Meera, those look exactly like the sort of suggestions I was hoping for. With the added bonus of having a few authors that I know along with some new ones to look forward to. Thanks very much.

Well air ships, steam powered vehicles and clockwork are all real technologies. And many stories are based in what was known of science back in the era where Steampunk is set. Some are even alternate realities set in the present day I understand.
