Alternative history is a wonderfully fertile area that rewards active imaginations! |
That sounds like a very interesting premise. Brilliant, in fact. I look forward to reading it.
I myself am writing a "Steampunk" novel. It concerns the adventures of Artemis Appleby, a Holmesian detective, and his son. I'm writing it as children's book because I feel the genre of steampunk is woefully underrepresented in children's literature. There are so many possiblities with this genre! It's high adventure with a capital H!
