61kc2VV+MoL__SL500_SX300_I’m intrigued when any writer blasts their characters out of the Victorian, or other historical era, and into outer space. Edgar Allan Poe did it with The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaallin in 1835, Jules Verne followed with The Earth To the Moon in 1865, and in 1901 H. G. Wells wrote The First Men In The Moon.  These Regency/Victorian/Edwardian tales offer great inspiration for modern steampunk writers. Jules Verne’s The Earth To The Moon was one of my greatest inspirations for Conquistadors In Outer Space.

1889I asked the authors of the new book 1889 Journey To the Moon, George Wier and Billy Kring, what inspired them to take their Steampunk story into outer space?

George: First of all, we really should have been in space (and I’m not talking about NASA or the ESA, I’m talking about ALL of us) a damn long time ago. All we’re doing here is…

What an Amazing Story ... you won't be able to put it down.

Nicboth: The Journey Begins [Kindle Edition]
Cleve Sylcox (Author), Elizabeth Mackey (Illustrator)

Imagine a mountain where Angels go to rest.
It is in another dimension hidden from human eyes, accessible only by divine guidance. Now, imagine demons fighting demons, fallen angels seeking to regain their former glory by returning to God, but stopped by demonic forces beyond their control. Add in the human element of curiosity, greed, and lust for power and you have, Nicboth – The Journey Begins.

Four humans stumble upon an old chest in an abandoned ammo dump. In it rest the secrets of the past, forsaken, but not forgotten. Two more humans, half way around the world, seek to unravel a mystery to a mountain where angels dwell. Their paths interlock as they strike out against a demon – General Que, whose strength is only matched by his desire to destroy all human life.

Fomorian Earth: Star Borne: 1 [Kindle Edition]
Lars Bergen (Author), Sharon Delarose (Author)

1500 BC — The Isle of Destiny is overrun by Fomorian giants who tower over the puny Humans and Fenn. The giants are untouchable until the starship Vireo, carrying an advanced race of humanoids with piercing blue eyes, comes crashing to Earth on the eve of Samhain, the bloodiest pagan festival of the year.

The Fomorian giants interpret their arrival as the prophesied Destroyer. Fomorian mission: seek and destroy whatever fell to Earth. Starship mission: stay alive.

Caught in the midst is ship’s officer Brigit, stranded on Earth on the way to her wedding, and one of the barbarian giants has his eye on her. These barbaric giants won’t hesitate to throw you into the sacrificial fire to honor their god Moloch, and they’ll cut off your nose if you don’t pay tribute.

Will Brigit be rescued by her fiance in space, who desperately searches for the lost starship? Or will she fall into the hands of giants, ruled by Balor of the Evil Eye?

Five humanoid races are plunged into a battle for supremacy — Fomorian giants, Bigfoots, Humans, extraterrestrial Tirnogians, and Fenn dwarves — as a child of prophecy lives hidden in the shadows, waiting to fulfill his destiny.

Past meets future in this tale of giants, dwarves, starships, and medieval warriors.
