My short story collection Ether Frolics: Nine Tales from the Etheric Explorers Club came out this month. 

 

It's a collection of nine stories drawn from the archives of the Etheric Explorers Club, a Victorian society dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the etheric realm: the visions of a Russian painter in fin-de-siècle Paris... a terrible weapon that almost no-one has survived... a confession within a confession... a crime from antiquity resurfacing beneath the Thames... a desperate search for a lost sister... a contemporary horror entwined with an ancient manuscript... an experiment gone wrong... a lost world which should have remained lost... and a night of dining, death, and romance.

Congrats!!! Are there excerpts posted on your site?

Thanks! There aren't any text samples at the moment, but one of the stories in the collection is "The Resident Member", which was produced as a radio play - the MP3 can be downloaded for free at:

"The Resident Member" is a comedy, but most of the stories in the collection are more serious in tone.

It was reviewed today over at Steampunk Canada:
