Etiquette & Espionage - FREE PREVIEW by Gail Carriger

It's been mulling around in my head and some of you know the secret inspiration behind it. Ok, so this one is a MG contemporary set in my hometown and I'm all kinds of excited about it. I can't disclose much about this one, but I'm 40% done with my second round of edits, and will soon be looking for readers!Īnd in the meantime, you can listen to: It would appeal to fans of fantasy ala Shannon Hale’s GOOSE GIRL Series, but in world laced with steampunk and whimsy like that found in Gail Carriger’s ETIQUETTE & ESPIONAGE.Īlso. The only question is if she can catch the culprits before they catch her.įIREGIRL, complete at 73,000 words, is an Upper Middle Grade Fantasy set in a Scandinavian Steampunk world.

But when a series of suspicious fires rages across Lundberg, tracking down the culprits will bring her closer to danger and closer to the truth about her own history than she’s ever known. This gives her an edge in local secret-selling and a witness to many crimes. More precisely, she can speak to the objects she burns: wood, wax, and candlewicks. She’s only had two clues as to who she really is: her name, and her unique talent: Left on the doorstep of Graystings Academy when she was just a few months old, she was begrudgingly raised by the Headmistress and trained as a maidservant. Armed with her casebook, a satchel full of candles, and her cogbeetle Bjarnabus, she’s just one case away from cracking the ultimate mystery: her own. It’s not her fault no one realizes it yet. I've written several phonics-based readers designed for Kindy and Year One students.ġ2-year-old Antigony Nonsdotter is Lundberg’s top detektive.

I also post an occassional Book Recommendation. I read and write books for Young Adults and Children! I have a few works in progress at the moment!
