Steam-Powered: Lesbian Steampunk Stories Now On Sale January 28, 2011 – Posted in: Aberrant Normalcy

I’m very happy to announce that Steam-Powered: Lesbian Steampunk Stories is now on sale.  Edited by JoSelle Vanderhooft, the anthology contains stories by N.K. Jemisin, Mike Allen, Amal El-Mohtar, Shira Lipkin, Beth Wodzinski, and more, as well as one by me.  I haven’t read the anthology myself yet, but I’m looking forward to it.  My story is about a second-generation Jewish woman who owns a pawn shop (called “Tchotchkes” of course) on a steampunked Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 19th century who hires a young immigrant from Gujarat.  As she makes overtures toward the young woman, an aspiring politico has other plans for her, not all of them wholesome.  Worse, not he may be hiding something that might destroy them all.

You can purchase the anthology here. (Soon to be on Amazon, I’m told)

And you can also win a drawing here.
