I’ve just started podcasting a new short story, “Clockwork Fagin,” which is to be published in Kelly Link and Gavin Grant’s anthology of young adult steampunk for Candlewick Press. The story is about a group of children who are put in a home after being caught in the machineries of the information revolution, who kill their cruel master and replace him with a clockwork automaton. It runs to about 12,500 and I’ll probably read it in four or five weekly installments.
