Description: speculative fiction technique & analysis
I’m pleased to announce that my story, “Legend of the Secret Masterpiece,” will appear in the upcoming steampunk-wuxia anthology, Shanghai Steam . It’ll be released at World Fantasy Convention, November 1-4, 2012.
From ancient China to a future Mars, from the British Empire to the Old West, 19 authors show you worlds with alcohol fuelled dragons, philosophical automatons, and Qi-powered machines both wondrous and strange in tales of vengeance, paper lantern revolutions, and flying monks.
Shanghai Steam is a unique mashup of steampunk and the Chinese literary genre known as Wuxia (loosely translated as martial hero).
