The Unnaturalists by Tiffany Trent

Week One Favorites End of the Week Wrap Up!

Hope we didnt move too fast for everyone!

What a week right? So many great covers, so many great book recommendations to choose from. It disappoints me that the week is so short. It was very difficult skimming that list to just six, as there were just too many to choose from.

Wrap up Count: Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler, A Song for Bijou by Josh Farrar, The Tinker King by Tiffany Trent, Flirt: Portrait of Us by A.Destiny/Rhonda Helms, A Time To Dance by Padma Venkatraman, and The Rivers of Zadaa by D.J.Machale.

Week One: Covers - Third Favorite! Tiffany Trent's "The Tinker King"+ Ellen Oh's Prophecy/Warrior & Sarwat Chadda's The Savage Fortress/The City of Death giveaway!

Okay! Day Three of this week's favorite covers! 

Next cover, I actually found out about the "Unnaturalists" series through a goodreads thread about women of color in steampunk. I wasn't sure about it, because no one ever mentioned "what" exactly the main character was ethnically(even though I suppose it would've been difficult since the ethnicity doesnt exist in our world). I bought the book and cast it aside.

UNTIL I saw the cover for it's sequel! Which is why it's one of my favorite covers. I started the book to get to the sequel, and was so glad I did. I ended up loving it and all it's confusion, but nothing pushed me to start the series better than "The Tinker King!"

Take a trip to the "New London" with Tiffany Trent! Tiffany sits down with Twinja Book Reviews!

I had the honor of reading Tiffany Trent's book on our blog a few months back. I loved it, as it was my first steampunk book with a person of color. It was one of the first books that made me actually have to courage to tweet my favorite authors. My experience with her has been fantastic! She not only wrote a book that I loved, but had a unique take on diversity in her interview!

1. I've been honored to meet you through your writing, but for those who haven't been as lucky, why don't you introduce yourself?

I’m Tiffany Trent. I write science fiction and fantasy for young adults, but I also write about science as a communications manager in my dayjob. I live with my husband and our critters in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

2. You are the author of 7 published full length novels, as well as un up-and-coming sequel to your fantastic novel "The Unnaturalists", with many short stories under your belt as well. What prompted you to be a writer in the first place? What was your journey before publication like?
