Steampunk’d

For the past two weeks I have been researching the steampunk genre. I started because I was curious about what the genre was all about.

What precisely is steampunk? Simply put, steampunk is a science fiction/fantasy genre that centers around the mystique of steam powered engines and clockwork mechanisms, which is most commonly found in a Victorian (or Victorian-like alternative universe) setting. A more intense perspective on the genre can be found on Katiebabs’ 3-part blog series.

This genre looks fun. And funky. And totally intriguing. So, now I feel punk’d –steampunk’d, that is.

I think I’ll have to write one.

What a delightful new (to me!) author.  I downloaded The Wicked West to my Kindle on release day because of some glowing reviews of the authors on other sites I follow. Thought a short story –and a Western, to boot! –would be a good way to try this new author.  Boy, was that a great idea!

The Wicked West is the story of Sherriff Hale and Lily Anders. Hale struggles to come to terms with his sexual impulses. Lily’s just looking to start over and indulge in some fun with her sexy neighbor. If you’re looking to get a taste of a BDSM erotic story, I highly recommend as the subject is handled with tact and sensitivity. Top notch storytelling!

I love to ‘discover’ a wonderful new author that I can follow. AndVictorica Dahl (http://www.victoriadahl.com/) is the latest addition to my list.
