I have finished the novel Black Iron.

No, it’s not a novel about polyamory. It’s part heist caper, part political intrigue, set in an alternate 1855 London in a world where Queen Victoria doesn’t exist, the Protestant Reformation didn’t happen, and the British don’t drink tea. (But there’s still a war in Afghanistan, because there’s always war in Afghanistan.)

To get a sense of what it’s like, think of Terry Pratchett had read too much George RR Martin as a child and you’ll have a general idea.

I’ve launched a Web site about it. I’m also really excited about the cover concept art by the phenomenally talented Julie Dillon.

And you can get an early copy, before it’s on the shelves! Just support the crowdfunding here. There’s all sorts of cool stuff you can get besides just the book!
