Everyone having fun?
I know I am and from the comments I have been approving, it looks like we have quite a few guests here reading and partying with us! That is awesome. I also see a couple of our previous reader hosts are with us, Shadow and Colleen. Good to see you and have you back...
The Alchemist’s Kiss
An Excerpt from The Alchemist's Kiss by AR DeClerck Icarus knew he was lucky to have friends such as these. He'd saved them both once upon a time, and they'd both saved him in return. He'd been set on a dark path before he'd found Archimedes dying in a London back...

PG-13 Excerpt: Tom Fleet’s Incredible Machine
The way Tom gets to this point is x-rated LOL but here is where Rowan's ship brings Tom's tiny craft on board to find out what they have discovered. Rowan looked at the other man, raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Come on, man, where's your sense of adventure?...

Peek at Tom Fleet–GLBT romance, M/M
Okay, here you are. It is probably the goofiest story I ever wrote but dang if it wasn't fun! I'll do a short PG-13 excerpt in a second post. BTW, Tom Fleet is a clumsy play on the old Tom Swift character of dime dreadful sci-fi fame. One free download to a comment on...

Lightning Wolves
Lightning Wolves is the second novel in my Clockwork Legion steampunk series. It continues where the first novel, Owl Dance, left off. In the first novel, we met a Mexican professor who had built a wolf automaton with a camera in its head. In the second novel, the...

Quick visit from Deirdre O’Dare
AzGaye/Gwynn kindly allowed me to pop in even though I am not really a steam punk author. I did one very tongue-in-cheek story that is kind of a steam punk meets time travcl and begets futuristic tale a couple of years back, Tom Fleet's Incredible Machine. It was...
Necessary Inventions
Ok, remember that we are talking about living during a time when people were just learning about using mechanical propulsion, lighting that didn't involve flame, and all kinds of deprivation that are thankfully, not a part of society today. When I look around at all...

Allana’s Air Ship
Thank you for the question, dear reader! Hy Brazeal is a mystical place out of Irish mythology. Here is a snip from Wickapedia (what a neat tool, one not available in my normal time but I am time traveling here today!) **Brasil, also known as Hy-Brasil or several...
Owl Dance
Owl Dance is the first novel in my Clockwork Legion steampunk series. It grew out of my love for the history of the Southwestern United States and the unbridled scientific and technological curiosity of the nineteenth century. My great grandparents homesteaded in New...
Steampunk stories are all around!
A scan through the library catalog using steampunk as the subject of research reminds me of some of the stories I have read and enjoyed. I am frustrated because I can't quite remember some of my favorites (it's terrible when one's mental filing cabinet becomes too...

Blast to the Past
Have you ever read some of the classic Victorian novels such as those by Jules Verne or H. Rider Haggard? If you did, maybe years ago when you were in school, you were reading the predecessors of Steam Punk! Jules Verne loved exotic places and exotic means of getting...
