Very Short Fiction and Poetry in Wreathed in Steam

I included one very short piece of fiction, “Paint Pots,” in Wreathed and Steam, which is a gaslamp fantasy style piece of microfiction about a magical painter.

I also have a number of poems in this collection, which vary between steampunk and gaslamp fantasy. Some of my personal favorites are two involving ghosts: “My Josephine” and “The Last Days of the Ghost Shipwrights.” The former is from the perspective of a mother who has died and is looking in on her child, while the latter is about the interplay between ghost and human shipwrights.

Many of the poems in Wreathed and Steam are only available in this collection, and “Paint Pots” is similarly only available here.
