Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel: A Mormon Steampunk Anthology #2

2019 Golden Quill Award

Pioneers come from more than one mold. Steampunk often champions a view of the indomitable human spirit thrust into a world of gears, brass, airships, & goggles. Mormon pioneers did amazing things with their attitude of self-sufficiency buoyed by faith. Combine the two and you get fanciful tales of overcoming terrific challenges in a host of creative ways.

Herein you will find thirteen stories to tickle your fancy, each with a unique take on combining the science of steampunk with the strength & attitudes of the pioneers who migrated to what would later become Utah. 

Prepare yourself for flying goats, midnight invasions, missing memories, Porter Rockwell, mystery, pirates, robots, ancient history, more robots, circular reasoning, ghosts, & ginger ale. These authors cover a lot of ground, & I’m sure you’ll enjoy the trip.
