Summary:
"You thought I did this out of the goodness of my heart?" He gave a short mirthless laugh. "Not a bit of it, this is going to be dangerous for me. What are you offering for my help?"
Beneath the Amber Sky, the nobility control the food, education, and the mysterious C.O.I.L.S of Copper and Brass. To Tay, struggling to keep her siblings alive, the ideas of rebellion and freedom are distant and unreachable.
But when her father is arrested, she begs Darius James, the son of the Overseer, to save his life. Darius agrees, but his help costs her a favour, one he can call in at any time.
Darius' favour will bring her to the Palace, and the perfect position to help the growing rebellion. But the court has games beyond anything she has seen before, and Darius' secrets will add to the danger.
Tay is now able to make a difference, to join the rebellion, find the C.O.I.L.S and discover the secrets of the Amber Sky. All she has to do is survive.

About the Author
When I was a child, I
made up games and characters when my sister and I played with dolls. As I grew
older, I would make up scenarios and scenes, fully intending to write them down
but never finding the time. In my late teens, I discovered the world of role
playing and settled into an avid ‘geeky’ life of D&D, comics, sci-fi and
fantasy fiction. Years passed and I finally gave voice to the stories in my
head. I write romance, fantasy, action and adventure. I love tales of steampunk
and history, tales of magical powers and dark curses lurking in the shadows.
Though The Black Lotus is not my first attempt at a novel, it is the first I
have finished.
And some fun facts
about me:
I sew.
My favourite Disney
film is Atlantis.
I’ve been a film extra
and stood 5 feet away from Sam Rockwell.
Babylon 5 is my fave
sci-fi show.
I cried at the end of
Toy Story 3.
EXCERPT:
“Emerson?[RC1] [C2] ” Her eyes flicked up to meet Tay's, and a
frown creased her features. “How
did you manage to draw a servant’s ration?” Tay froze in fear as the woman glanced at
the guards stationed at the sides of the room. With quick steps, two of the
guards moved into place on either side of her and caught hold of her upper
arms.
“What's wrong?” Tay tried to sound unconcerned, but her voice
came out as a small squeak. She should have known that the Centre staff would
recognise her family name. The woman did not answer but nodded to the guards.
Tay felt her stomach sink as they pulled her upright. “I haven't done anything,” she called out as they dragged her across
the floor, hands clamped about her upper arms like steel. The few other patrons
of the centre stared down at the floor, ignoring her panicked voice and
expression. Struggling vainly against their grip, Tay was dragged towards one
of the small interrogation rooms. The guards pushed her through the door, into
a small, claustrophobia-inducing, room. Rough hands thrust her into a chair,
and she cried out as her elbow smashed against the arm. Both guards ignored her
squeal of pain as they took positions on either side. Bulky, and solid with
muscle, the guards discouraged any effort to escape. She swallowed nervously as
she looked at the empty chair before her. Why had she not anticipated this? The
centre controllers would know her father's name and realise that she wasn't
entitled to the position that she now held.
