Timepiece Flash Giveaway!

For today only, we’re having a flash giveaway of Heather Albano’s thrilling steampunk time-travel adventure, Timepiece!

This rollercoaster thriller of a novel combines Jane Austen romance with Mary Shelley monstrous horror and then adds dystopian time-travel a la H.G. Wells! The first novel in the Keeping Time trilogy, Timepiece takes all of these very different elements and combines them in an exciting, romantic, fun romp.

A game designer as well as an author, Heather Albano mixes Regency romance, gothic horror, science fiction, sly humor, dystopian steampunk, and military history to create a unique, fun, exciting read that will keep you guessing and keep you on the edge of your seat.

And it’s free, today!
