The Possibilities

I'm researching/brainstorming my newest idea for a novel. It will be steampunk this time, and I found some rockin' pics.

Hello, dearie. You just may be my inspiration for my female lead.

Oh! The hair! The goggles, the clothes, the wires, the gloves. But my story will take place in Russia. Hmm.


I think I need these shoes. Grayman would love them. Right?


Goggles. I need.


Oh, I forgot. Not shopping--brainstorming apparel for the characters for my book. But hey, I'd look pretty sweet showing up at playgroup with my heels and goggles... now to find some weapon pics.

No! No! I didn't mean that. No weapons for playgroup. Steampunk novel pics.

*Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy, that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era Britain[citation needed] — but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine); these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.
