For those who are looking for authors in this intriguing genre, following is a list of SOME of those who write in this theme. I haven’t read works by all of them, so please feel free to comment if somebody has snuck in inadvertently”¦and, by all means, mention some of your favorites if I have left somebody off (maybe somebody will mention the one that I can’t for the life of me remember, lol).  The titles in parentheses refer to the series name.  There are several authors who are sharing excerpts from their lovely steampunk works today as well and I look forward to getting a taste of their works!
