What stays and what goes? The question when it comes to fantasy set in a real place. Clothing, food, mores, prejudices stayed. Check the audiobook! Great voices!

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 3 LIBRARY OF THE DAMNED #magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk #Diversity Researching into the kabbalah, Gehenna, and fallen angels was extremely interesting and I scooped it up for this series and particularly this last book.

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 3 LIBRARY OF THE DAMNED #magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk #Diversity Fave title. Last book in trilogy. Leo journeys to Gehenna with his friends to rescue his father he thought died saving his life, but he's been trapped there instead.

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 2 CLOCKWORK GYPSY #magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk #Diversity I have to say that this is one of my all-time favorite books. It was loads of fun to write the action--war between goblins/fairies, a train wreck, clockwork man, Leo's falling in ❤️

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 2 CLOCKWORK GYPSY #magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk #Diversity Besides Jewish daemons & Romani characters, there is also Special Inspector Mingli Zhao. Her past is initially secret but soon gets revealed, even to her! Leo is besotted. #romance

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 2 CLOCKWORK GYPSY #magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk My goblins are nasty buggers plotting to get rid of all humans and take their gold. Loads of fun writing these creatures. And fairies! Not the butterfly-winged lovelies, but more like insects.

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 2 CLOCKWORK GYPSY #magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk The Necropolis Railway, a real thing in the 1890s, part of the plot. Churchyards were full in London, so they shipped the body and mourners outside of London for burial. See Comments for more

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 2 CLOCKWORK GYPSY #magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk Folks wonder why you need research for a fantasy. But that's part of world-building. You lay the foundation in fact, and then the rest becomes more believable. That's the power of research.

#WeeklySpotlight EnchanterChronicles 2 CLOCKWORK GYPSY
#magic #humor #booksky #readersky #gaslamp/steampunk The word 'gypsy' can be problematic. I interviewed 2 Romanis and they explained to me that the name can be a slur to some/ proud moniker for others, just as 'Indian' is to Native Americans.
