The Reviews So Far
Okay, so I've tried a number of blogging sites and haven't really got on with any of them. Either they were too time consuming to set up or they lacked the "blog on the go" features I wanted. This, though, looks promising, so here we go.
An intro: I am Mark Hodder, author of the Burton & Swinburne novels; currently THE STRANGE AFFAIR OF SPRING HEELED JACK (Pyr US, Snowbooks UK) and THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE CLOCKWORK MAN (due in March 2011 from Pyr and Snowbooks). The third title is currently EXPEDITION TO THE MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON, though I'm regarding that as a "holding title" for the moment. I may change it.
I began EXPEDITION TO THE MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON last week and have around 15,000 words written so far. As with the previous two stories, it is set in the late 1800s ... mostly. (?) (?) (!!!)
These three novels fit into the STEAMPUNK genre, though there's a serious strand of sci-fi running through them, along with detection and a smudge of comedy.
THE STRANGE AFFAIR OF SPRING HEELED JACK has earned some seriously good reviews (yay!). Here are a few:
