Fantasy Steampunk

Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette. Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire -- and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate.

With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?

SOULLESS is a comedy of manners set in Victorian London: full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.

Re: Soulless

I have never heard the term "steampunk". You say it's been around a while, wow I feel like I lived in a cave. I guess the saying is true "you're never to old to learn something new". Informative blog, thanks

I have never heard this term either, I have certainly learned something today.

Steampunk makes me think of tatooed teen riding around in a Stanley Steamer. This was the first time I ever heard the word but my thoughts were fairly close.

Steam punk makes me think of THE TIME MACHINE and 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, if my understanding of the genre is correct. Have heard about it a bit lately, but not read it.

Steampunk is new to me. It sounds interesting. Thanks for the introduction.

I've never heard of steampunk at all but then I'm still not sure what "meme" means.

Can it be? An authorphoto with *gasp* nose and lips visible? Not ensconsed behind a tome or teacup?

Should have happened sooner. That's a flattering shade of lipstick.

a girlfriend of mine recently turned me on both your books and the genre and I love them both. I cant wait to read Timeless now. :^)

Gail, I live in a small southern town that is the equivalent of a modern day Mayberry. There isn't a lot of opportunity to express my new found steampunk self without being considered more odd and eccentric then already am. could you give me any ideas how I could integrate it into my mundane life? Thanks Gail. please keep writing.

Just discovered this author (where have I been!?) and
immediately downloaded all her books. Brilliant!
