In other steampunk romance news, author Langley Hyde has a forthcoming m/m steampunk romance called HIGHFELL GRIMOIRES (Blind Eye Books). It will release in May 2014. In the meantime, enjoy the cover and blurb:
Born to privilege, gifted in languages and spells, Neil Franklin has planned his brilliant future—from academic accolades to a proper marriage—and is intent upon upholding his family name and honor. The sudden death of his parents shatters all of that, leaving Neil and his younger sister beggared and orphaned.
When Neil’s estranged uncle offers
him a bargain that will save him and his sister from debtor’s prison or exile,
Neil eagerly agrees. Handing over the family grimoire as collateral for their
debt, Neil devotes himself to working as a teacher for wayward youths at a
charity school high in the clouds.
But Highfell Hall is not the charity
Neil imagines it to be and the young men there aren’t training for the dull
lives of city clerks. Amidst the roaring engines and within the icy stone
halls, machinations and curious devices are at work. And one man, the rough and
enigmatic Leofa, holds the key to the desire that Neil has fled from all his
life and a magic as dangerous as treason.
Joyfully yours,
Heather
