Now that they’ve returned, Grim and his siblings hide from the evil Lord Victor and his minions. Grim Doyle has always known his life was not exactly “normal”, and things get even more curious when he discovers a set of stones that sweep him and his family to the fantasy, steampunk world of Verne – a place they had escaped from years ago. Naturally, there are dirigibles, goggles (my favorite part!), and absinth.

It centers around a young boy and his family that travel to the world of Verne. Scourge is a middle-grade (ages 9-12) novel that is the first in a series. And we have one basset hound that keeps us all in check. I currently live near Toronto with my same-sex partner and our three boys (we adopted three brothers three years ago). I graduated from the University of Toronto with a major in Biology and a minor in Classical Civilization. Gladly! I was born in Windsor, Ontario (just across the river from Detroit) to parents who encouraged me to read from a very young age. First, can you tell us a little about yourself and your latest steampunk creation?

Today we welcome Middle Grade Author David Burton who’s going to tell us about his new steampunk adventure for kids, Scourge (and giveaway some copies, too.) Winners of Anya Bast’s Raven’s Quest will be anounced Monday. The winners are…Īlden and Heather please email me at suzannelazear hotmail to claim your prize. Second off, I have the winners of the two copies of The Greyfriar: Vampire Empire Book 1. First off, there’s still time to register for my writing YA class, which starts Feb.
