[From the press release:] In Shadow Conspiracy II, Book View Café serves up eleven brand new tales of adventure and intrigue in the age of steam. BVC authors offer eleven different scenarios based on the Ada Lovelace/Charles Babbage premise introduced in the first collection. The soul of a poet who would be king continues to seek immortality. Will it find a home, and if so, will that home be flesh or steel? 
 
Shadow Conspiracy II has all the gadgets, adventure and romance of the steampunk promise with an added bonus: the volume includes a story from the 2010 Philip K. Dick Award-winning C.L. Anderson. Campbell Award nominee Katharine Eliska Kimbriel and World Fantasy Award nominee Judith Tarr have also donated stories. 
 
Shadow Conspiracy II is available in the Kindle store ($4.99), or in multiple formats at the publisher’s website ($4.99).
