Melanie Karsak’s
“Chasing the Star Garden” takes the reader on an exciting adventure from the
gritty opium dens of gaslamp London to the gem-colored waters of the ancient
world, introducing us Lily Stargazer, a loveable but reckless airship racer
with a famous lover and a shattered past.
Lily Stargazer is having a bad day. She just lost the London leg of the
1823 Airship Grand Prix. To top it off, a harlequin fleeing from constables
shoved a kaleidoscope down her pants, told her to fly to Venice, then threw
himself from her airship tower.
What’s a girl to do? For Lily, the answer is easy: drink absinthe and
smoke opium.
Lily’s lover, Lord
Byron, encourages her to make the trip to Venice. Lily soon finds herself at
the heart of an ancient mystery which has her running from her past and chasing
true love and the stars along the way.
About the Author:
Melanie Karsak grew
up in rural northwestern Pennsylvania where there was an abysmal lack of
entertainment, so she turned to reading and hiking. Apparently, rambling around
the woods with a head full of fantasy worlds and characters will inspire you to
become an author. Be warned. Melanie wrote her first novel, a gripping piece
about a 1920s stage actress, when she was 12. A steampunk connoisseur, white
elephant collector, and caffeine junkie, the author now resides in Florida with
her husband and two children. Melanie is an Instructor of English at Eastern
Florida State College.
