September 2021
Welcome to my third Book Nook! Today I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Elizabeth Chatsworth, author of The Brass Queen, an incredible steam-punk fantasy with the best dialogue and metaphors I’ve read in a while. One of my favourite lines being: I do so love a story well told, and if you agree with that sentiment, you will love this book!
So boil the kettle and settle in for this interview where Chatsworth and I discuss narrative voice and all things steampunk.

The Brass Queen
She knows a liar when she sees one. He knows a fraud when he meets one.
In a steam-powered world, Miss Constance Haltwhistle is the last in a line of blue-blooded rogues. Selling firearms under her alias, the “Brass Queen,” she has kept her baronial estate’s coffers full. But when US spy J. F. Trusdale saves her from assassins, she’s pulled into a search for a scientist with an invisibility serum. As royal foes create an invisible army to start a global war, Constance and Trusdale must learn to trust each other. If they don’t, the world as they know it will disappear before their eyes.
If you like the Parasol Protectorate or the Invisible Library series, you’ll love this gaslamp fantasy—a rambunctious romantic romp that will have you both laughing out loud and wishing you owned all of Miss Haltwhistle’s armaments.

Hey lovely! That is amazing!! If you bought the fairytales book, that should have arrived by now so let me know and we can figure something out. If you bought the Contest of Queens, you preordered it (it’s not out yet ☺️) so it will be shipped to you January 18th and you should get it before February!
I think they charge your card upon delivery? But double check your bank statements, they may also charge your card upon purchase?
