The Air Affair: A cozy fantasy prequel short story

by Shelley Adina

Overview

"The past is always difficult to confront, but any effort, however cold, cannot be denied. Well-developed karma." —Kings River Life Magazine

Georgia Brunel, Lady Langford, boards the transcontinental airship Juno with her late husband's aunt, Millicent Brunel. They are looking forward to delicious meals, congenial acquaintances, and sunny days spent painting watercolors in the clockwork city of Venice.

But trouble soon finds them in the person of Millie's nemesis from her long-ago schooldays. Old grudges have not been forgotten. Old hurts have not healed. Will an old feud finally be resolved ... in murder?

"The Air Affair" is a prequel short story to the Lady Georgia Brunel Mysteries set in the Magnificent Devices steampunk world. Though these cozy fantasy books can be read as standalones, there are threads of love and family, tea and chickens, running through them all. No strong language, just a very proper kiss or two and a satisfying solution. If you like books by Gail Carriger, Emma Jane Holloway, or Heather Fawcett, you're in the right place. Enjoy!

Editorial Reviews

"Revenge and bullying inform Shelley Adina's 'The Air Affair.' In 1895, happily widowed Lady Langford and her Aunt Millie, on an airship between London and Paris, encounter the latter's old school foe. Fear not; revenge proves sweet in 'The Air Affair.'"
