Cover Reveal of J.L. Mulvihill’s New Steampunk Novel,The Boxcar Baby!

For Immediate Release
May 22, 2013

Seventh Star Press is proud to reveal the new cover art from the award-winning Matthew Perry for J.L. Mulvihill's The Boxcar Baby, which kicks off an exciting new steampunk series, Steel Roots!

Edited by Amanda DeBord, The Boxcar Baby introduces steampunk readers to AB'Gale Steel.

Born in a boxcar on a train bound for Georgia. At least that is what Papa Steel always told AB'Gale. But now, fifteen years later, the man who adopted and raised her as his own is missing and it’s up to AB'Gale to find him. Aided only by a motley gang of friends, AB’Gale train hops her way across the United States in a desperate attempt to find her papa and put her life and family back the way it was. Her only guide is a map given to her by a mysterious hobo, with hand written clues she found hidden in her papa’s spyglass.

Here is the Great American Adventure in an alternate steampunk dystopian world, where fifteen-year-old AB'Gale Steel learns that nothing is as it seems, but instead is shrouded in secrets and mysteries … and that monsters come in all shapes and forms.

Born in Hollywood and raised in San Diego, CA, J.L. Mulvihill has made Mississippi her home for the past fifteen years. Her debut novel was the young adult title The Lost Daughter of Easa, an engaing fantasy novel bordering on science-fiction with a dash of steampunk, published through Kerlak Publishing.

J.L. also has several short fiction pieces in publication, is very active with the writing community, and is the events coordinator for the Mississippi Chapter of Imagicopter known as the Magnolia-Tower. She is also a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Gulf Coast Writers Association (GCWA), The Mississippi Writers Guild (MWG), as well as the Arts Council of Clinton, and the Clinton Ink-Slingers Writing Group.

The Boxcar Baby will be released in both print and eBook formats during the beginning of June. For further information on The Boxcar Baby and the Steel Roots series, please visit www.seventhstarpress.com

Four 'til Late Cover Reveal With Eric Garrison

Seventh Star Press is proud to reveal the new cover art created by the award-winning Bonnie Wasson for Eric Garrison's novella Four 'til Late, the first book of the Road Ghosts Trilogy!

Edited by Joshua H. Leet, Four 'til Late will take readers who enjoy paranormal fiction along for a haunted road trip!  In Four 'til Late, amateur ghost hunter Brett and his friends Gonzo, Jimbo, and Liz are on a road trip with dangerous detours, dreadful dreams and dire warnings. But that won't keep them from reaching their goal: New Orleans. Along the way they discover that some spirits leave you with more than a hangover and regrets. Can they get there in one piece, or will they be stopped and rest in peace?

The bags are packed, the engine's running. Turn up the radio and get moving because the road ghosts are waiting, and it's Four 'til Late.

Eric Garrison lives in Indianapolis, Indiana with his wife, stepdaughter, and, as he describes it, “an alarming number of cats.” A paranormal enthusiast and home brewer, Eric is the author of dark fantasy and science fiction novels including the Road Ghosts Trilogy (Seventh Star Press) and Reality Check (Hydra Publications).

Four 'til Late will be released in both print and eBook formats during the beginning of June.  For further information on Four 'til Late and the Road Ghosts Trilogy, please visit www.seventhstarpress.com
