Pre-order the paperback here.These fifteen thrilling and ingenious tales take the familiar genre of
steampunk in exciting new directions, following women from across the globe
and through pasts that never were (but could have been) on their search for
money, adventure, prestige, freedom--and the love of another woman. Here
you’ll meet a Moroccan airship engineer and an English diplomat who receive
a cryptic message and an exploding music box, a librarian who doubts her
God, a Malaysian shipping clerk who dreams of adventure, a terracotta bride
from the Tenth Circle of Hell, and an aeronaut on her way to certain death
and a surprising discovery--and many more.
Though they hail from across the globe and universes far away, each of them
is driven to follow her own path to independence and to romance. The women
of Steam-Powered II push steampunk to its limits and beyond.
“From colonial India to New Orleans in slavery times, from a rogue San
Francisco to the Lower East Side of old New York, these stories are
thoughtful, wide-ranging, exciting, and often very, very sexy. Anybody who
thinks that “steampunk” and “lesbian” are niche interests should read
Steam-Powered and get their horizons seriously expanded.”
—Delia Sherman, Mythopoeic Fantasy Award winner and author of Through a
Brazen Mirror.
