Automatic Woman by Nathan L. Yocum
Description from Amazon.
The London of 1888, the London of steam engines, Victorian intrigue, and horseless carriages is not a safe place nor simple place…but it’s his place. Jolly is a thief catcher, a door-crashing thug for the prestigious Bow Street Firm, assigned to track down a life sized automatic ballerina.
But when theft turns to murder and murder turns to conspiracy, can Jolly keep his head above water? Can a thief catcher catch a killer?
Fishpunk by Rick Novy
Description from Amazon.
Scholz survives attempts on his life as he tries to deliver the package to his friend’s brother, a Savannah ichthyologist interested in fish-powered machinery--ichthyotech. The situation grows increasingly dire, and Scholz finds himself aboard a riverboat in the Amazon Basin wilderness.
While this novel contains a fast-moving, original story, it is also a tasteful parody of the Steampunk movement. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, as well as a few compulsory bad puns.
Huckleberry's Hail Mary by K A Harris
Description from Amazon.
Eli Grubbs, small town newspaperman turned conscripted Confederate infantry corporal, leads three fellow soldiers through the woods of Central Virginia in the aftermath of the Battle of North Anna. The men are anxious to re-unite with what’s left of their regiment, but as night falls they turn their efforts to finding shelter instead. A well-hidden fissure carved high into a large rock formation offers the weary soldiers sanctuary and rest, but unbeknownst to them, it also hides a terrible secret. When liquor loosens Grubb’s lips, a mysterious Captain Huckleberry pushes all in with a plan to turn the tide of the war in the South’s favor for good.
