My story “House of Glass and Pearl” has been been published at Steamypunk.net, the premier site for Steampunk erotica.

I’m incredibly grateful to Magpie and the others at Steamypunk for taking a risk and publishing this story. While there are plenty of cogs and steam in the story, it certainly does not qualify as erotica, with titillation kept to a minimum. In fact, the story is prefaced on the blog by this very accurate disclaimer: Warning: Contains no explicit sex scenes! This is a work of romance.

By the way, I love that I am beginning my science fiction career with a disclaimer about not having enough sex. Seriously, I feel like an ironic literary rock star.

Please, check out Steamypunk, and not just my work of romance. Few things mix as well as oil and sweat. And if you feel so inclined, give them a donation for your pleasure.
