I've found steampunk by randomly choosing some authors, though I have been disappointed with the books I've chosen so far. Still, I'm only on number 4, so there's hope yet!


Frances - I saw you had Cherie Priest on your list. I enjoyed her series very much, and it has ZOMBIES. I don't think I saw Gail Carriger on your list; her novel "Soulless" is a light-hearted romp through Victorian England, and has Werewolves, and vampires (but is infinity better than that twaddle known as "Twilight". I adore Steampunk and have read all the novels in both of these series. You might also try a YA series by Scott Westerfeld staring with "Leviathan", although that is not a WOGF novel. "The Alchemy of Stone" by Ekaterina Sedia is another WOGF steampunk novel you might try. Oh Yeah, if you have not read "Steampunk" edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer, you should try that. It is a collection of short stories all about , you guessed it! And now that I have vomited all this info over this forum page. I say good luck!
