I am delighted to announce the release of Twelve Hours Later. Two of my stories appear here, “In the Midnight Hour” and “A Demon in the Noonday Sun.” They are my first venture into the wonderful world of steampunk. Instead of Victorian England, my stories are set in Kyoto, Japan. The book blurb summarizes the plots nicely:
A devoted nursemaid braves mythical Japanese spirits to save a little girl’s life, only to bring down the wrath of a demon on the child’s father.
Kiyomizudera, the Pure Water Temple, which encompasses Otowa Falls. This is the primary setting for both of my stories.
