Dawn's
Early Light
Ministry
of Peculiar Occurrences Book Three
Pip
Ballantine and Tee Morris
Working
for the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences, one sees innumerable
technological wonders. But even veteran agents Braun and Books are
unprepared for what the electrifying future holds…
After being ignominiously shipped out of England following their participation in the Janus affair, Braun and Books are ready to prove their worth as agents. But what starts as a simple mission in the States—intended to keep them out of trouble—suddenly turns into a scandalous and convoluted case that has connections reaching as far as Her Majesty the Queen.
Even with the help of two American agents from the Office of the Supernatural and the Metaphysical, Braun and Books have their work cut out for them as their chief suspect in a rash of nautical and aerial disasters is none other than Thomas Edison. Between the fantastic electric machines of Edison, the eccentricities of MoPO consultant Nikola Tesla, and the mysterious machinations of a new threat known only as the Maestro, they may find themselves in far worse danger than they ever have been in before…

About
the Authors:
Philippa
(Pip) Ballantine
Born in Wellington,
New Zealand, Philippa has always had her head in a book. For this she
blames her father who thought Lord
of the Rings was
suitable bedtime reading for an eight year old. At the age of
thirteen she began writing fantasy stories for herself.
She first earned a
Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Political Science and then
a Bachelor of Applied Science in Library and Information Science. So
soon enough she found herself working in the magical world of
libraries where she stayed for over a decade
Her first
professional sale was in 1997, and since then she has gone on to
produce mostly novel length fiction. In 2006 she became New Zealand’s
first podcast novelist, and she has voiced and produced Weaver’s
Web, Chasing the Bard, Weather Child and Digital
Magic as
podiobooks. Her podcasts have been short listed for the Parsec
Awards, and won a Sir Julius Vogel award.
Philippa is the
author of the Books of the Order series with
Ace- Geist and Spectyr and Wrayth out
now, and Harbinger to
follow. She is also the co-author of the Ministry of Peculiar
Occurrences series with Tee Morris. Phoenix
Rising debuted
in May 2011 and The
Janus Affair came
out in May 2012. She also has the Shifted
World series
with Pyr Books, with the first book Hunter
and Fox out
now.
When not writing or
podcasting, Philippa loves reading, gardening, and whenever possible
traveling. With her husband, Tee and her daughter, she is looked
after by a mighty clowder of three cats.
Tee
Morris
Tee Morris began his
writing career with his 2002 historical epic fantasy, MOREVI
The Chronicles of Rafe & Askana.
In 2005 Tee took MOREVI
into
the then-unknown podosphere, making his novel the first book podcast
in its entirety.
That experience led
to the founding of Podiobooks.com and
collaborating with Evo Terra and Chuck Tomasi on Podcasting
for Dummies and
its follow-up, Expert
Podcasting Practices for Dummies.
He won acclaim and
accolades for his cross-genre fantasy-detective Billibub
Baddings Mysteries,
the podcast of The
Case of the Singing Swordwinning
him the 2008 Parsec Award for Best Audio Drama. Along with those
titles, Tee has written articles and short stories for BenBella
Books’s Farscape
Forever: Sex, Drugs, and Killer Muppets,
the podcast anthology VOICES:
New Media Fiction, BenBella
Books’ So
Say We All: Collected Thoughts and Opinions of Battlestar
Galactica, and Dragon Moon Press’ Podthology:
The Pod Complex.
Tee bought all these
skills to the award-winning Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series
which he wrote with his wife, Pip Ballantine. When he is not writing,
Tee enjoys life in Virginia alongside Philippa Ballantine, his
daughter, and three cats.
Right now Pip and Tee are also running a Kickstarter for a brand new anthologyand a roleplaying game set in the world of the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences.
