Sharon Gosling always wanted to be a writer. She started as an entertainment journalist, writing about television series such as Stargate and Battlestar Galactica. Her first novel was published under a pen name in 2010. Sharon and her husband live in a very small cottage in a very remote village in the north of England, surrounded by sheep-dotted fells. The village has its own vampire, although Sharon hasn't met it yet. The cat might have, but he seems to have been sworn to secrecy and won't say a thing.
...there are plenty of secrets held in reserve for the next book,
promising revelations both personal and epic in scale. Steampunk
fans will enjoy the action-packed, takes-itself-seriously
silliness.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
A bizarre blimplike aircraft, gold-plated robot soldiers, and
volcanic mountains of evil intent, as well as romance, intrigue,
and the promise of another Remy and Thaddeus adventure, combine to
satisfy the youngest steampunk readers.-- "Booklist Online"
Changing identities and a wishy-washy magician make for an
action-packed, mysterious, steampunk adventure. Gosling plays on
each character's trust, making the reader question the team of
allies. . . .games of cat and mouse speed the story forward,
allowing the reader to plunge face-first into the pages, and not
coming up for air until the story is finished. Gosling masterfully
intertwines themes of family and trust with the circus life at the
core.-- "Examiner.com"
Gosling's wonderful imagination sparks well-wrought action
sequences, and the developing relationship between the spunky Remy
and her young Sherlock Holmes-like copper will surely have young
readers coming back for more adventures.-- "Historical Novel
Society"
