Books
My current work is styled in the Victorian aesthetic of the steampunk genre, and is set in the mid-Victorian period. The Mechanical Maestro is the first book in a series following the adventures of genius inventors, the Abernathy family, and their sophisticated automata.
The Mechanical Maestro
London, 1857.
Brothers George and Douglas Abernathy are clockmakers who are barely scraping a living in their family’s shop. They are also brilliant inventors with a sideline building custom-built androids and other technology ahead of its time...
The Christmas Ball
This festive story is set two years after the events of The Mechanical Maestro, and is a taster of the characters you'll meet in the next book in the series (although the events of Book 2 take place prior to this story).
