The lovely publicity team at Orbit has been plotting for months, and I have been a very good little author beast and held my typing on the subject but today we go live.
Today you can go play with the Alexia Tarabotti Dress-Up Doll! (Flash and illustration by the talented Sarah Vaughn.)
Before you ask, Gentle Reader, I was indeed consulted. All of the dresses are as described in the book. I made up a whole dossier on Alexia and her appearance, the outfits she wears in Soulless, proper Victorian underpinnings for the 1870s, and possible backgrounds. It was like being a spy on my own character. So please, go play, have fun, and spread the word!
