Tor/Forge Author Voices: Volume 2 has a short essay-ette by Priest on what she decided qualified as distinguishably steampunk enough for Boneshaker and a little about how the worldbuilding came to be (plus an excerpt from Boneshaker and Volume 3 has an excerpt from Ganymede).
All 3 volumes are available for free download directly from @ Tor.com (DRM-free, available worldwide, may require site registration), as well as a number of stores which they link to (geo-restricted to US only).
They're actually pretty nifty in terms of giving short behind-the-scenes info on the creative process and the publishing industry (not to mention some fun trivia), and much nicer than the glorified chapter extract wrap-up that I'd dismissed them as when they originally came out a couple of years ago. |
Thanks. The kobo link's don't seem to work any more but the B&N ones do.
