MotAE Updates
I’m thinking about adding a podcast audio version to Murder on the Aerial Express.
I enjoy reading to people, but this addition to the project would cost me more than time. So tell me:

Unlocked: An Exclusive Short Story
Learn how Isabelle and Pippa became best friends — and how the aristocrat learned to pick locks.
Lady Isabelle only intended one of these outcomes (hint: it's the one that would give her after-hours lab access). But sometimes friends come into our lives despite our efforts, not because of them.
An exclusive short story. You can get the flipbook by referring friends through the Murder on the Aerial Express referral program.

Random Reading Recommendation
Because good books deserve to be shared.
Each month, I’ll mention a book that’s on my mind. Maybe I read it recently. Maybe it clawed its way to the top of my mind. (This is not an advertisement.)
The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater.
This was a new-to-me author. (I’ve since read her backlist. It’s good, but this is far and away her best.)
It’s a gothic fairytale Jane Eyre. There’s mystery, romance, strong writing, and a just-one-more-page drive to the narrative.
The faeries of Witchwood Manor have stolen its young lord. His governess intends to steal him back.
