It helps to have visuals when writing steampunk.

And don’t forget to check out the winners of the Sinner’s Gin World Tour. Check to see if your name is on the list! You get a city AND an ebook ARC of Whiskey and Wry!
Well, this was honestly the most difficult contest I’ve ever run because there was such a huge response and GOD I wanted to give you all a city. I really did.
I have chosen EIGHTEEN tour managers for Sinner Gin’s World Tour. They will get to decide 18 of the stops the band makes. I already have a few on hold so we’ll hopefully hit every continent.
The list is as follows. If you see your name, please list your city here then email me at rhysford (at) vitaenoir (dot) com about your ARC. If you’ve preordered Whiskey and Wry, I can substitute out something else. If you are a First or Second Beta, I…um…shit, I’ve got nothing. Um…email me anyway and we DEFINITELY will work something out. *grins*
Thank you all for entering. Really, I was so surprised to see the responses. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy the book!

Now to celebrate… I’m including an excerpt of Whiskey and Wry…which I am hiding under a cut for people who don’t want spoilers.
In other news, the steampunk short story? Yeah, that’s been optioned for a novella so I’m working on filling in the spots I hated leaving limp. *does happy dance* I have no idea what I’m doing with it. Really. So wish me luck. *grins* It at least has an ending.
And a hairless cat. *laughs*
