All aboard! The Scoobies and I are celebrating the publication of my steampunk fantasy novel:
The Alchemist and the Woman in Trousers: A Cornelis Drebbel Adventure
Why celebrate? The novel debuted as a #1 New Release at Amazon.
What would a steampunk fantasy be about? Here’s a brief description.
Book Blurb
The Alchemist and the Woman in Trousers is a fast-paced mashup of steampunk, fantasy, and absurdism. It’s off-the-rails whimsy. Disdaining corsets and preferring trousers to skirts, Felicity Derringer has a progressive mindset for the 1800s. She is also the protector of an alchemist who lived in the 1600s. Or at least, that’s when his body was alive. Cornelis Drebbel, that alchemist, is a genius (if an imperfect one) with an acerbic wit and in-your-face rebelliousness. Yet he manages to make himself endearing. How can one fail to like this creator of harmonic tuners and the original thingamajig?
The alchemist and the woman in trousers are set upon from every side as they try to rescue young Copper. Their escapade carries them on alchemically enhanced contraptions like a high-speed road locomotive, as well as Cornelis Drebbel’s grandest invention, the submarine. They are aided by a small green skunk-looking creature as they go to bizarre places to evade their foes and search for Copper’s missing daddy. Alchemy might be a solution, but there’s just one drawback — alchemy often goes awry.
