Steam-Powered: Lesbian Steampunk available NOW! (And special promotional offer from me!)

Steam-Powered: Lesbian Steampunk can now be ordered from Torquere Press. It should be available from Amazon in a couple days; I'll link when it is.

I don't normally do extensive promotion for my works, but I'm making an exception for this one because it's only one-fifteenth my work, and it's a small-press anthology about lesbians, with most stories taking place outside of England. The characters are often women of color, plus a trio of Jews. This is not your standard sf anthology, and it could probably use all the support it can get. Plus, I think it's really fun. It has zeppelins, dreams cut into crystal, cyborg bounty hunters, Emperor Norton, the Mughal Empire, and Wild West gunslingers soul-bonded to giant steel robots.

So if you order or have ordered, you may enter a drawing to win a custom-made adorable clay figurine, made by myself, described and with sample pictures in my standard sales post here.

If you order it or have already pre-ordered it and would like to participate in the drawing for a custom figurine, please comment to this post to say so. No proof of purchase needed - this is on the honor system. I will put your names in a hat, and draw one on February 10. So you have till then to order and comment.

I preordered after reading an ARC (I was supposed to review it, but had to go flocked. :(

And now I have done so!

I did - bought the e-book from Torquere yesterday.

Also, it was fascinating how they did it; I was a bit worried because the website never said exactly which format it came in, but when I downloaded the file it proved to be a .zip file containing a bunch of them: HTML, .prc, .lit and a few others. (If anyone else needs to know I can go look.)

Can you check for MOBI? That's the Kindle edition. I can convert with Calibre but I'm laaazy and would love to just be able to, you know, download it.

Not .mobi, but it has .prc which works on Kindles. (I just tested it, to be 100% sure.)

Thanks so much!

It is up on Amazon now, and I have ordered it. (I would have ordered directly, but I still had a little of my birthday Amazon gift card left, so.)

Thank you! That has been driving me nuts.
