Seriously though - Nick, your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now onto the re-writes!"

"Thanks for posting this. I've been very curious about this book, but I dread zombies - having a fear of being eaten they're not exactly my taste in fantasy. Sounds like though, you'd still recommend it even with the zombies."

I came to this touted in the steampunk genre, with some unease. I didn't quite understand the concept of zombies in the steampunk world, and I have to admit it started off slow for me, being more a history than a character opening. But once I plowed through, I found it to be a very enjoyable read for a… Continue "Franklyn" - a movie w/steampunk elements

Elizabeth Delafield said… - Hi! My book is set in Victorian England; I was very vague in my first draft, and originally thought of the Regency period, but I think setting it later will fit the story better.

C Scott Morris said… - My cred is a short story published on DF_Underground, and online horror zine called Toy Maker's Apprentice. I have a Dark Fantasy/Steampunk novel out to agents at this time, but that's it.
There are some steamypunk erotica anthologies out there. Several, in fact. I dont think they are old enough to have shown up on Duotrope or Ralan yet. Check out Saritza Hernandez, the epub agent with the L Perkins agency. She reps mostly erotica and loves steampunk. She has a blog where she posts calls for submissions for such anthologies. She even reps short stories, and has sold steamypunk shorts to anthologies before.

- No worries, if their copyright rules don't allow it, just give us a link or some info to how we can read it by putting a blog post up. I don't normally encourage self-promotion on the blog, but I think that counts as educational, or informative, or "of general interest" which fits the focus of the blog perfectly. :)
