hello love your book
Hello! Thank you!
Can’t wait!
Thank you! Me neither.
Hey, hey Devon Monk… I love your books… What is this one about? I’m a huge fan of Patricia Briggs and Jim Butcher and my theory is, if authors that I love are commenting on a book, I would most likely love that book… So I’m excited to read this one… Are we going to get excerpts soon??? I want to know more….!!!
I’m putting up the back cover blurb tonight. As soon as I get the thumbs up from my editor, I’ll see if I can post a blurb.
Yay, I love Steampunk (especially steampunk romance) and I’m always excited to discover new books in this genre. The cover of “Dead Iron” looks fantastic.
I LOVE the cover! Artist is Cliff Nielsen. He does fabulous work!
Hi Devon!
Any excerpt on this one yet?
Can’t wait to read this series. I am a fan of Allie Beck but I would love to indulge in other characters too
As soon as my editor gives me the ok on the revisions, I’ll try to get and excerpt up. But I’m posting the back cover blurb now.

Yes! I love paranormal mixing with steampunk. Sounds fantastic!
Thank you, Abigail!! I had a blast writing it! I hope you’ll like it!!
Bumped into this by accident(just love when that happens)on Amazon and got the anticipatory tingles! I have really enjoyed the Magic series and look forward to the new! “blood sweat and gears”,love it…
Mary,
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it when you get your hands on it!
Reading the latest Allie Beckstrom book and I had to say that I am really excited to read your new series! Steampunk and a Paranormal mix is just fantastic and I cant wait to read it.
Kristen,
Oh, thank you! I hope you like it when you get a chance to read it.
I just picked Dead Iron up today. I have only read the first few pages and I am already enjoying it. Thanks for a great book. Is it going to be a series or a stand alone?
Sean,
So glad you’re liking it so far! Right now there will be two books in this series with a possibility for more.
Hi there. I think I just fell in love with that wolfie of yours *G* Downloaded the Kindle version and devoured it within 2 days. Can’t wait for the 2nd book in your new series. That mix between steampunk and magic is absolutely fascinating and the characters have the depth it requires to bring them to life if you know what I mean. I usually have a weak spot for the bad guy but not in this case. I felt the strong urge to carve LeFels heart out with a teaspoon *G*
Also downloaded the first Allie Beckstrom novel last night and halfway through already. I’m intrigued by the implications of using magic and like the characters so I will download the rest as well. Though I must say I like the Steampunk setting better as it’s rougher and more down to earth. Besides werewolves are just too cool.
Conny,
Yay, some Cedar love!
And you’re right, the Allie books and the Cedar books are really two different sorts of worlds, but I have a ridiculous amount of fun writing in both worlds.
Just finished your book ‘Dead Iron- Age of Steam’ I cannot wait until the next installment. Just found your work and so far I am loving it.
Jennifer,
Thank you! I’m working on book 2 right now, and I just have to say I am giddy with the fun of it!
I must echo the sentiments of the others on this page: blending steampunk and paranormal elements makes for a truly savory mix. It’s been a long time since I picked up a book that drew me in so strongly; I was loathe to put it down for even such things as going to work or having a bite to eat. This is an amazing book, and I will keep a close eye on your future endeavors. Now I’m off to start the Allie Beckstrom series….
Rick,
Thank you so much! I love writing in Cedar’s world. Heck, I love writing in Allie’s world too!
Happy reading!!
love. love love this book. i found dead iron by happen-stance and gladly list it as my favorite! is this going to be a series???
Having just finished the excellent Dead Iron I just wanted to comment on a few things. The blending of the various supernatural types you have is smoothly and expertly done. Obviously, even though you have expressed at this point only one redux I can see the opportunity for many avenues of reading enjoyment thru the various characters as each undergoes his or her own exploration of their lives and origination; much of which is yet to be known.
The combination of western and supernatural leaves you open to a vast amount of lore on both sides also yet unexplored for your characters. with your complement moving East towards a more civilized country some may find themselves fish out of water where others are accustomed to more structure and have left it without regret.
The Madder brothers are aptly named. Unbridled and uniquely chldlike in their abandonment. They should be a force to reckon with but seem restrained by some as yet unknown set of rules to be discovered.
Rose is a budding force to be seen in its entirety. And I admire her resolve, spunk and independence.
Ceder and Wil. So much there and so little time.
Kk. Done with that one, next seven of them please?
Lol! Glad you liked the book!!
I just finished Dead Iron and all I have to say is please-oh-please come out with a sequel soon. It’s been all of five minutes since I finished and already I’m itching to read more. This book is absolutely fantastic and I’m thrilled that I picked it up and started it. Thank you!!!!
I just wanted to take the time to tell you how awsome your books are. Ive read all of them and cant get enough. you are so good at keeping the reader on the edge of there seat. Thank you for being awsome
Have read all your Allie Beckstrom books!! Love your new book Dead Iron. You just keep getting better and better!!!
I loved it can’t wait to read the new one when its finished I read it in 2the days I couldn’t put it down
[...] Monk’s Dead Iron: The Age of Steam is a mash-up urban fantasy-meets-steampunk-meets western. Set in a 19th century Oregon small town [...]
Found this book at Borders when it was going under. Loved the cover, love Steam punk so I grabbed it. I was blown away! We run a steam punk Role Playing Game with my children and their geeky friends (Using modified pathfinder) and so many of the ideas in this book run parallel to our game that I am going to require all the players to get a copy! I am so hoping you continue this tale! I swear by Glim and God I will buy the next book the second it hits the shelf!
Just thought I would add my own congrats on this wonderful series, read the first book awhile back, but I am eager to continue down the very interesting and wonderful path you are leading us on. Keep up the great story, I anticipate a wonderful relationship.
Hey!
I just finished your book Dead Iron. I really enjoyed the plot and Strange elements. I’m looking forward to any more books with Cedar Hunt!
Good book.
