Bargain @ 99 cents through the month of December from Book View Café (DRM-free choice of ePub or Mobi available worldwide):
Steampunk Voyages: Around the World in Six Gears by Irene Radford (
ISFDB), a collection of Exactly What It Says In The Title. These appear to be newly-written (the story titles don't match up to her ISFDB listing of published shorts, though that may be incomplete), but Radford is a long-time DAW author and I think I might have bought this already during a previous sale. If not, I'll be scooping it up.
This might possibly be available and price-matched in other stores that Book View Café distributes to (couponable @ Kobo), but the author makes the most money from a direct-buy sale, IIRC.
Steampunk Voyages brings the Romance of steam, the stretch of the imagination, the big, brassy, powerful, and sweaty way of looking at the world sideways in six stories of the Victorian age of wonder.
Author Irene Radford offers new and old stories that reach from a weapon of mass destruction that could change the outcome of the U.S. Civil War, the truth behind why the ballet Giselle disappeared for nearly fifty years, pirates in Indonesia questioning whether we should control technology or be controlled by it, to a glimpse of Princess Victoria coming of age as secret operatives try to protect her from madmen acting in the name of long dead Lord Byron.
Adding to the fun, Steampunk Voyages includes a sneak peek at an upcoming novel in the world of dirigibles, necromancy, a steam powered book catalog, and hints of romance.
