Many moons ago I woke up with a fully formed Steampunk story in my head. It seemed a good idea to write it down and after my good friend Ben Henderson booked me to read it out at one of his Convivial events I did so. Well one thing led to another and before I knew it I'd finished a collection of 10 Steampunk short stories and published my first book on Amazon. This featured artwork by Frog Morris which was splendid, but in other ways it wasn't quite right. For a start there were no page numbers, no index and no foreword. Also, there was more than the odd typo that really needed correcting. Well due to another of my Tales Of New Albion side-projects I re-read all 10 stories for my podcast, which helped me correct most of the problems. I also was greatly assisted by John "Jags" Smith who also read through the entire manuscript and added comments.
So the stories were there now, but I still wanted more. I got Frog to tweak his artwork and create a new chapter divider. I also got the aforementioned Ben Henderson to submit a brand spanking new foreword. I even managed to figure out how to create page numbers!
And so the 2nd Edition of Tales Of New Albion came into being and you can be a proud owner at any point. Just follow this link and order your copy now.
Or see you at the Red Cape Publishing Book Fayre (8th June - Brighton Unitarian Church) where you can inspect the product closely and get your copy signed. Oh and did I mention there is an album of original music by Charlotte Savigar also available? Well it is.
