Steampunk lives under the shadow of Jules Verne. In "The Volcano Lady: Volume 1 - A Fearful Storm Gathering" by T.E. MacArthur, the protagonist rubs shoulders with several prominent Verne characters.
"Volcanology is an unseemly occupation for a lady in 1882, but this will not prevent Dr. Letticia "Lettie" Gantry from pursuing her scientific obsession to America, Japan, or all the way to the Dutch East Indies if necessary. Not even the unwanted attentions of extraordinary "mad inventors" such as the legendary Captain Nemo and Robur the Conqueror will stop her. But too many men want to control her and, more importantly, her prediction equation: an exotic foreign agent, a man bent on destroying humanity, and a remarkable, enigmatic Civil War veteran whose moral certainty is running out of steam as fast as his captain's airship.
What is a lady to do?"
