"I was particularly captivated by Jo Graham's take on Cesare. He and Julia seem to recognise each other as similar predators barely leashed by their current stations in life."
A fascinating review of The Borgia Dove!

How wonderful to start the week with this amazing review of The Borgia Dove by @SMorrisAuthor ! She's a historian who's written several books about the Borgia family herself and I'm delighted that she thought I did them justice. Check it out here!

What a great review! (And I totally agree with the historical points.)
"the story becomes endlessly fascinating--fast paced, with danger and risk and heroism and villainy--until the very last page." - Author Sherwood Smith on The Borgia Dove. Read the full review here!

To celebrate launch day for my latest novel, Fallen, have some mood pics! On the left, a brief stop on the sea world of Safican; on the right, Hong Kong stands in for Callambhal Above.
ALT An unmade bed stands in a near-circular alcove, sunlight pouring in. Everything - walls, carpet, bedding - is in shades of cream.
ALT High-rise buildings are piled on high-rise buildings, creating an irregular wall broken by lit windows and dark shadows.
Launch day! So pleased to see this one out in the world.
Pealing bells for SFF legend Melissa Scott, whose mythic #spaceopera Fallen (sibling of acclaimed Finders) takes to the skies today! candlemarkandgleam.com/2023/… Come explore far-future universe-wide promises & dangers with us. #books #sciencefiction #myths @blueterraplane @eilidheln
