...and so a ginormous hedgehog named Norm accosted me as I went out to me mailbox to get this morning's post.
I kid you not. He was a humungous hedgehog.
He says to me, Norm that is, and he looks me in the eye with his blazing red eyes and he bustles his spines and says to me.
I stood there agog. Imagine a hedgehog ordering em about.
And poof-ety poof he disappeared in a flash. Norm. ha!
And so, says I to meself as I walked back to me warm kitchen and whistling tea kettle, I must get meself to the keyboard and type fast.
Fast I say.
Faster than the speed of light.
For who knows what a very (extra) large (angry) hedgehog (named Norm) might do if not obeyed.
Mind you, I might find meself in a pickle either squashed or speared by a prickly spine.
So, here goes, no foolin'

ReplyDeleteI have read quite a lot of steampunk and enjoyed most of them, although I find the YA ones don't do such a good job of worldbuilding.
The last I read was Cherie Priests' Boneshaker

No, I haven't, although I'd love to change that. There seem to be a lot of fabulous ones out there nowadays.
ReplyDeleterachybee101@live.com.au
Norm is quite an enterprising hedgehog, isn't he? I admire his spunk. Yes, I've read a number of steampunk novels, including, Thunderer by Felix Gilman, Thomas Riley by Nick Valentino, The Difference Engine, Perdito Street Station by China Mieville, along with many short stories and a couple of steampunk anthologies. I was so inspired about this exciting genre that I published a special steampunk issue of my magazine Fissure, (which offers experimental writing), and I'm working on a steampunk novel as well.

I've never read a book from the steampunk sub genre, but i've been curious for awhile about it.
ReplyDeletecoffeebooksandlaundry(at)gmail.com
I *don't think* I've read any books in that genre yet. I'm curious about it, but still a little confused as to what would fall into the category exactly. People seem to have slightly different definitions of the genre. Ah well, I'll figure it out eventually :p
