[supersonic squeeing]
If you're not familiar, Gail Carriger is the NYT bestselling author of the Parasol Protectorate, among many others, and is HUGE in the steampunk community. So I was pretty chuffed when she asked to use my photo of Madeline Masquerade's steampunk Tinkerbell. (Costume by the amazing Firefly Path.)
Here's my original photo:
As for the story itself, Fairy Debt is "a short comedic fairy tale, coming in at just under 5000 words (or about 10 pages). In it Gail gets up to her usual silly tricks, tea saturated prose, and food driven biting wit."
I haven't read it yet myself, but it's for all ages and sounds utterly delightful. You can grab the Kindle edition for 99 cents over at Amazon.
