Roe Bushey Reviews BENEATH A FEARFUL MOON

Wow! BENEATH A FEARFUL MOON received a very nice five-star review over the weekend.

Not sure about the braces, though!
As a fan of steampunk, it’s very humbling to hear that someone new to the genre not only picked your book, but found it compelling enough to read more of the same:

This was my first steampunk book and it won't be my last. The character of Aubrey Hartman was engaging, and likable without being a pollyanna. She also has some depth to her character which was teased at in this novella and I'm hoping that in future books we learn more about here time in the Cimarron. The inclusion of Fae into a Victorian-esque setting works extraordinarily well thanks in no small part to the author's style which I can best describe as descriptive minimalist - which is a good thing and points to a writer who chooses words carefully to maximize their impact. Beneath a Fearful Moon was the perfect introduction to a genre rich with colorful aesthetics and more colorful characters. I cannot wait to return.

 Thank you very much Rosaire Bushey!

While we may get more background about Aubrey’s time in the war (on the Cimarron Fields) there probably won’t be a full book about it. One such story already exists: Grenadiers and Dragon’s Fire was published in the anthology Gears, Gadgets & Steam (Tinkered Tales Book 1).

  1. The braces look pretty steampunky to me! She better be careful not to shoot herself in the forehead, though.
