[Ray Dean]

Shanghai Steam

Release date: November, 2012

 Very excited. Yep, that's the description of my current state of mind. I can finally announce that Shanghai Steam - an anthology of Steampunk/Wuxia stories is going to be published... and NOT just the anthology... but my story as well...

If you read the summary above, they've included a little nod to my plot, but I'm not telling you which one... you'll just have to read it for yourselves.
