Hello, and congratulations to all the winners of the first round of the holiday giveaway frenzy! We're doing another drawing this weekend for three more books; the entries are below if you, too, would like to be mentioned in a video by a gin-soaked Victorian puppet, and possibly win a book as well. Deadline for entries is this Friday.

Steampunk II: Steampunk Reloaded (Advance Reader Copy)

Flaming Zeppelins (Advance Reader Copy)

The Buntline Special -- now a true published copy, not an ARC! (I just got the new book yesterday.)

Pyr mentioned my review of The Buntline Special, which was a nice surprise.

Did you know that it's Steampunk/Alternate History Week? There's all sorts of activity. Steampunk.com is running a poll to determine the best steampunk-themed book of the year, and the Steampunk Writers Guild has sprung to life fully formed!

And finally, for those of you with iPhones and whatnot, there's now an app for a steampunky Christmas Carol. Dickens would be so proud.
