Overview

Bran Monroe, the troubled Earl Kirkbride, believes he murdered his wife during one of his mysterious blackouts. But Regan Delaney, a gypsy elf who is familiar with the world of Lumière, knows better. There’s an explanation for Bran’s black spells, one that will be difficult for Bran to accept—that he is not only a shapeshifter, but a powerful one who can save his captured people and defeat the evil that threatens Earth’s way of life. Only if he comes to terms with what and who he is can he accept the love that Regan offers.

About the Author

I write Steampunk Fantasy Romances. My series is called the Lumiere Chronicles. I grew up with a mother who taught in public schools and with a father who was the lead engineer on the Apollo 6 spacecraft. I used to imagine what it would be like to travel in space. I believed fantasy denizens lived between the walls of our house.

I have two Bachelor's of Science degrees--one in education and the other one in business. Too, I have a Master's degree in educational design and technology. Besides writing, I love traveling, going on cruises and bicycling. Exploring old cemeteries and castles, finding inventions that didn't take off. Reading old documents/records, such as letters, newspapers, marriage certificates, diaries, journals. Going to steampunk and King Arthur festivals. Making jewelry, and gadgets of my own, (although this takes a lot of time and I spend most of my time writing now).

My love is writing romance novels.

Editorial Reviews

I enjoyed Clockwork Blue so much I couldn't wait to read this second book in the series. Allegro and Glissando, the lovable pixies, are back and this time fiercely ready to die for the kingdom they love. Meanwhile in another part of the kingdom, Regan plans to avenge the death of her best friend. Her first suspect is her best friend's husband, Bran. Believing he killed his wife, Bran is ready to die. But when sparks fly between Regan and Bran, both are knocked off their game.

What I find most fascinating about this series are the characters. Multi-faceted, magical, loyal and genre-crossing. Gloria Harchar creates a magical world where strong, passionate characters spring to life in a fascinating Steam Punk setting. If you haven't yet experienced the Steam Punk genre, this is a fantastic series with which to begin your journey. I'm a lover of all stories driven by romance because I believe life is thereby driven. It's all about the chase....

I loved Gloria Harchar's first book of the Lumiere series, but this 2nd story was to die for! I'm crazy about the characters, the plot, the steampunk elements, the magic, EVERYTHING! I don't want to spoil the story by giving away too many details, but I want to be Regan. She is a fighter and fiercely loyal. When she gets to know the hero, Bran, she believes in him even when he doesn't trust himself. Smart and beautiful, I almost felt like she could jump from the page. Definitely a must read!!

Another exciting book with great imagination for all the characters. Gloria Harchar nailed this one that kept you involved all the way through. Suspense all the way up to the ending. You will be surprised and enjoy the adventure. I really liked this read and look forward to many more of Gloria Harchar's books.

Regan's best friend, Selena has been murdered and all the clues point to Selena's husband Bran. Determined to expose the murderer, Regan collect evidence. This process throws Regan into close proximity with the number one suspect, Bran. At this point, the the adventure begins. The story is full of romance. Mild enough language and situations are written so that this story could be shared with your daughter or granddaughter. With the pixies, trolls and wolves there is never a dull moment!
