERT, ALL PERSONNEL! REPORT TO YOUR DUTY STATIONS! THIS IS CAPTAIN KORNWALL. ALL HANDS! SCRAMBLE FIGHTERS.”

About the Author

One must always be prepared.

Jayne Fury was raised in New York by a Boy Scout leader. She moved to the West Coast as soon as she could because she’s left handed and claustrophobic. Seriously, it makes sense. Ever sit next to a lefty in a restaurant? Jayne went to university in Rome where she developed her lifelong love of shoes. She has walked across Spain. Twice. Shoes. Preparedness. It’s all related. Right?

The author lives on her urban farm in the Pacific Northwest with cats, chickens, ukulele, all the yarn, and extremely tolerant husband.

Factoids:

• Star Trek garden gnomes sit on Jayne’s desk as a reminder to write or die. The gnome Gorn is especially convincing. 

• She is obsessed with colored pens. Obsessed.

Jayne Fury is a member of Broad Universe, a nonprofit international organization of women and men dedicated to celebrating and promoting the work of women writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror.

ANGELO 13 by ROSALIE REDD

Angelo is from Earth

Earth people have removed all emotions.

And clones of non-emotional humans are common.

If an emotion develops, the clones will be reprogrammed.

On Earth, women’s eggs are harvested soon after birth.

 (that's new!)

When Angelo is rescued by Elle, he begins to have feelings for her.

Eventually, he wins her trust, and she wins his heart.

But when her negotiations with a vile, untrustworthy partner goes bad, he offers himself to save her, her ship, and her brother.

Will love be his demise or the salvation of them all?

This is a short, eventful, densely packed love story with just the right amounts of danger, cleverness, betrayal, and success.  But most of all a fabulous HEA.

A fabulous tale! Loved it!
