I'm very excited to announce that I've sold a story to DAW's Steampunked anthology, edited by Jean Rabe. I really like how this story turned out. It's set in the late 1800's (natch), and it's about an augurist, Maks, who foretells the future for a mining outfit that scours the Ural mountains in a steam-powered walker for meteor strikes to mine. When his auguries begin to fail him, Maks finds himself adrift, unable to navigate the world without them. With danger growing from the pirates who plague the miners, Maks must find the key to the mystery surrounding his young apprentice before the crew suffers a terrible fate.
There's no publication date yet for the antho, but I'm guessing it'll be late this year or early next year. More info as I have it…
Congratulations! That sound s like a very cool story.
Hey Diana, yeah, the story turned out pretty neat. Those themed anthologies can be challenging, but in a good way. Makes one stretch their boundaries.
