Publishers Weekly weighs in on Dreadnought:

[Starred Review ] Dreadnought
Cherie Priest, Tor, $14.99 paper (480p) ISBN 978-0-7653-2578-5

An intimate, well-crafted portrait of a nurse on a mission adds depth to this exceptional Civil War steampunk thriller, the self-contained sequel to 2009’s Locus Award-winning Boneshaker. Mercy Lynch, recently widowed and taxed to exhaustion by caring for Confederate wounded in Richmond, must cross the war-torn nation to reach her estranged father, who lies dying in the Washington territories. After her dirigible is shot out of the air, Mercy joins Horatio Korman, a Texas Ranger with an agenda, on the Union’s famous steam engine, the Dreadnought. On their trail are desperate Confederate soldiers and a zombified Mexican legion. The battles and intrigue are entertaining, but the real draw is Priest’s latest no-nonsense heroine, who comes equipped with a full measure of sharp judgment and brutal competence as well as a nurse’s kind (but not saintly) heart. (Oct.)

I am thrilled and honored to announce that Boneshaker has been nominated for a Nebula Award. It is a privilege and a delight to be on that list, in that company; and in fact, it blows my mind with glee that I’m sharing the space with so many friends.

For my full statement on the matter visit my main webpage, where I get downright giddy and sappy about the whole thing.

I’d like to thank Mary Ann Gwinn at the Seattle Times, for she has been very, very kind. She has also dubbed me the “high priestess of steampunk,” which is a little hilarious. Ah, the punny-riffic joys of having a common noun for a name
