Steam-Powered 2 TOC!
Earlier this year I spent quite a bit of time talking about a short story set in 19th C Central Asia, which I am now turning into a YA novel. Well, the TOC that contains the story has been announced, so I can finally say that “Selin That Has Grown in the Desert” will appear in Steam-Powered II: More Lesbian Steampunk Stories edited by JoSelle Vanderhooft!
The story is about Dursun, a girl of marriageable age whose parents are seeking her a husband – except that she has realised she only likes other girls. Also there’s some steampunk.
And here is the amazing TOC it will appear alongside:
Introduction: Kevin Steil (of Airship Ambassador)
Journey’s End: Elizabeth Porter Birdsall
Amphitrite: S.L. Knapp
In the Heart of Yellow Mountain: Jaymee Goh
Playing Chess in New Persepolis: Sean Holland
A Thousand Mill Lofts Gray: Jeannelle Ferreira
Dark Horse: A.M. Tuomala
The Return of Cherie: Nisi Shawl
One Last Interruption before We Begin: Stephanie Lai
Selin That Has Grown in the Desert: Alex Dally MacFarlane
Granada’s Library: Rebecca Fraimow
The Canary of Candletown: C.S.E. Cooney
Fruit Jar Drinkin’, Cheatin’ Heart Blues: Patty Templeton
Deal: Nicole Kornher-Stace
Not the Moon but the Stars: Shveta Thakrar
The Terracotta Bride: Zen Cho
Article/Afterward: Winding Down the House: Taking the Steam out of Steampunk: Amal El-Mohtar
I’m going to be in an anthology with Nisi Shawl! I admire her writing so much. And I’ll be with Claire, Patty, Nicole, Shveta and Amal, writers and friends whose work I also love and respect and cannot wait to read.
This is gonna be awesome.
