STEAMLUST – A quickie giveaway!

steamlustAngels of Darkness isn’t the only release I have on October 4th — I’ve also written the foreword to STEAMLUST, an anthology of erotic steampunk romance edited by Kristina Wright.

STEAMLUST

Steampunk Erotic Romance

Edited by Kristina Wright, Foreword by Meljean Brook

To avoid confusion, please note: I am writing the foreword for this erotic steampunk collection. It does not include an Iron Seas tale, but awesome and original stories by many talented authors: Sylvia Day, Saskia Walker, Sacchi Green, Christine d’Abo, Charlotte Stein, Elizabeth Coldwell, Vida Bailey, Anna Meadows, Lisabet Sarai, Andrea Dale, Lynn Townsend, Mary Borsellino, Nikki Magennis, and Anya Richards (whose story is new to me, too! Whee! an awesome treat for me. I didn’t mention this one in the foreword, but it’s definitely not an intentional slight! The story is fantastic.)

Okay, so — here’s the official description:

Steamlust is romantic erotica that reflects the excitement, fantasy and rebellion of steampunk. Not sure what steampunk is? Think Victorian elegance and aesthetics meets futuristic invention and exploration. The genre of steampunk itself has transcended the Victorian (or Edwardian) eras — in Kristina Wright’s inventive anthology, it can be any time period, real or imagined, that blends elements of science, history, fantasy and technology. Until Steamlust, the genre had been missing romantic relationships and erotic encounters. Steampunk erotic romance is shiny brass and crushed velvet; mechanical inventions and romantic conventions; sexual fantasy and kinky fetish. It’s steam powered sexy romance!

Editrix extraordinaire Kristina Wright creates a lush and fantastical world of women-centered stories and romantic scenarios, first for steampunk fiction. Fetishizing the wardrobe, language, fantasy and rituals of steampunk, Steamlust includes alternate histories, second worlds, time travel and contemporary settings.

Publishers Weekly says: Wright’s anthology of sizzling steampunk romance is a sensual, passionate, and humorous collection of alternate histories, fantastical worlds, and time travel romps. The heroines are strong-willed, intelligent, technologically savvy, and elegant in their fashionable corsets. It has a fun book trailer, too:
