Why should a reader pick up your book?If they are looking for a series of character-driven stories that include fantasy and science fiction but also a nod to history then pick up this book. I love it when a reader writes me that I introduced them to a historical figure they never knew existed and after researching learned that the life they lead was not all that different from how I portrayed them. Here is what one reader wrote;
'I really enjoyed this paranormal-steampunk-metaphysical-dark fantasy-historical, set during the Victorian Era, in England, France, Italy, and America's Frontier period. I had not first read the first in this series, THE ALCHEMISTS, but that never interfered with the intrigue nor with my understanding of the story and continuing characters. Although I am not an aficionado of nor expert in fantasy, I do love a story in which magic works and is a way of life. I also love science, and to me, steampunk is like alternate history with science (and steam engines). Here, too, is metaphysics, spirituality, and secret societies! You want to see character evolution? Look right here! We've got it in spades--even with characters who are in a sense virtual ; and we get Homunculi (and golems). Plus we have a heroine who is the first female detective constable at Scotland Yard, the White Witch of London, a metaphysical engineer--and formerly a nun!! I found myself glued from the first chapter and totally enjoyed.'
What is Steampunk?Steampunk is an aesthetic and for some a way of life. One key point is that steam is the main mode of power. I heard a good tagline "When the Victorian comes together with Science Fiction like clockwork."My rules for the Steampunk world I have built is this is an alternative history to our timeline. Many things are the same, and I use historical characters along with my fictional characters. less
