MY IMAGINARY MARY

MY IMAGINARY MARY is the electric, poetic, fantastical and only slightly monstrous tale of the young Mary Shelley -- author of Frankenstein and, some say, the original Goth -- as she and the scientifically supreme Ada Lovelace put their heads together for a creation will change the world -- as long as he doesn't rust.

Mary Shelley may have inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a drab life above her father's bookstore, waiting for an extraordinary idea that'll inspire a work worthy of her parentage -- and impress her rakishly handsome (and super-secret) beau, Percy Shelley.

Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about superstar parents, what with her dad being Lord Byron. His poetry touches hearts, but Ada's passions lie beyond the arts -- in mechanical engineering, to be exact. Alas, no matter how precise Ada's calculations, there's always a man willing to claim her ingenious ideas as his own.

Pan, aka Practical Automaton Number One, is Ada's greatest idea yet: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make him truly autonomous -- or how to make him work at all.

When fate connects our two masterminds, they learn their talents are rare indeed—because their parents were two of the most powerful fae (humans with the power to make what they imagine turn real) to have ever lived. And with the right training from a fae godmother, they can achieve anything they dare to imagine. But when their dream team accidentally-on-purpose results in a living, breathing, thinking PAN, Mary and Ada face a villain of Gothic proportions.
