Although the The Steampunk Chronicles is targeted at teens, I thought they would be a great way to introduce myself to the world of Steampunk.
The Strange Case of Finley Jayne is The Steampunk Chronicles .5. It's background on Finley Jayne the main character of The Steampunk Chronicles.
In this book short nine chapter book, you fall in love with Finley as you watch her grow and develop into the character that she becomes in The Girl in the Steel Corset. She starts to come into her own finding her strength and protecting those she cares about.
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy.

After reading Kady Crosses first two books in The Steampunk Chronicles I think it is a genre I could really get into. Not sure where this Steampunk adventure will take me, but I'm sure it will be an adventure to remember.

The Girl in the Steel Corset is the first book in The Steampunk Chronicles. And what a book it is. The story picks up not long after the end of The Strange Case of Finley Jayne, but there are twists and turns that you could never expect. In an unexpected turn of events Finley finds herself among an unlikely group that turn into her friends.
Griffin, Emily, Sam, Jasper and Finley embark on an adventure none of them could have imagined. Along the way Finley learns about her mysterious strength. Not to mention throwing in a some fights and a little romance.
The Girl in the Clockwork Collar comes out in May of 2012. I'm pretty pumped to see what new adventures lie in America for the Steampunk Chronicles gang!
