Goodreads asked Mike Sutton:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Mike Sutton While scouring the net for an agent for a previous project(didn't find one) I came across someone who was looking to represent Steampunk novels. I like the steampunk Genre and the foundations on which it is built, so I decided to jump in and give it a shot.

The book was a blast to write, and so far my readers have told me it is a fun and exciting story.

Smoke and Lightning is ironically the only book that I've written that currently isn't available for sale. Originally it was supposed to be a historical(Set late 1800s after Napoleon conquered the English Empire) alternate-earth fantasy(magic) novel. Which is overly complicated. So I pulled it back to revise it and go straight steampunk fantasy.
