The United States wasn’t the only nation expanding westward. And Imperial Britain was a rapacious beast. I might have to get to some research. There are some interesting ideas to poke at there, too.

It grabbed me right away – I’m way impressed with Briar Wilkes as a character, and am really loving the book! Can’t wait to get home tonight and pick it up again!

The trouble is that I love me some steampunk and zombies both. Now where to put you….

Great read. It was the first Cherie Priest book I’ve read, but I will most likely now read the rest of her novels.

I’ve reviewed it at my blog: http://www.bookswim.com/blog/a-pre-interview-book-review/2009/10/12/

Great job Cherie!

Having equal love for dirigibles, zombies, and Seattle this book is perfect for me.

Nice job!

For extra fun? It is published as Volume I of II, and was published in 1862. I do not own Volume II.

Apparently it was rereleased in one volume in 1866 – http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=moa;idno=ACP6798

Actually, I am 99.99% sure it was Joe Hill on his blog. This was before I knew who Scalzi was (I’d never visited his blog) and you and your writing were mentioned on Joe’s blog.. I went to Mr. Hill’s site, but most of his old posts got erased when the site crashed and had to be redone, so I couldn’t find the article in question.

I remember thinking you were a writer I had to check out because I love Mr. Hill’s writing and it seemed like high praise coming from him. Anyways, keep on doing what you do.

I received my copy yesterday and it’s about third on the queueue. I am *so* looking forward to reading this book!

I’m glad you’re enjoying what you’re reading, and I hope you like Boneshaker, too.

Yes, Dear Mr. Scalzi has been immensely supportive, for which I am very grateful. He is (and let’s be honest here) pretty darn groovy.

But what’s this re: Mr. Hill? Surely you don’t mean Joe Hill? Whose stuff I totally love with a nerdy-girl love that gets dorkier all the while? I’m certain you must mean a different Mr. Hill. Yes. That must be the case… Still. Gave me a jolt there for a minute.

I’ve wanted to read your stuff for a long time. Some of my favorite authors (Mr. Hill and Mr. Scalzi) have raved about it, but I’ve just been busy with a huge to-read pile. Well, Boneshaker came out and I finally had to give in.

I ordered Boneshaker and picked up Four and Twenty Blackbirds to read while I wait for its arrival. I started Four and Twenty early this afternoon and have had trouble putting it down. If you bring the same kind of freshness and inventiveness to steampunk that you do the Souther gothic genre, Boneshaker is going to be an outstanding book.

Enough fan ranting, just wanted to say how much I was enjoying the book and how pleased I am to see that you have quite a few books in publication already.
