Every Friday until its publication, I'm going to blog something about Brave New Girls: Stories of Girls Who Science and Scheme, a YA sci-fi anthology featuring tech-savvy heroines. The goal is to encourage more girls to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math careers. Revenues from sales of the anthology will be donated to a scholarship fund through the Society of Women Engineers.
Today, I'm spotlighting one of the stories that will be featured in the anthology. This one's a super fun steampunk mystery reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes. I loved the quirky and spirited style of the story, and knew pretty much at once that it'd be awesome for Brave New Girls :-)

THOUGHTS ON BRAVE NEW GIRLS
Having a young daughter has raised my awareness of how much representation matters. Her delight in discovering stories about girls having adventures and doing things has inspired me to write stories that will similarly delight other girls and women.
BRAVE NEW GIRLS: STORIES OF GIRLS WHO SCIENCE & SCHEME will be released in August 2017!
