The Aerth's Aetheric Aegis series is New Adult fiction that blends the genres of steampunk, fantasy, science fiction, dystopian, and romance.
As if a CURSE in the form of bats that transforms those bitten into monsters and superhuman oppressors weren't enough, Elvira Evenfall must also navigate her own ambivalent feelings towards both a young man and woman, while she rediscovers her identity and special, secret lineage.

There’s nothing quite like a voyage back home...unless it’s interrupted by deadly denizens of the deep! Elvira and crew’s troubles don’t end there, though, for the humanoid, bat-like monsters known as HAVOCs await them after their return to the Falsvik Islands. They must formulate a plan of action before it’s too late. It’s going to take everything they’ve got. Will it truly be possible for everyone to make it out unscathed?
As if life-threatening peril wasn’t enough, Elvira suddenly discovers she can no longer use her aether at all, and, to top it all off, she is entirely torn between her feelings for Rozlyn and Sylas.
New friends (or rivals?) are met along their travels who introduce them to an exciting sport played with small automata, known as micromech brawls. These talented siblings’ lives are about to change forever after they make the journey to Brume for their first professional brawl.
Elvira, on the other hand, doesn’t have much time for fun and games, since, after returning to the capital, she immediately finds herself caught in a dangerous scheme of Madame Toupont’s — espionage. She is provided a tutor to learn as much about Ascendant culture and etiquette as possible before her big debut at the exclusive Ascendant debutante gala. While at the event, she and her lovely attendant find themselves in over their heads and suffer dramatic consequences.

My name's Velora Venn. I grew up in a small Midwestern town and earned my BFA in Video Game Art and Design just outside Chicago. Since then, I’ve lived all over: Illinois, Iowa, New Mexico, South Florida, and now I’m tucked away in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with hopes to move and settle somewhere else eventually.
I may be pushing 40, but my artistic energy, passion, and creativity have stayed delightfully intact and just as obsessively alive as they were when I was little. I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of two and a lifelong animal lover with an unapologetic appreciation for all things nerdy. When I’m not teaching or parenting, I’m usually writing, drawing, gaming, hiking, or dreaming up my next big adventure. Creating worlds through stories and art has always been my favorite kind of magic.
