Wow! In one day, we are less than $1000 from the original publishing goal (and therefore much closer to reaching my stretch goal! Thank you so much to everyone who has backed us so far!
I wanted to go ahead and share some story summaries, links to previews and blog posts from some of the authors.
Danielle Ackley- McPhail: Looking Back - If necessity is the mother of invention, then desperation is its sire. Lady Clara is left with stewardship of her lost cousin's inheritance and the uncertainty of her own fate. She employs the dubious assistance of an American inventor to find her cousin before all is lost, only neither could have anticipated the unique nature of their...success.
