I love to read, write, paint (walls and paper). I love strong heroines, despise whiny sidekicks, and adore a good story about a triumphant underdog. I'm Jacqueline Garlick, author of young adult and new adult fiction. Garlick’s Illumination Paradox series, familiar friends struggle against new and old enemies, shocking secrets come to light, and the truth that could save this captivating steampunk world is revealed…if it doesn’t destroy everything first In Noir, the second thrilling addition to Jacqueline E. And as she unravels a secret that could challenge Penelope’s claim to the throne, Penelope vows to divert Eyelet’s journey-straight to a dark and deadly end.

But Eyelet’s late father’s most prized invention, the Illuminator, has been missing since the day of the mysterious flash-a day that saw the sun wiped out over Brethren forever.Īlone and on the run, she finds the Illuminator-only to witness a young man hauling it away. After her mother is accused and executed for a crime that she didn’t commit, the now-orphaned Eyelet has no choice but to track down the machine-her last hope for a cure.
