On the way to war…

A cool thing happened whim I was noodling around one day, oh, almost a year ago.

A series of thoughts:

What would World War Two have been like in a steampunk world?

What if Sherlock Holmes was a strategist?

Hey, didn’t certain royal figures have wartime jobs helping the military?

What if nanogears and biomechanics mix?

…and what if I throw in a biomechanical octopus?

If an Octobot doesn’t tweak your fancy – and I’m not sure how it possibly couldn’t! – maybe this awesome cover by Cedar Sanderson will.

Steam Rising – out now!

Squee!

It was a pretty big week.

And, of course, I had a meeting that prevented me from being able to open this announcement up so I could find out whether I’d been accepted or if it was a consolation notice.

Sometimes a story sticks in your head and expands without conscious thought as it demands to be shared with the world. This was one of those stories. I can’t wait until you can read it.

I don’t know yet if I’ll be able to make FantiSci – will you be there? Let me know! Fingers crossed it will work out.

March is a long time away. Here’s a MidJourney teaser for you in the meantime.
