    Underdog Press 103: The Newest Setting (Western Steampunk)
    Dec 2 2025

    Today, I'll talk about Western Steampunk. My novel, The Engineer's Apprentice, is a Western Steampunk story. We're going to discuss what sets this type of steampunk apart from its older sibling and why I chose to write my story in this setting. Plus we'll include some writing tips.
