I’m pretty excited! Gypsy Shadow Publishing has just put out two of my steampunk stories at the same time.
Let’s start with “A Steampunk Carol.” That stuffy Victorian inventor, Stanton Wardgrave, is back again, eight years after inventing holograms and meeting the American Josephine Boulton…Within Victorian Mists. Married now, with a son and daughter, he’s dealing with rather too much balderdash and poppycock this Christmas Eve. Conversing with his dead father? Expecting three visitors? It all seems so very Dickensian. But he knows he’s not at all like that Ebenezer Scrooge fellow…is he? What, this story asks, would Christmas be without a bit of steampunk in it? This story (published in time for the holidays…hint!) is available here.
The other story is “The Six Hundred Dollar Man.” Wait, is that a smokestack over his right shoulder? What’s with his left hand? Sonny Houston, cowpoke. A man barely alive. “I can rebuild him, make him the first steam-powered man. A darn sight better than before. Better, faster, and a heap stronger, too. I’ve got the know-how.” A century before any bionic man, a doctor in the Wyoming Territory attached steam powered legs and an arm to a man trampled in a stampede. Get ready, Pardner, for a rip-roarin’ steampunk adventure! This story is available here.
I’m proud of these two stories and pleased to bring them to you, thanks to the great folks at Gypsy Shadow. Today’s indeed a great day for—
