A Steampunk Hero
This is Leonidas “Leo” Sinclair, and here’s a mock-up of the ebook he’s featured in:
Since Monday is a holiday, I’ll get a chance to upload the excerpts for several other books, such as OFF WORLD, The Queen of Comedy, Miss Brighton’s School for Exceptional Young Ladies and perhaps one more that my daughter and I are editing the complete ebooks for.

Finally . . . HEAVEN
This book was supposed to be out last year, but there was a secondary romance in the book that needed a bit more work. So I held off until just the right scenes came to mind, and putting the couple together didn’t seem so improbable.
Just for fun, I thought I’d cast the movie of this book:
For Josh Duval, the wounded Marine, I’d cast Hayden Christensen:
For the part of Marko, I’d like to see Mike Epps in the role:
I’d cast an unknown actress in the part of Nevaeh. An excerpt of the novel can be found here

Is the Historical Romance genre in trouble?
There’s an interesting discussion going on at Dear Author, regarding the woeful state of the Historical Romance genre. Here’s the link:
http://dearauthor.com/features/letters-of-opinion/we-should-let-the-historical-genre-die/
Regencies appear to be the only historical romances major publishers are promoting.
But only a handful of authors are able to profit doing Regencies, so where does that leave authors who wish to write of the past, but not in the Regency time period?
Well, I don’t have the answer to that. All I know is I’m readying a couple of books that are definitely historicals, but not so much historical romance, though loving couples are part of the storyline. One is GAIJIN. The other is an era spanning epic called The Queen of Comedy, which tells the tale of a legendary female comedian during the 1930s and 40s, and her less than successful nephew who played a hip, wisecracking manservant on TV during the 1960s.
JUKEBOX Volume One is a YA Historical, set during the 1960s.
