Steampunk Pirate

A chapbook collection of new poetry, read by the author, celebrating both the swashbuckling adventure tales of the age of piracy, as well as the fantasy world of steampunk and Victorian fiction.

Meet George, the third Lord of Devonshire and the unluckiest boy in London. Why is George so unlucky? First, he's an orphan. Second, unless he sells everything, he's about to lose his house.

Together they navigate through the hustle and bustle of Upper City, figure out how to survive the clutches of a wind tunnel, and duel against a horrid leader who will stop at nothing to destroy the one destined to bring him down.
