The Article:

Author Elizabeth Chatsworth has inked a deal with Equinox Books to publish her gaslamp fantasy The Brass Queen in June 2020. The story, set in 1897, features the adventures of Miss Constance Haltwhistle, a British aristocrat and rogue inventor, who teams with inept U.S. spy Trusdale to search for a scientist with an invisibility serum. “As royal foes create an invisible army to start a global war, Constance and Trusdale must learn to trust each other,” we’re told. “If they don’t, the world they know will literally disappear before their eyes.”

Chatsworth, who is also a SAG-AFTRA actor, portrays Constance in a free audio chapter on her website.

Early drafts of the novel have garnered positive reviews on Goodreads. You can get a free copy of her earlier tale, Ten Minutes Past Teatime, by signing up for her email newsletter.
