(Clarion Books, May 2010)
The first thing one notices about The Boneshaker is its eye-catching cover art. It’s vibrant, intricate, and unusual. It immediately draws the reader in. As the story unfolds, readers will be pulled back to that cover more than once as they try to locate the figures they read about.
This is a tale of unusual elements. It mixes steampunk and magical realism. For those that are not familiar with steampunk, it is a subgenre of science fiction and speculative fiction. The Boneshaker, and stories that utilize such historical fantasy are set in the Victorian era and incorporate technology that is not common to that time in history.
