I love something with a dash of Steampunk. Or a whole cup. As a result, I’m a big fan of the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences. The organization, created for a series of wonderful books by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris, investigates supernatural happenings in Victorian England and around the world. I was invited to include this story in one of their shared world collections. Once I received the rights back, I changed some of the details to remove the connections per our agreement, but this retains the heart and soul of that world.
