Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it when others appreciate me! :) I will be happy to, of course. Glide seems really interesting if not unique. Hmm. well, recently, Scott Westerfeld finished his Leviathan trilogy. Really interesting premise so you should check it out. Other authors associated with steampunk that I really admire are Cherie Priest, Neal Stephenson, and K.J. Parker. There are others but those are the three that comes to mind at the moment. Green Sci-Fi is interesting though so it's quite alright to promote it, in my opinion.
