” A top fun comfort read.”~ Gail Carriger

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a dragon.

Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley has the good fortune to be in possession of the first English firedrake egg laid in a century. Or, at least, he was until some miscreant stole it. Mr. Darcy tracks the thief to Hertfordshire. Catching the thief, however, proves to be an entirely different kettle of brimstone, especially when he encounters fellow Dragon Keeper, Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourn.

Elizabeth Bennet’s deep connection to dragons and remarkable grasp of their lore make her the ideal companion for finding the egg. It’s too bad that from their introduction she finds Darcy arrogant, conceited, and selfishly disdainful of the feelings of others.

Time is running out for Darcy to win Elizabeth’s trust and recover the precious egg before it hatches, and the fragile peace between humans and dragons is lost forever.


Meryton meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight readers of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike.

Controlling Fire, Water, Earth and Air Would be more impressive if it paid the bills.

Journeyman Wright Rebecca Fuller has two problems, paying the bills and convincing the Wright Guild to take her seriously. Both of which are far more difficult with the recent death of her Master Full Wright father.

Despite having taught Rebecca mastery of all the Elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air, Morris Fuller did not tell her everything. And now the secrets he kept threaten to shake her world apart.

The Guild is no help, but maybe, just maybe, they aren’t the only recourse for a resourceful and determined wright.

A fascinating new world from the author of Jane Austen’s Dragons, perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Charlie Holmberg, AJ Lancaster and V. E. Schwab.!

Rebecca could control Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, so why was the rest of her life spinning out of control?

Finally awarded her rightful rank as Master Full Wright, Rebecca would just as soon get on with repairing the damage to her shop and return to normal life. But the Queen has gotten it in her craw that Rebecca should start a school for female Wrights—something beyond the Guild’s imagination, and therefore a threat to the world’s natural order.

But with orders from the Queen and a wealthy patron footing the bill, what choice has she but to become a school mistress?

As Guild Secretary, Master Full Wright David Enright’s hands are full. The Guild Master expects him to help identify students for Rebecca’s school, handle the disgruntled traditionalists, and marry Rebecca as soon as possible. But between Rebecca’s flame-tamer’s temper and the Guild’s hidebound elders, David can’t make headway on anything, even what he most wants for himself, pursuing Rebecca.

With the Guild divided about the legitimacy of female Wrights, the prospect of a school to train them turns the disgruntled Wrights desperate. The disenfranchised faction is ready to do anything to stop the school, to stop Rebecca, to stop anything that looks like change.

But since the Wrights face extinction if they don’t join the modern age, David and Rebecca have little choice but to use everything at their disposal to get them on the Wright path.

An exciting new gaslamp fantasy adventure from the author of Jane Austen’s Dragons perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Charlie Holmberg, AJ Lancaster and V. E. Schwab.

Not what he signed on for when he accepted his title as baronet.

Sir Walter Elliot’s arrival brings a different sort of war to Lyme when he demands his daughter Anne Wentworth resolve his latest crisis. But Anne and dragon Kellynch have far more serious matters to attend to as they discover yet another, unexpected battleground developing in the impending conflict.

Dragons behaving badly hardly describes the atrocities Anne discovers. Can Anne, Wentworth and Kellynch and their dragon Friends navigate a way through uncharted waters to avert a war that could devastate the entire kingdom?

A fresh new gas lamp fantasy adventure in the engrossingly intricate world of Jane Austen’s Dragons. Anne McCaffrey meets Jane Austen, a perfect mix for dragon lovers and regency-era fans alike.

Controlling Fire, Earth, Water, and Air with a simple touch would have been much more impressive if it paid the bills.

For nearly 200 years, the Wrights have controlled the Elements, shaping them to their will. But, the new era of industrialization threatens their extinction. Journeyman Wright Rebecca Fuller has more important things to worry about, though, like paying bills and keeping a roof over her head. Unfortunately, she inherited her father’s debts along with his shop. With the Guild limiting her prices, even a brisk business barely makes ends meet.

If only the Guild would consider her application for Mastery. But between having the audacity to be female and studying under the most unconventional Master in the Guild, her chances were as thin as Air.

Unfortunately for Guild Undersecretary David Enright, barrister, procedural maven, and all-around rule-follower, the Guild violated its own rules where Rebecca was concerned. With her irascible temper and unorthodox approach to working the Elements, she’s exactly what he wants most to avoid. Unfortunately, he can’t simply ignore her.

Rule-following aside, though, what she knows, what she can do, could be the key to saving the Wrights from extinction.

Audacious barely describes David’s strategy to right old wrongs. If Rebecca agrees, his plan could solve both their problems—or cost them everything.

An exciting new gaslamp fantasy adventure from the author of Jane Austen’s Dragons perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Charlie Holmberg, AJ Lancaster and V. E. Schwab.
