The Blackfriars Courant is a delightful bit of Victorian yellow journalism, at its very best. Editor in Chief, Penelope Dreadfulle, snagged up some delightful comments for this interview. It is possibly the most innovative "review" The Volcano Lady and The Gaslight Adventures of Tom Turner has ever received. http://blackfriarscourant.wordpress.com/2014/10/12/exclusive-interview-with-tom-turner-scoundrel-or-hero/

The Volcano Lady Series will be included in the upcoming Steampunk Extravaganza!

Topics include blocks an author encounters and opinions on the massive changes we see in the publishing industry today.
