Description
I first introduced Cloud Runner in September of last year, but the actual work was created almost two years ago. Over time, many people have expressed enjoying the piece, but Jack Tyler (AKA: Blimprider), one of my fellow-members on Steampunk Empire, took it one step further ...
Jack was inspired to expand upon a passing character in volume I of his Beyond the Rails series (part of The Blimprider Chronicles), and focus an entire volume on the exploits of Abigail 'Jinx' Jenkins; a woman of "ambiguous morals," whose "motivations are less than clear." Jack plans to take his character and readers, "on the ride of a lifetime." So from this day on, the Cloud Runner is also to be known as Jinxed.
Jack sent me a mini-blurb to post until the final blurb is ready. The final blurb will be on the Jinxed page on my website for those reading this in the future.
mini-blurb:
Life in the African colonies was a difficult proposition in 1884, and the crew of the Kestrel had long faced a dangerous life on the far edge of the harsh environment. They could little imagine how much more dangerous it would become when an old acquaintance returns with an unbelievable story.
Keep an eye out for this series. Plans to release volume II before Christmas and volume III next summer promised to keep us entertained for quite some time. :D
Start the adventure with volume I ...
Beyond the Rails: Six tales of steampunk adventure on the African frontier (Volume 1) ... on Amazon.

Very cool cover work the story looks intriguing
Bravo! Well done, the tidbit on the stories beginning and how you laid out that mock book cover, absolutely brilliant!
I don't do mock covers (too busy - I do this for a living). I created the art a while back and had it posted on my site as available for publishing rights for a book. The author is a fan of my work on a couple Ning networks and messaged me to get purchase info. After a week, we were is business. This is his actual cover. He's posted it on his blog, too: http://steampunkjack.weebly.com/blog
