Hey everyone - I'm not normally one for self promotion (waaaay too introverted for that) but I managed to overcome my inhibited Englishness to at least post this. I'm kicking off a new imprint called Twin Monocle Publishing which covers all things speculative and weird. One of the things I'm planning is a steampunk adventure series called 'The Positively True Adventures of Albion Roddles, Cave-Gentleman of Renown', whose first adventure is 'The Ripper's Grip'.
I'm giving away the first book for absolutely free for some unknown reason. All you have to do is sign up to the mailing list and you'll receive directions to download the ebook in the format of your choice. And that's it. I'm not asking for reviews and I promise not to spam your inbox, I just want to get the name out there, and this seems like the right community to get started.
The book itself is a humorous yet dark and satirical re-appropriation of steampunk tropes written in a cod-Victorian style. As you might have deduced from the long winded title it features a protagonist who is a little different from your standard Phileas Fogg/Sherlock archetype. I hope you like it.
If you're still on the fence (committing to downloading a free book can take a lot of deliberation) you can find a brief sample on my site here:
