Blog Tour: Weather Witch Guest Post

From the Author:

My character Jordan has to do some growing up throughout the Weather Witch series, and she's reluctant to do so. She's had a decent life so far, living up on The Hill on some of Philadelphia's most prized real estate. This is an acrostic poem from Jordan's point of view. 

Whichever the battle and what-
Ever my fear
All that I wish is
That you find me here.
Here stays the heart pinned
Ever to my sleeve
Resting, nestled, and cool
Where no one can see.
I wait for the rescue 
That might never come
Clutching your gift,
Here, betwixt forefinger and thumb.

About the Book:

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.
