When you're asked to write the blurb so it can get kicked upstairs, You're Doing It Right.

Here's what we turned in:
In 1896, disgraced Chastity Millwood is sent with her stern auntie to the New Abilene Colony on Jupiter's moon of Io. Resigned to a fast marriage in order to save her non-existent virtue, she didn't count on falling hard for handsome Ulysses Carter, a junior officer of the ship. During the six-month trip, the virile Outrider, whose favorite part of his job is lassoing and riding asteroids away from the ship, meets his match in this petite redhead, who teaches him exactly why her name fits her so badly.


ps: the icon is standing stones all day. Celt, you know. Irish even.

That sounds like a lot of fun to read...

We had a lot of fun writing it.
We hope the readers enjoy it as much as we did.

My sister said it gave her Jules Verne flashbacks. And Mom loved it.

Want.

Naomi and I know it's one of the best we've done. It has to be to make the Cavemen series. 24 stories get chosen out of thousands.

We suspect our editor likes it better than most of our pieces, too, just given the turnaround speed on the edits.
