It’s no secret that the need for representation in genre fiction is one of the reasons that I write, and I’m very proud (alongsideĀ Kate Osias and TJ Dimacali among others) to be a part of a Southeast Asian steampunk anthology: The SEA is Ours. The editors/publisher are crowdsourcing funds to help pay writers and artists and possibly fund a teacher’s edition and future installments, so if this resonates with you, any assistance would be appreciated, from donations to spreading the word.
My story is “Between Severed Souls” which is a sequel to “On Wooden Wings” (from PSF6/Steampunk III) and will have an illustration by none other than Borg Sinaban (Mythspace: Unfurling of Wings). You can also get digital copies of (the original) “Alternative Alamat” as one of the perks, if you don’t already have it, or buy a cameo in a Dean Alfar story!
