Once Upon a Time in the Weird West, a spec fic and steampunk anthology coming out on December 16th by Dreamspinner Press, will be starting its blog tour this week! 13 awesome authors got together and wrote to a very simple prompt: weird west. Here's what we came up with!

This isn't the same old Wild West. The usual suspects are all present: cowboys, outlaws, and sheriffs. There's plenty of dust, tumbleweeds, horses, and cattle on the range, but there are also magical gems, automatons, elementals, airships... even dinosaurs and genetically modified insects. Roaming among the buffalo and coyotes, you'll encounter skinwalkers, mad engineers, mythical beings cloaked in darkness, and lovers who stay true to their oaths... even from beyond the grave. On this frontier are those at the mercy of their own elaborate devices as well as men whose control of time and space provides a present-day vision of the West. There might even be a dragon hidden amongst the ghost towns and wagon trains.
If you like your Westerns with a splash of magic, a touch of steampunk, and plenty of passionate romance between men, these genre-bending tales will exceed expectations.
Hold on to your hats, cowboys and cowgirls. The West is about to get weird, and you're in for a hell of a ride.

My contribution is a Steampunk short entitled, Gunner the Deadly.
Special Agent Gillian Hamilton is one of the top magic casters in law enforcement. Sent to Shallow Grave, Arizona to arrest a madman engineer responsible for blowing up half of Baltimore, Gillian isn't expecting a run-in with notorious outlaw, Gunner the Deadly.
Gillian and Gunner become temporary teammates when it turns out they're after the same man. The Tinkerer will stop at nothing to get rid of the two so he can steal the town's silver mines and build an army of steam machines to take down the country. If facing Gatling guns, airships, and magic wasn't enough, Gillian must also struggle with the notion that he's rather fond of his criminal partner. But perhaps a union between copper and outlaw isn't so weird, out in the wild and lawless West.
