“Machinepunk for the New Renaissance”

The story of a Leonardo da Vinci airship that could have changed history. DESCRIPTION: MACHINE OF GOD chronicles the little-known journey of Leonardo da Vinci’s Macchina Fantastica, the ingenious trade vessel he designed and built for King Louis XI of France which, against all odds, traversed the land, sea, and air between Naples and Paris, only to fall into a pile of ashes within a mile of its destination. This rollicking, yet intelligent yarn will appeal to boys (of all ages), and the women who love them.

India Rose & The Eternals - The Fountain Of Youth Chronicles Vol. 1 by TincanCaldwell
25 parts Complete
For fans of the Harry Potter universe, LOST and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: What if that really was the Mona Lisa that India Rose saw walking around her small, Maine town? What if her father's innocent bedtime stories of hidden mysteries below the river and secret identities of ordinary citizens were more than mere fairy tales? Why did her essay on her town's history make a few select town officials so angry? And why was young Finn and his master (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Leonardo da Vinci) sent across the sea to the new world on a mission to protect "the secret" that his order has been charged to guard? Told over the course of almost one hundred years and multiple continents, India Rose and the Eternals tells the parallel stories, told in concurrent chapters, of twelve-year-old India Rose and two-hundred-and twelve-year-old Finnegan Rufus Magondolovich (don't ask him about his middle or last names) who are both struggling to understand the upheaval in their own little worlds. Add to this the sinister Man In The Brown Hat and his shadowy organization, who are chasing Finn and his master across the globe, an oil spill that threatens India's coastal town, a stern Head Librarian who seems to have it in for India, and India Rose and the Eternals packs enough adventure and hairpin turns to keep readers turning pages. With strong themes of using your gifts and abilities for the good of others and the rise, use and abuse of technology, India Rose and the Eternals is the opening salvo in the expansive Water Chronicles universe, a series that takes contemporary notions of history and re-examines them.
SKY OF PAPER: AN ASIAN STEAMPUNK FANTASY by MattTheNovelist
76 parts Complete
An intimate fantasy tale, told in the stylings of an epic Asian drama, inspired by sweeping Chinese tragic story-telling, and dressed in a fictional fusion of Far Eastern mysticism and elements of steam culture. Turn the silk veil on a world forbidden from common eyes where children sail airships across the sky, a young emperor faces the tattered remains of his empire, a warlord stands on the brink of total conquest, and a gifted young boy embarks on a remarkable odyssey of triumph and sacrifice. Terr hardly knew the incredible future that awaited him when, for the first time, he laid his eyes upon the ether, a mysterious force visible only to a special group of children who are endowed with the divine ability to levitate airships and change the very will of the sky itself. Like all those who shared in his supernatural talents, he would be thrust into a secret world steeped in oriental traditions, be revered by monks and priests, sold by eager merchants, and abused by a rebellious military, lead by an ambitious warlord that would seek to unite all under heaven. In his sadly fallible, yet all-too-human journey, he would face the corruption of the Imperial Courts, be thrown into banishment as the servant of an exiled son of the Imperial Family, and eventually suffer the terrible horrors of a world war, which threatens to end all he holds dear. But as Terr and his dying country careen into the depths of a world torn by vengeance and prejudice, he would come to discover that even a humble child of the sky can still change the course of fate.

Enter Abyss

51 parts Complete

A battle for the throne, a prophecy, an inventor, and a game of life and death. Enter Mafaria; a world that has outlived its time of castles and knights and has moved to an era of technology powered by steam. Though for all their ingenious inventions, the people are enslaved to the Abyss keepers-- terrible worshipers of the abyss that sits near the edge of their city. The Abyss is said to have been a punishment from the gods; each day swallowing a bit more of the city. Yet to please the Abyss, one human is lowered as sacrifice and joins those known as the Lost. But when a young inventor dares to defy the law, he finds that all is not what it seems and he dares...to enter the Abyss. Note; The cover for this book was made by me
