Some other words:
I'm really excited to have Kevin introduce this anthology, since it makes more sense to have a queer person introduce a queer steampunk anthology.
Nisi Shawl's story is set in the same universe as the one she's developing for her upcoming Belgian Congo steampunk novel.
And I'm just fucking psyched to see three Malaysians (myself, Stephanie and Zen) in a single anthology, which is even more hilarious because we don't all live in Malaysia.
If you'd like to review Steam-Powered 2, fire me an email and I'll forward you to our wonderful editor, JoSelle Vanderhooft, for an eARC!
