Nova Albion is delighted to bring you a rising star in the Steampunk world – the wonderfully talented and quite well-spoken (and well-written) Ms. Cherie Priest –  our 2011 Literary Guest of Honor!

You will of course know Cherie as the author(-ess ) of Boneshaker, [See what bOING bOING and i09 have to say], which has quite taken Sci-Fi lit by storm and brought many new and unsuspecting folk into the Steampunk fold. You also may have read more of her offerings… perhaps you’ve seen a mention of her forthcoming novel, Clementine (of which the esteemed Warren Ellis, in good company with many other authors, seems to be a fan) or wanted to puzzle out which book really is the “sequel to Boneshaker”. Well, puzzle no more, my friends. Cherie will be here in March, and (while it is a wait, I know, and we are none of us, perhaps, known for our patience), you shall be able to ask her yourself! In the meanwhile, I highly recommend perusing Cherie’s sites in the aether. That way, you can hear what she has to say about her writing, appearances, thoughts and life in general… and better than we can, because, well… she writes for a living…

You know how you always think you’ll just have the site back up after a weekend’s work and it never, ever goes that way? We’re sort of in that space right now, so it might not be the prettiest flower in the garden, but the buttons work and the lights blink and by any measure of 1860′s technology (just give us this, okay?), we’re up and running.

Over the next couple of weeks, although by Tesla I really hope it doesn’t take that long, you’ll see this site move from an actual eye sore to something that’s more of an acquired taste, which will actually be something of a triumph.

Thanks for your patience.

It happens to the best of websites and it happened to us as well.  Please bear with us as we rebuild this site from scratch.

(Please note – all of the buttons and pages on the site ARE working! We just need to add more and pretty it up again for you!)
