Robinette Waterson began writing stories shortly after she learned to read. Given her predilection for literature and history, especially of the Victorian era, it is not surprising that she ventured into the alternative historical style of steampunk. From there, it was just a short detour, down a quaint and dark alleyway, before she found herself writing Victorian steampunk erotica.

"The Tryst" is the second publication in the "Steam Geared" series, with another anthology of interconnected stories due out soon.
