A Steampunk Fable & a Giveaway!

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson

Today, my new Steampunk novel is free on kindle. 

Here's what readers are saying:

"A superb retelling of Robin Hood--steampunk style! Edie brings the beloved characters to life in a whole new way that will keep readers feverishly turning the pages to find out what happens next. I can't wait for the next in the series!"

"A steampunk fable at its finest. Melson is a master craftsman in her action-packed spin with Maid Marion and Robin Hood at the helm."

"Edie Melson's steampunk adventure kept me turning pages long after I should have called my lady's maid to help me prepare for dinner. There wasn't enough tea in all of England to settle my nerves as Marion and Robin first matched wits with each other and then joined forces to stop a horrific evil from taking over the land. Maiden of Iron is a must-read for fans of the steampunk genre and a perfect first foray for those new to it."

Maiden of Iron

Marion Ravenswood’s brother is killed in a duel fighting for her honor. Their father, the Engineering Guildmaster, withdraws and refuses to speak with anyone.

Marion must now save the guild’s children and reclaim the family honor. She dons the persona of the Maiden of Iron to right wrongs not of her making.

But will a chance encounter with the prince of thieves be an answered prayer, or will he just steal her heart and abandon them all?

Sandal-ready Feet & Walking in Faith

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson

How beautiful are the feet of the one who brings good news…Isaiah 52:7

Thoughts tend to drift toward leisure activities, knowing that “back to school” season is just around the corner.
