The Alchemist and the Woman in Trousers: a Cornelis Drebbel Adventure Kindle Edition
.
Disdaining corsets and preferring trousers to skirts, Felicity Derringer has a progressive mindset for the 1800s. She is also the protector of an alchemist who lived in the 1600s. Or at least, that’s when his body was alive. Cornelis Drebbel, that alchemist, is a genius (if an imperfect one) with an acerbic wit and in-your-face rebelliousness. Yet he manages to make himself endearing. How can one fail to like this creator of harmonic tuners and the original thingamajig?
The alchemist and the woman in trousers are set upon from every side as they try to rescue young Copper. Their escapade carries them on alchemically enhanced contraptions like a high-speed road locomotive, as well as Cornelis Drebbel’s grandest invention. They are aided by a small green skunk-looking creature as they go to bizarre places to evade their foes and search for Copper’s missing daddy. Alchemy might be a solution, but there’s just one drawback — alchemy often goes awry.
.
The Alchemist and the Woman in Trousers is a fast-paced mashup of steampunk, fantasy, and absurdism. It’s also wild fun for all ages.

About the author

Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene is certain that the pen is in your hand. After a life shaped by the tragedy of losing a sibling to Mµnchaµsen §yndr◊me by Pr◊xy, along with the abµ§e she herself survived, Teagan took that metaphorical pen into her hand. She wrote her way to a new chapter of life with a successful career authoring and editing technical documentation. With another revision that pen took her to the next chapter, working alongside highly placed Federal executives to compose their communications. However, Teagan wasn’t finished. The pen was still in her hand. In her latest chapter she is an acclaimed multi-genre author, living in a high desert town in the Southwest of the USA. Rescue cats, the §coobies — Velma and Daphne, offer unsolicited advice on all stories, as well as the book covers Teagan designs.
This author’s stories range from paranormal to high fantasy and urban fantasy, to various steampunk (and other types of punk), to mysteries with historic settings. In addition to fiction, she has created the Author Tool Chest series of non-fiction works as resources for writers and anyone who loves language. In free time she enjoys conversations with friends, singing karaoke, and playing her piano.
