Business As Usual by David Barnett

Business As Usual by David BarnettSeptember 4, 2013

Spring, 1890, and England needs a hero. Gideon Smith is yet to step up to the role as public protector of the Empire, but in the background and the shadows, Mr Walsingham pulls strings to keep the often outlandish threats to Britain and her interests at bay. It is a role that lies heavy on his shoulders, and here we find him composing his end-of-year report to Queen Victoria. Business As Usual is a standalone short story that takes place some months before the events of the forthcoming steampunk/Victoriana novel from Tor Books (Snowbooks in the UK), Gideon Smith and the Mechanical Girl, which is published in September.

I have always loved books but discovered romance books later in life while home with a sick child thanks to my best friend, Brenda. It didn't take long to meet up with Karen and learn that we shared a lot more than a love of books. We are sisters in spirt who want to help people spread the word about books. KarenneLyn is the web designer of Coffee Time Romance and several other sites. This wonderful exploration of her creative side has become a fun thing to learn and opened the door to meeting some wonderful people.

Happy April! April showers bring may flowers, but it also brings the bunnies back to our yard to nibble on the clover. Sometimes it is a battle because the honey bees love sipping from the clover blossoms, too! What do bunnies and blueberries have in common, you ask? Why, they both start with the letter B.

In my mystery novel Dog Grant Me, Cuban flan plays a memorable role during a pivotal dinner scene at Friar Lake Conference Center. As food anthropologist Yesenia Ubeda explains to her students, this beloved custard has ancient Roman origins, born from egg surpluses that clever cooks transformed into smooth, delicate desserts.

My love affair with California began at the tender age of fifteen and continues today, over four decades later. So it should come as no surprise that the book of my heart, which ultimately became the Chances Trilogy, as well as Christmas in Tahoe and my new release, Sierra Fall, are set there.

I am so excited to let my readers know that on April 17 Netflix will air Ransom Canyon based on my book of the same name.
It stars Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, and James Brolin. I wrote Ransom Canyon in 2015 about the state I love. The book is about a small town nestled between huge ranches and small farms--a place where love runs deep and forever.

The Laredo series began with an old ballad, "Streets of Laredo" and the sad image of a wounded, unidentified Confederate soldier. When I first wrote Boone Wilson`s novel, "The Legacy of Boone Wilson", I intended it to be a standalone novel but Boone and his brothers, including Ezekiel, didn`t listen.

Easter makes me think of colorful plastic baskets filled with yellow peeps, candy eggs, a chocolate bunny and jelly beans. Sometimes it was a cute little stuffed bunny. We all had our favorites, and Cadbury eggs were, and still are, mine.

Award-winning author David A. Anderson took some time this week to answer a few questions about his debut novel, The Drowners.

Tell us a little about your YA Watty award. What year did you receive it and what was your Wattpad experience like?

2021. The crazy thing is I almost didn`t enter that book. I had another story, Bright Midnight, that was getting attention from Wattpad`s editorial staff.
