  • Will You Miss Those Encyclopedic Tomes?

    encyclopedia britannica 1910 lighthouses pauline baird jones science fiction romance author steampunk

    The news that Encyclopedia Britannica is going digital only was not a huge shock. Information is changing too fast for the fixed format of an encyclopedia, and those things were heavy and took up a LOT of space, but it did make me a bit nostalgic. Back in the day (sounds better than “in the…

  • Resistance is Futile – the Borg vs Automatons?

    automatons borg heather massey pauline baird jones science fiction romance author steampunk

    I can still remember my first sight of the unrelenting, seemingly unstoppable Borg. Talk about creepy villains. It wasn’t just their lack of emotion that made them such deliciously awful opposition, but the very real threat of being assimilated, of losing free will. You don’t just get defeated by the bad guys, you become one…

  • I am a Rereader

    I feel like I should begin by saying, “My name is Pauline Baird Jones and I reread books.” Why do I feel like I should be addressing a support group? Because my to-be-read pile of books is gargantuan, both in print and digital. And yet there are days, when I am overwhelmed by the need…

  • Yeah, I Made Up My Steampunk, too.

    Recently I blogged about my “squishy science” in a post called My Fiction is Totally Made Up. Expectations play a huge part in how a book is perceived/received by a reviewer or a reader. This was brought home to me again when a reviewer’s expectations ran into one of my steampunk stories. I get that…

  • Victorian Quirky and the Book Blurb Conundrum

    I participated in a Blurb Pitch Tournament earlier this month and though Steamrolled didn’t win, it was both an instructive and useful (and I was thrilled to make it past the first heat!). Blurb writing is one of the harder things an author does, sometimes harder than writing a whole novel. Doubt me? Try describing…

  • Steampunk Gift Pack Fun Continues in New Contest!

    I had so much fun with the last steampunk gift pack, that I had to do another one, even though (again!) it is killing me to give all this cool stuff away. I’m looking for a good home, of course. (grin) This new gift pack includes:Gift basket includes: Vintage Texas Dish Towel; L&L Dreamspell tee shirt…

  • New Contest!

    perilous pauline steampunk

    I am so lucky that I get incredible support from my family. When I made a little side trip into steampunk, my sister (who designs and sells jewelry locally) started looking for steampunk stuff and has come up with some truly fun stuff for my gift packs. Also, my sister-in-law, who brews up soap and…

  • I Be Blogging and a Partying 🙂

    Okay, if you know me at ALL, you’ve noticed I’m giddy about my new release, Steamrolled. Maybe even a little past giddy? So it won’t be a surprise to find that I’m also having a release party. To join the fun and get a chance at an Amazon gift card, click HERE. I’ve also been…

  • STEAMROLLED is out and I have a life again! Woot!

    The book that I’ve whined about finishing since last year at this time is OUT. It is for sale! You can find out about it on my website! I’m so happy! Here’s my book blurb:With all of time at risk, it’s a bad time to fall in love…unless it’s the only time… Robert Clementyne is…

  • Big Fork Little Fork Recipe APP!

    perilous pauline science fiction romance steampunk

    While I am a big fan of Top Chef and some of the other cooking shows, I am by no means a skilled cook. In fact, my daughter recently said my kitchen was a “chamber of horrors.” But that doesn’t mean I’ve given up hope. So when I saw a call for iPad owners to preview…
