Steampunk binge

Work on Nightblood continues...a little slowly. In the meantime, I'm indulging in a steampunk binge today. Pulled out all of my steampunk books and history references, and doing a mad search on-line. I didn't realize how big steampunk has gotten. It's spawned its own punk subculture, as well as a DIY costume and accessory aesthete (check out the Steampunk Workshop link to the left). There is also a steampunk magazine and steamy-punk erotica e-zine, and I have ordered printed copies from each. Steampunk and steamy-punk short stories are beginning to percolate in my head. Quite by accident, I think I may find myself focusing primarily on the steampunk genre. Paranormal romance and dead things in outer space may have to take a back seat...

Right now, I'm looking at my steampunk vampire romance (outline complete, working on chapter-by-chapter plotting), a steampunk dinosaur e-serial (brainstorming phase), and two other steampunk novels in various stages of planning. Of course, I also need to finish Nightblood. Poor modern werewolf story, now all by itself in my head, crowded in amongst steam-blasting pipes, grinding gears, and corsets. :(

Man, I am gonna be one busy girl. Where do I start?

Maybe by finishing Nightblood first. Focus, D, focus!

Oh, no... Bait just dropped his slobbery tennis ball at my feet... And it's so nice outside... How can I resist...?

Love, fangs, and fur.......
