Turning the Wright Way

Though Rebecca's a Master of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, that isn't much help when it comes to managing her own life.The Wright Guild's recent decision to admit women was exactly what Master Full Wright Rebecca Fuller had hoped for. Perhaps now she could get back to teaching her students, running her shop, avoiding the Guild's interference in her life, and planning her wedding to David.But the Queen steps in and everything falls apart. Faced with impossible demands, the Guild must do what it hates most-cooperate and change-and everyone must play their part. Tucked away with her students and an unexpected mentor, will her unconventional skills be enough to craft what the Queen requires?Guild Secretary, Master Full Wright David Enright would much rather be helping Rebecca than navigating the procedural and legal morass surrounding the Guild.

Once again, it's not his skill as a Wright, but his unique expertise as a barrister, that the Guild requires-good for the Guild, difficult on one's ego.But when the Guild Conclave doesn't like what he has to say, disgruntled Wrights turn desperate, willing to do the unthinkable to maintain their centuries-old ways of life. With everything and everyone he holds dear endangered, will he be enough to turn the Wrights a new way?An exciting new gaslamp fantasy adventure from the author of Jane Austen's Dragons, perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Charlie Holmberg, AJ Lancaster and V. E. Schwab. Though Maria Grace has been writing fiction since she was ten years old, those early efforts happily reside in a file drawer and are unlikely to see the light of day again, for which many are grateful. After penning five file-drawer novels in high school, she took a break from writing to pursue college and earn her doctorate in Educational Psychology. After 16 years of university teaching, she returned to her first love, fiction writing. She has one husband, two graduate degrees and two black belts, three sons, four undergraduate majors, five nieces, six more novels in draft form, waiting for editing, seven published novels, sewn eight Regency era costumes, shared her life with nine cats through the years and tries to run at least ten miles a week.
