To London, With Love by Dena Garson
Genre Steampunk Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
After her brother is nearly killed while bringing sensitive information to his superiors, Margaret “Maggie” Ingleton takes it upon herself to complete his mission. All she has to do is deliver a letter to London. How hard can it be? Little does she realize that she’ll be risking not only her life, but that of the only man she’s ever loved.
When Colin Stanbury makes a routine delivery to his home city he never expects to pick up a stowaway. Maggie has always been a heady mix of proper lady and imp so finding her aboard his airship can only mean trouble. Despite Maggie’s claim that she needs to go to London to help a friend in need, he suspects she’s up to something. Yet he can’t help playing the gallant hero to her damsel in distress.QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
I write in more than one subgenre of romance (paranormal, fantasy, scifi, steampunk, contemporary), but I only write romances.
How do you come up with ideas?
I usually see a scene in my head and then have to figure out who my characters are, what they are doing in that scene, and how they got to that point.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?
Outlining the story. If I can get that down then all the details fall into place easier.
When did you write your first book?
I started writing seriously after my second son was born, so about 14 years ago. Getting serious meant studying the publishing industry, taking writing workshops, and joining a writers group.FUN

London Calling by Dena Garson, Sorcha Mowbray, et al. @DenaGarson #RLFblog #steampunk #romance
Welcome Dena Garson author of Her Clockwork Heart, a new Steampunk Romance.
Why did you write this book?
I love the steampunk culture. I’ve been dying to write a story in that setting for years so when the call for submissions came out I jumped at the chance.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance – paranormal, sci-fi, historical, fantasy – I love it all!
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
That’s kind of like picking a favorite child! Doctor Who is probably the longest living fictional character in my mind.
What are you working on at the moment?
A rock star romance (contemporary) and plotting a follow up story to Ghostly Persuasion for the next volume of Emerald Isle Enchantment.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I have two releases in October – Her Clockwork Heart is part of the London Calling Anthology, and Vordol’s Vow is part of the Cosmic Cabaret Anthology.
Please tell us about your latest book.
