About The Book

It’s 1880 and the civil war is a distant memory. Octavian Rillieux lost his arm in the war, but he and his assistant, Benjamin Ridley, have invented mechanical arms that are ten times better than his real arm ever was. Now, the two are out to capture the heinous villain who is kidnapping and killing women from the upper crust of New Orleans’ society. When this villain runs off with Octavian’s love, Raine L’Eveque, Octavian begins a manhunt that will end in either his own death, or the capture of the killer. The Amazing Mechanical Arm of Octavian Rilliuex has everything; amazing inventions, zombies, an insane asylum and a super hero. Nonstop action, humor and horror fill this fast-paced steampunk thriller. Jump on board for the ride of your life.

About The Author

I always loved reading so it seemed natural to write. I became a reporter where I learned a lot about people, to be a better writer and to edit my own material. I attended writers’ conferences where I honed my novel writing skills. I’ve lived all over the world, worn many hats, been many different people and learned a lot of crazy skills. Horses were always my passion. I worked as a groom and a handler before I became a reporter. I now live in the country with four dogs and my husband. It’s quiet and I can paint and write to my heart’s content.
