Buttons, BEA and Steampunk

Happy Friday Everyone!  I'm actually writing today - working on my YA steampunk novel. I included a brief description in my April newsletter, but for those of you who aren't signed up for the newsletter yet (ahem...why not?)  here's what it's about:

 London 1895 - England has just declared war with Germany and Blackjack Bailey is a streetsmart fifteen year-old boy who manages to get himself invited to the prestigous Westgate Academy after fixing one of the defense shields above the Houses of Parliament.

He is searching for his father who has mysteriously disappeared, but discovers that all is not what it seems at Westgate.

An attractive girl becomes an unexpected ally and teams up with him to unravel the truth. The race is on to find his father and the mysterious machine that has disappeared with him, before Germany takes control of England.

Clockworks, airships, secret identities and a race against time.... oh, and did I mention spies and goggles? ;-)

What do you think? Something you'd like to read?

In other news, I am very excited to announce that 

I will be signing and giving away ARCs of THE FAERIE RING at BEA 

on Tuesday, May 24th at Table 12 from 2:30 - 3:30

If you're going to be at BEA, please stop by!! I'd love to say hello and give you an ARC! :-) 

And finally, I have some BUTTONS to give away!

 I took the picture with them next to a bookmark and postcard so you could see the size - they're pretty big. I'm not really sure how popular buttons are, but Kristi over at The Story Siren said she loves them, so I ordered up a few.  

If you want one - leave a comment. The first five comments will get a FAERIE RING button.

****I'm coming back on to say that I wasn't sure if anyone wanted buttons or not, but yes they do! Since you're all so nice to comment I will send buttons to anyone who comments (up to 25 people).  Thanks you guys! :-)  ****

And that's it for me today.  Back to writing!

Have a great weekend!
