New York Times' Bestselling author of the Parasol Protectorate series, Gail Carriger, has started a new series for young adults and I'm offering up a signed copy of Etiquette & Espionage! Plus, some kind members of the Sacramento Steampunk Society have donated some steampunk swag to round out this listing.
About Etiquette & Espionage:
It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another
to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to
Finishing School.
Fourteen-year-old
Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more
interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper
manners--and the family can only hope that company never sees her
atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to
become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle
Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but the also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage--in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.

And the swag! Tousled Dolly has donated a key necklace, and Terrie Lohrey Taylor has donated a pin and bookmark (look at the little shoe charm on the bookmark!)
