Steampunk Sunday: Flash of Copper

My latest collection of short stories came out just in time for a Steampunk Sunday post! Awesome!

This collection has 4 stories that have previously appeared on my blog and 4 more that have never been seen before.

The stories are:

God of the Waves
Copper Explorations 
Adam the Automaton
The Luckiest Man in the Jungle
Harnessing Lightning
The Mad Professor 
Children of Obsession
Before the End

Of course, all of these are part of the Copper Visions universe, which will be continued in 2014.

Flash of Copper is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble right now and I’m working on making a print version available in 2014, as well.

Steampunk Wednesday

More inspiration to get people ready for the coming feature.

Today's video is Honeybee from Steam Powered Giraffe.

Yep, I've posted these guys before and I still love them. In fact, they inspired this piece from a while back. There's been some changes around in the cast and I'm really looking forward to videos with the new robot, Hatchworth.

Steampunk Sunday: Steam Powered Giraffe

I really have no idea how these guys aren't bigger in the Steampunk community. The songs are catchy and the performance is fantastic.

From their website:

The robots of Steam Powered Giraffe are like nothing you've ever seen. The malfunctioning joke-spewing metal men play a collection of original Vaudeville inspired tunes fused with modern flare and executed in a super-sleek, one-of-a-kind performance.

Trained in pantomime by Seaport Village mime Jerry Hager, with collective backgrounds in clown, theatre, music, and visual design, Jon Sprague, and the Bennett twins Christopher and David have sculpted a striking homegrown performance that will leave you tapping your feet and humming for days.
