Here’s the cover for the Vitruvian Mask. What do you think?

The Vitruvian Mask, the full sequel to the Archimedean Heart is FINALLY done. As in ready to publish. <shocked face>
With many thanks to my extremely talented editor AJ Sikes and my kind and inspirational readers, Dover Whitecliff and Sharon Cathcart.

Here’s what it’s about:

The electric lights of Paris have been extinguished.
1882. The Naturalist revolution is over. Adelaide, once Doctor-Scientist for the old queen of France, was on the losing side. Now she’s hiding from the new king’s Police Sécrète.
Pregnant and alone, she seeks refuge in a Parisian hospital but things have changed there too. What was once a cathedral of Science is now a bastion of ignorance and superstition.
The battlefield veterans whose Augmented prosthetics she once created are now shunned by the new regime and come to the hospital for her help. But her nemesis and the father of her child has returned to France and threatens to reveal her to the authorities.
Can Adelaide repair her Augmented patients without losing her freedom … or her life?
The Vitruvian Mask continues the story of Adelaide Coumain, the Roboticist of Versailles, that began in The Archimedean Heart.

Coming soon: the cover reveal. Then a special giveaway for my subscribers.
