The
Exiled Otherkin
by
D. Lieber
Genre:
Fantasy Romance Adventure Steampunk
Exiled
from Faerie when her father dies, half-Fae Ember is surprised by how
much the human realm has changed since she was there last. She takes
a dangerous job on a merchant airship, hoping a life on the move will
keep her well-hidden. Sure, she misses her brother, but years of
apathy have numbed her emotions.
When
the optimistic and naïve Reilley follows her, it’s annoying to say
the least. But when she starts feeling responsible for him,
long-stifled emotions crack the ice around her heart.
Faeries,
pirates, and traveling players meet in this steampunk fantasy
adventure as Ember tries to cope with feelings long forgotten and a
past that pursues her while balancing new friends and lovers.
D. writes stories she
wants to read. Her love of the worlds of fiction led her to earn a
Bachelor’s in English from Wright State University.
When she isn’t
reading or writing, she’s probably hiking, crafting, watching
anime, Korean television, Bollywood, or old movies. She may also be
getting her geek on while planning her next steampunk cosplay with
friends.
She lives in Wisconsin
with her husband (John), retired guide dog (Samwise), and cat (Yin).

ReplyDeleteThank you! The graphic artist, Dave King, at my publisher does great work.
DeleteLove the cover! How did you come up with the main characters?
ReplyDeleteThanks Casey!
DeleteI like playing with archetypes, and I wanted to explore the idea of an apathetic female character and an empathetic male character. I like to challenge gender roles and turn norms on their heads. Even though there are tons of strong female characters out there, I feel it's just as important to show readers that it's all right for men to be vulnerable, too. I will say the characters' general personalities were inspired by the anime Karneval. I hope you will let me know what you think if you decide to read it.
Thanks!
