Blog Tour! Iron Pendulum by @MeganCurd

IRON PENDULUM Synopsis:

A month ago, Avery thought the world ended outside Dome Four. Thought she was one of the few of her kind. Thought the war that brought the human race to the brink of extinction was over.

But a month can change everything.

After fighting to escape a tyranny she didn't even know existed, Avery has had to come to grips with all the secrets she's uncovered. But more secrets continue to come to light, revealing how little of her world she truly knew. When evidence starts to show that Dome Four might be under siege, Avery knows what she must do.

Returning to the dome she longed to escape is a challenge for Avery, but now she knows there’s corruption lurking in the shadows. A massive steam shortage leaves half the dome without power, and people are falling ill. Dying.

And they’re blaming Avery.

A month can change everything. One more month could kill everyone. The clock is ticking.

EXCERPT: 

Lexie was the leader of the Alliance. Vivacious and determined, I still couldn’t believe she was only twenty-three—my age in eight years.

Almost seven.

As if Sari had read my mind, she perked up. “What do you want for your birthday, Avery? It’s next week.”

“Yeah, the big one-six.” Agreed Alice. “You’re old. Practically ancient in post-apocalyptic terms.”

I laughed. “Then what does that make Riggs?”

“A giant, dusty, dinosaur fart,” Jaxon said, and everyone burst out laughing.

“Come on, let’s get home before more Zeroes find us,” Sari said. “I don’t want to deal with any more disgusting things today. Jaxon covered in crap more than exceeds my quota.”

She took a step forward and a snap rang through the tunnel. Her scream pierced the air, threatening to burst my eardrums. Water splashed against us as Sari flipped upside down and was pulled to the ceiling by a rope, her mask falling into the shallows.

A rusted metal trap had lain in wait, slicing into her ankle with every fight and twist of her body.

New Release! Weather Witch by Shannon Delany

In a vastly different and darker Philadelphia of 1844, steam power has been repressed, war threatens from deep, dark waters, and one young lady of high social standing is expecting a surprise at her seventeenth birthday party–but certainly not the one she gets!

Jordan Astraea, who has lived out all of her life in Philadelphia’s most exclusive neighborhood, is preparing to celebrate her birthday with friends, family and all the extravagance they might muster. The young man who is most often her dashing companion, Rowen Burchette, has told her a surprise awaits her and her best friend, Catrina Hollindale, wouldn’t miss this night for all the world!

But storm clouds are gathering and threatening to do far more than dampen her party plans because someone in the Astraea household has committed the greatest of social sins by Harboring a Weather Witch.

I asked Shannon what the inspiration behind the Weather Witch was and the location she chose, this is what she had to say...

I've always loved storms and ships and the idea that someone might be able to control the weather, and I grew up about an hour outside the city I set the opening action in--a city I return to whenever I can.

Philadelphia. I love it so much I started the Weather Witch series there. My brother says his favorite city in the US is NYC, but for me it's Philly with its remnants of colonial history, its spirit of revolution and innovation and its wide variety of immigrants. Philadelphia doesn't swallow people up the same way other cities do--it allows their fingerprints to remain as a part of it and every person has the real opportunity to make it a better place because of their involvement.

Philadelphia is my big city crush and I had to use it. Of course I did change some aspects of it significantly... Although there is a "Society Hill" it's not like my "Hill". There's no real "Below" although the city breaks into different neighborhoods and I'm sure there've been some that some people would suggest as being the "Burn Quarter" at different times. But there are plenty of references to actual places and even some people (and one ghost).

To say Philadelphia influenced this series would be an understatement. Yes, we do visit a few other locations I love like Bangor, Maine, Herkimer, New York (and reference others: Baltimore and Salem) but we come back to Philadelphia for some of the most important moments because I love it so much.
