I’m a sucker for comedy science fiction so this free ebook is going straight onto my reading list.
It’s the first in a series of four books, and is being given away for free which is a price I like. Obviously this is now becoming a common method of promoting a series/author and one that I [...]

The people over at SteamPunk Magaine produce a very professional publication celebrating and discussing all things steampunk. They [...]
