Of course, I love London as a setting anyway ;o) I agree that the font makes it - it makes me realise how much font makes self-published books look amateurish. Wheeee! It's so exciting! I *love* it.

I really do hope it sells well, can't wait to secure my own digital copy. I really should properly document the 'brown effect' some day... maybe that's a good idea for a blog post! Haha, no probs.

I like the definition of steampunk that says it's an alternate world genre in which certain scientific and technological advances have been made one or two hundred years ahead of their time. You also get a weird fantasy version of the genre in which there's a kind of clockwork magic going on (like Golden Compass or Perdido St Station). My book is like neither of these, but it does put some time travellers from 2050 into Edwardian London, juxtaposing the technologies - and manners - of the different times. So there's a bit of a steampunk flavour to parts of the book. J-A, ‘steampunky’ is a better description.

I'm so relieved that you guys like it! Since I have almost no control over the cover art, it's really down to the publisher to get it right. In this case, they surprised me with something I wouldn't have thought of, but still did a good job. Ruzkin, thank you for letting me know about the "brown effect". Now, if the book doesn't sell, I'll have something to blame it on. ;-) Thank you one and all. I’m so relieved that you guys like it!
