comments labels steampunk sep 28 2010 query steam palace dear esteemed literary agent sometimes meeting your evil twin makes you wonder which one you are sophia stratton leaves home to discover a temptress an immoral gutter prowler named viola living with her gentle aunt shocked and curious she follows viola to the steam palace a small city of iniquity and sin built upon an ancient half buried barge in the connecticut river despite the obvious fact that viola hails from a native tribe and lacks the slightest touch of civilized culture sophia is inexplicably drawn to her and finds to her embarrassment that they share a similar demeanor needless to say when sophia discovers this wanton woman is actually her twin sister separated at birth it thoroughly destroys her but that is only part of the story all sophia wants is a job perhaps a proposal of marriage to an eligible gentleman of sufficient reputation and a means to restore her family name she never intends on bringing her country torn between two neighboring countries to the brink of ruin she now hides out in a bombed out native village where spirits walk among the corpses captain thomas putnam her love is most likely dead his leg torn by shrapnel in a unfortunate assault on their country s rival the southland in an attempt to steal the mysterious sea key and now viola of whom sophia has grown quite fond despite viola s untoward upbringing has surrendered to the man responsible to all this destruction and faces torture and death for her disobedience hartford and the steam palace lie in ruins and ghost a powerful fury lord with limitless technological power at his fingertips refuses to assist sophia must find a way to rescue her sister restore thomas honor convince ghost to join their cause locate the mythical sea key and fight off her country s invaders before war claims the remnants of a once proud kingdom steam palace complete at 120 000 words is a steampunk romp through alternate history america where proto

query of poets and angels dear agent a murder in the corrupt and polluted city of lambria sends a poet on a desperate chase for an ancient artifact ethan has a rare gift his poetry can do more than captivate audiences it can command thoughts or even alter reality itself as ethan struggles to control his new abilities he stumbles upon a grisly murder that threatens to attract the attention of the dreaded inquisition if he doesn t solve it first ethan s investigations reveal much more than a simple murder the victim was an operative of the inquisition sent to retrieve a dangerous artifact from a hidden shrine the murdered agent was betrayed by his partner and now the artifact is missing without the artifact ethan s home once a safe haven from the bustle and pollution of the city is suddenly
