  • Underdog Press 101: Steampunk Themes Part 1

    Underdog Press 101: Steampunk Themes Part 1
    Nov 6 2025

    We'll discuss steampunk stories in this first of a three part series. The goal is to understand the themes of steampunk and which ones work best with the genre. I started here because my first novel, The Engineer's Apprentice, is a steampunk novel.
