Discovering Steampunk Books

There are lots of tools that make publishing easy, which is great in many ways, but it can make discovering new books a real challenge. Online bookstores such as Amazon, Kobo, and Smashwords have a lot of books available, but what do you do if you want to browse a shelf of books and discover something new? Fortunately, there are some kind folks who make the time to curate collections of books for you to browse on the web.

One such collection is the Empire Booksellers Page which features books by members of The Steampunk Empire. You’ll find short story collections, graphic novels, novellas and series by independent and small press authors you might have missed in other venues. I’m honored to say the Empire Booksellers features the Clockwork Legion series.

You don’t have to be a member of The Steampunk Empire to browse the Empire Booksellers, but you’d be missing out. I have found The Steampunk Empire to be a great site to share photos from steampunk events, talk to people about steampunk books, music, writing, and events. I hope you’ll drop by and look me up while you’re there. My page is at: http://www.thesteampunkempire.com/profile/DavidLeeSummers

While I’m mentioning steampunk books, the Tucson Steampunk Society Book Club is reading Lightning Wolves this month. They are meeting at Antigone Books at 411 N. 4th Avenue in Tucson at 3:30 pm tomorrow (Sunday, May 12). I will be there to discuss the book with the club members and perhaps prevent a few non-spoilery previews from The Brazen Shark. If you like steampunk books and live in Tucson, please drop by! I’m sure the club would love to have new members. They always have a great selection of steampunk books to read and discuss. I just wish my crazy schedule would allow me to drop in more often!
