"I started in radio, writing and reading the news. The first national story I sold was when I was 19 years old, working in the WOUB news room in Athens, Ohio. A chemical plant in Belpre, Ohio, had exploded and I broke the story to NPR news. I decided two things on that day: I wanted to cover the arts (as I really felt AWFUL for being happy when lives had been lost) and I was in love with public radio. I worked on and off in radio for the next dozen years - Finally ending up at 'Georiga Gazette.' I left radio - perhaps for good, shortly after my daughter was born. After my second child came along, I started to have this feeling like, 'if I don't write a novel, I'll die a horrible death.' So I started writing, and what flowed out of me was Chenda and the Airship Brofman."
I LOVED THIS BOOK! Nicely written to keep me involved, I couldn't put this book down. The characters are lovely, and the atmosphere delightful. AND full of suspense. Unique and intelligent, I had never heard of steampunk before this but now I can't wait to read more. Especially of Chenda and the Airship Brofman. Hopefully this is just the beginning of Chenda's adventures because this is a world I want to visit again and again.
The characters in this book become so real that I want a sequel to be ready yesterday. I felt pulled to read the next page and yet I did not want the book to end. This book is well written and immediately engaging your own imagination. The characters become like friends that you want to keep communicating with long after the book is finished. I am ready for the sequel or give me any book by Emilie P. Bush. Sam
Keep in mind I am a reader, not a writer. This book is written by a friend of mine. I read the first chapter on her blog and begged her to publish it so I could read the rest. I was not disappointed. I LOVED this book.
As any great book this one was very hard to put down at night. Yes, I had a few bad mornings after reading just a few more pages. She wrote about people who you could believe to be real, who you wanted to believe in, who you want to learn more about. The story in enjoyable, with some technical talk that I could believe in and understand, yet put it "not here/now". It is not a romance, yet has some. It is not a thriller, yet has it's moments. It is not a travel log but talks of another place. I guess the best way to put it is... I liked the end, it felt "right" but I want more.
