"Wickedly funny ."
~ Angie Fox, New York Times Bestselling author
The Parasol Protectorate books are comedies of manners set in Victorian London: full of vampires, dirigibles, and tea. They are Jane Austen doing urban fantasy meets PG Wodehouse doing steampunk.
Soulless came out Oct. 2009 from Orbit US to shock and acclaim. Changeless (March 2010), Blameless (Sept. 2010), Heartless (July 2011), and Timeless (March 1, 2012) all hit the New York Times Bestseller list. Buy The Parasol Protectorate series online or from your local brick & mortar. If you would like a signed copy, you can order one from Borderlands Books.
