Dieselpunk Driver?

A photograph from an era before the advent of the windshield. Back in 1904 driving meant the serious risk of taking a rock to the eye, hence drivers wore hefty goggles. The automobile this young fellow is Earl H. Kiser and he sits astride is the Winton Bullet No. 2 (I'll be posting a Winton ad as part of my Sunday Drive series soon) posing for a photograph to commemorate setting a land speed record.

When I came across the photograph I had to air it. Having a short story featured in the anthology Diesel Punk by Twit Publishing it only seemed right!

Twit Publishing - Dieselpunk Anthology Release Date Announced

Twit Publishing's long awaited Dieselpunk Anthology will be released on February 11, 2014. I've always loved the feel of dieselpunk, something about the grit and oil appeals to me even though I have very little mechanical aptitude. I'm particularly excited about this anthology because it's put out by a great, independent bunch of publishers and, of course, because it will feature one of my H. P. Lovecraft-inspired tale, The Incident at Sycamore Ridge.

Please, help the independents and spread the word about this great anthology. I also invite you to grab a copy as soon as it becomes available!
