Nicky Barber as Mycroft Holmes!

Introducing Nicky Barber as Mycroft Holmes.  This was one of the most challenging characters to cast for the audiobook.  We auditioned over 60 female voice actors over the course of a month and Nicky was a solid win!

Nicky has recorded many documentaries and shows for Discover Channel, commercials, and audiobooks.  Most recently she worked with Ridley Scott (you know as in 'Bladerunner', 'Thelma & Louise', 'Black Hawk Down', and 'Gladiator') on a Science Channel documentary.  Welcome to the team, Nicky!

Hannah Melbourn as Victoria Valentine

I would like to introduce Hannah Melbourn to everyone. She is the voice of Victoria Valentine for the audiobook version Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus.  In addition to having done a number of commercials, Hannah has narrated a series of other audiobook as well as educational videos for teenagers.  Her voice is absolutely perfect for Victoria who is a young, intelligent, and resourceful (to put it nicely) young woman.

Steampunk Holmes free for "Read an E-Book Month"!

UPDATE 3/11/2012

All we can say is, "Wow!"  Our free give-away in celebration of "Read an E-Book" month was really successful!  What we noticed was that our "sales" were 20 times greater than when the book was priced at $2.99!

As a result, we have to ask ourselves: What is more important making money on the ePUB version of Steampunk Holmes or gaining awareness?  We would like to do both (P.C. Martin has to eat you know) but we want people to try out the book, get hooked, and hopefully buy the sequels.  In a fit of compromise we've lowered the price of the book to $0.99 making it cheap enough for folks to try out yet allowing us to make a little money and pay P.C. Martin some royalties.

You can buy Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus eBook for $0.99 at Smashwords.com right now.  Download it, read it, and spread the word!
