NOTE: This story appears in the steampunk anthology SILVER WINGS. A Civil War naval officer takes a serious wrong turn from American history and washes up on the shores of Penzance in a submarine. Geoffrey is in no hurry to get home, and his new friend Shel - a London tinkerer - hopes to learn more about this giant beast beached near his holiday home, and its handsome officer.
I wrote "Surface Tension" for Silver Wings, put together by Leigh Ellwood for Phaze Books. While I've read and enjoyed a variety of genres, I hadn't before tried to write historical fiction, and Leigh's call proved to encourage me to broaden my horizons.
"Surface Tension" is about a Civil War naval officer who takes a serious wrong turn from American history and washes up on the shores of Penzance in a submarine. He's obviously in no hurry to get home, and his new friend Shel - a tinkerer - hopes to learn more about this giant beast beached near his holiday home. That's not the only thing he wants to get inside!
