One of the neatest things so far about running my magazine Beneath Ceaseless Skies has been getting into steampunk.

I had never read much steampunk at all, but I’ve been sent lots of great steampunk stories. Check out “ Clockwork Heart, Clockwork Soul” by Kris Dikeman, or “Preservation” by Jonathan Wood, or “Kreisler’s Automata” by Matthew David Surridge. And we’ve got several more great ones on the way later this winter.

So when I set out looking for my next cover art for the magazine, I sought out Myke Amend‘s work. I had seen his steampunk airship artwork before, and I’m delighted to have one of those pieces, “Sabicu,” as our new cover art.

Now I need to chase down a steampunk anthology or two. And I think, later this winter, I may try my had at writing some steampunk of my own….
