In October 2017 my 2nd Maddie Hatter Adventure, Gilded Gauge - based in part on Calgary Steampunks & especially Calgary parasol duelists although it was set in Gilded Age New York City - was launched at Owls Nest Books in Britannia Plaza SW, Calgary AB.
Under the first title & cover from Tyche Books (seen below), Gilded Gauge hit the Calgary Herald Bestseller list (twice), was nominated for the Prix Aurora for Canadian SFF, and won Alberta Book of the Year from the Book Publishers Association of Alberta.
I've had 4 further books published since then in 2 series (1 further Maddie Hatter book to date, Timely Taffeta, & 3 FALLS Mystery novels in my award-winning women's wilderness suspense series from Dundurn Press, under the pen name J.E. Barnard)
Now Gilded Gauge is back on the shelves with a cool new cover & also available in #KindleUnlimited for the first time.

Foiling the kidnapping of an industrial heiress lands Maddie an undercover bodyguard job in Gilded Age NYC.
As rival powers scheme to steal the family’s fabulous gauge, a man from Maddie’s murky past arrives as a feted guest.
Is he an ally, an enemy, or the mastermind behind the whole dastardly plot?
“Spirited heroines, secret identities, engaging orphans, dueling parasols & gadgets galore!”
