I’m clearly still recovering from the insanity of Romanticon, because I totally forgot that Steamlust: Steampunk Erotic Romance released yesterday from Cleis Press!
This is an amazing collection of erotic steampunk that is sure to get your engines primed. I squeed a little when Amazon sent me my shipping notification this morning. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
You can check out my story The Undeciphered Heart, along with many other kick-ass tales.
I love fall. I love getting back to the routine of things and letting my life take on some semblance of order. Being a creature of habit, there is something calming about getting the kids back to school.
There is nothing like getting a great review to put a smile on an author’s face! I’ll be picking up this month’s RT Book Reviews (and you should too!) so I can save a copy of our first review for Steamlust!
RT has given the anthology a 4 star rating, and The Undeciphered Heart even got a small shout out.

Steamlust isn’t out until October 11th, but you can pre-order it here.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m still bouncing from the Carina Press anniversary yesterday. I hope a few of you visitors have decided to stick around and say hello.
Two things came across my plate today that got me silly excited. The first is the official story lineup for the Steamlust: Steampunk Erotic Romance anthology I’m a part of. Check this out!

I’ll be pre-ordering extra copies of this bad boy and I hope you will too!
The other thing today that got my crank going was this trailer for the remake of Fright Night. The original version of this movie kicked all kinds of ass and was one of my favorites when I was younger. This version as David Tennant playing Peter Vincent, the part originally made famous by Roddy McDowall!
I have a feeling the new version is going to be darker than the original, but I hope it’s as funny! You can check out the trailer showing a SHIRTLESS DAVID TENNANT right here.
Wow…so I think I can officially say that I’m on a roll. I found out yesterday that I have sold another short story to Cleis Press, this one to be included in their Steamlust: Steampunk Erotic Romance anthology!
The Undeciphered Heart is a quick story of love, both lost and found. I’m thrilled to be a part of this anthology, which has a forward written by the stunningly talented Meljean Brooks!
Steamlust is romantic erotica that reflects the excitement, fantasy and rebellion of steampunk. Not sure what steampunk is? Think Victorian elegance and aesthetics meets futuristic invention and exploration. The genre of steampunk itself has transcended the Victorian (or Edwardian) eras — in Kristina Wright’s inventive anthology, it can be any time period, real or imagined, that blends elements of science, history, fantasy and technology. Until Steamlust, the genre had been missing romantic relationships and erotic encounters. Steampunk erotic romance is shiny brass and crushed velvet; mechanical inventions and romantic conventions; sexual fantasy and kinky fetish. It’s steam powered sexy romance!
Editrix extraordinaire Kristina Wright creates a lush and fantastical world of women-centered stories and romantic scenarios, first for steampunk fiction. Fetishizing the wardrobe, language, fantasy and rituals of steampunk, Steamlust includes alternate histories, second worlds, time travel and contemporary settings.
Steamlust will be available in October 11, 2011, and you can pre-order it from Amazon today!
