I’m fairly new to Steampunk, but I find it fascinating, and your new series sounds very intriguing. I’m looking forward to it.

Clockwork Heart has been on my radar since it was reviewed during the last Steampunk week.

Llehn asked, I’ve never read a steampunk romance novel before. How is it different from other conventional romance novels?

Aside from the worldbuilding (historical science fiction) it’s not any different than a conventional romance, or a paranormal romance, or a historical romance. You have the same elements that need to work: the main characters need chemistry, they need a believable relationship arc, and they need a happy-ever-after.

The only difference is that they are doing all of it in a steampunk setting.

Eva wrote, What first attracted you to Steampunk?

And would you/have you ever written something in the horror-scifi genre a la Alien?

I think I was attracted to steampunk because I love historical romances, but can’t write a straight historical to save my life. Throw in a love of adventure and action, and steampunk just seems like a natural fit.

Not horror-scifi, but I’m hoping to go the horror-romance way after I’ve finished with my Guardian series. That will depend on whether I can actually sell it, though

I have never read a steampunk book, but am always looking for new books to read.
