Praise for Chasing the Star Garden:
"Mere words don't seem adequate to explain how truly brilliant this story is,"- My Book Addiction
"While Chasing the Star Garden will certainly engage the Steampunk connoisseurs with its gadgetry and elegance, it's the intense attention paid to each characters' personal importance to the overall story that makes it a great adventure . . . Chasing the Star Garden is a treasure hunt of the highest order. Lily Stargazer is easy to embrace as she undoubtedly has a little of each of us in her. Her adventure is one for the ages,"- Colossal Pop
"The author paints a vivid portrait of Venice, with its palazzi, jewel-coloured waters, masks, and gondolas. Venice truly comes to life as well as the other destinations visited in the course of following the mystery around the kaleidoscope. It is, indeed, a feast for the senses," - Torre de Babel
"One of my favorite things about this book is the world building. It is amazing. I could easily envision the airships, the airship towers, sky pirates, and the elaborate dress and contraptions of this steampunk fantasy. I absolutely loved it!" - Gin's Book Notes
Novel Blurb:
A sabotaged airship.
A recovering opium addict.
With the 1824 British airship qualifying race only
weeks away, Lily Stargazer is at the top of her game. She’s racing like a pro,
truly in love, and living clean. But on one ill-omened day, everything
changes.
Pulled head-long into the ancient secrets of the
realm, Lily soon finds herself embroiled in Celtic mysteries and fairy lore.
And she’s not quite sure how she got there, or even if she wants to be
involved. But Lily soon finds herself chasing the spirit of the realm while
putting her own ghosts to rest. And only accepting the truth--about her heart
and her country--can save her.
