Steampunk, that is. The Shadow Conspiracy: Tales from the Age of Steam is the latest release from the authors of Book View Café, the Internet’s largest professional author cooperative.

The stories of The Shadow Conspiracy revolve around the premise that something... else happened on the stormy summer of 1816 at the gathering of poets, far beyond the creation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. These tales focus on the dreamers, experimenters and engineers of this alternative timeline who work their mechanical and metaphysical magic both for good... and evil. Edited by Phyllis Irene Radford and Laura Anne Gilman, authors include Judith Tarr, Sarah Zettel, Steven Piziks, and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff. The collection will be available for the Kindle, Sony eReader, B&N Nook and a wide variety of smartphone reader apps.

To celebrate the launch, BVC will be holding a twitter fic contest from the 15th through the 17th. The subject of the contest is machines and monsters. The first place winner will receive an ebook copy of The Shadow Conspiracy and a hardcover edition of editor Laura Anne Gilman’s Flesh and Fire. Second place winner will receive an ebook copy of The Shadow Conspiracy and a hardcover edition of P.R. Frost’s Faery Moon. Details can be found at the BVC twitter fic contest page (http://www.bookviewcafe.com/index.php/News/BVC-Twitter-Fic-Contest-9-The-Shadow-Conspiracy).

Does plugging our personal website count? I have some (hopefully) entertaining articles about Robots and the Christmas Gorn up on my website.
