Hello, All.

Thank you for explaining steampunk; I learn something new every day!

Now, I'm ready to read some books about it.

Yeah I'm ready to read some books about it as well. It sounds very interesting.

Any Steampunk Romance books someone can recommend?

[Elizabeth Darvill]

Here is the link for the Parliament and Wake website http://parliamentandwake.com/ It is fabulous and I am so thrilled to have them on my cover!

Hmmmm.... Well lets see...

I dont recommend Katie MacAlister's Steamed. Im sorry and I know right now its the Premiere "steamypunk" out there in romance but I dont find it a huge example of what the genre could be. (And i LOVE Katie's work so its no personal crit on her either).

Avalon Revisited by O.M.Grey is out now, getting great reviews... and I think you will like Elizabeth's short thats coming out next month through Tease.

Liz? Anything else you have read that works?

[StellaPrice]

Ooh Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series is good. Book two is MUCH more steampunk but OMG the books are great.

Soulless
Changeless
Blameless coming soon

I thought the steampunk elements were good in Cherie Priest's Boneshaker.

and I haven't read Thomas Riley yet, but I met the author Nick Valentino at the World Steam Expo and he was awesome...so I will give him a quick plug Here is his website http://www.sirthomasriley.com/about/

I've always been a bit confused by the term 'steampunk'. I've read several brilliant stories classed as 'alternative history' and it seems much the same idea to me.

Just been to your shop, Stella, gorgeous stuff, I love it!

[StellaPrice]

thanks so much. Much of my stuff is OOAK so I try to make it interesting.
