Rising Novel:
Author: Rebecca Rode
Dominion Rising Title: Flicker
Ember is a gypsy on planet Earth. All she wants is to pay
off her father's medical bills and avoiding a forced marriage. Getting
kidnapped and sold to the empire wasn't exactly the plan.

Author: Melanie Karsak
Dominion Rising Title: Curiouser and Curiouser
My novel is a steampunk retelling of Alice in Wonderland.
In my novel, Alice is an ex-thief who is trying to escape her former life in
London’s seedy criminal underbelly. Unfortunately, when the Hatter gets himself
in trouble, Alice is pulled back exactly where she doesn’t want to be—working a
job for the Queen of Hearts with a man she despises so much that she might
still love him.

Dominion Rising Title: Iron Tamer
Mal is a young, cursed boy who
grows up in the isolated mountain town of Pointe, which has been disconnected
from the rest of the Empire for at least a generation. When he accidentally
gets the local "police" force, the Brigade, nearly killed by a raging
forest spirit, Mal is forced to take the Walk—a one-way ticket to death in the
caved-in mine shaft that once connected Pointe to civilization.
He makes it out alive, though, and soon
discovers that he has an incredible gift—the ability to manipulate metals. And
at the behest of an unlikely new friend, he starts on a journey to become an
iron tamer.
Mal is a spirited, kind, and sometimes overly
trusting young man who wears his heart on his sleeve and more than once gets
the wool pulled over his eyes, but his dedication to his
friends and belief in
himself sees him through many dangers.

Author: Daniel Arthur Smith
Abernathy "Abby"
Squire is an Indiana Jones turned detective. He's forever young, due to
anti-aging technology common in the future. But his youth is only aesthetic.
Over the centuries he's been a university professor, an agent for the Homeland,
and most recently a proprietor. He's uncomfortable with his role in the Plane
Wars and is reluctant when called back to help with a case because many aspects
remind him of his past.

Dominion Rising Title: The Waking of Grey
Grimm
There are three protagonists
in The Waking of Grey Grimm. Figuring out who they are and where they are is
the story arc. Each of them is in search of something deeper in life and the
relationships that bind them together. In the end, they discover that reality
is not confined by our five senses.

crew.

Diana Smythe is an orphan, a pickpocket... and a
