Steampunk Hits the Mainstream--Mention at Tor.com



Ay-leen at Tor.com write a fantastic article about the press release from IBM’s Social Sentiment Index predicting that steampunk will be a retail trend from 2013 – 2015

The article gives a great perspective on the Steampunk culture, and makes many excellent points about what draws such a wide range of people. "One of the main attractions of steampunk as a creative community, however, is the democratization of the artisan lifestyle. You didn’t have be a “professional.”"
It also give five things that steampunk hitting the mainstream can do (and is already doing), besides changing their fashion choices. Ay-leen even gives Steampunk Holmes a generous mention in #4: Steampunk revitalizes old-fashioned storytelling in new ways.

Hello chaps and lassies! Wondering where to find the non-interactive version of Steampunk Holmes?
Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus is available on Amazon:
Kindle or a beautiful paperback and excellent audio.
Or you can find it on Goodreads.

What people are saying about it:


"The story itself is a good mystery – I was somewhere between Holmes and Watson in figuring it out – and of course showcases Holmes’s amazing powers of deduction. It reads much like an original Sherlock story, with more action, and flows quickly, particularly as things heat up in the second half of the book." -Bookshelf Bombshells

"This is to be only the beginning of a series of books in this inventive and tantalizing world." -Amanda from Goodreads

"This story takes all the wonders of a steampunk world, sci-fi, and Sherlock Holmes and mixes them into a immensely enjoyable action-packed story." -Scott Wakefield, author of Steam Patriots
