It began as a call for stories for an anthology that would introduce the genre of Rococoa – the bridge between Sword & Soul and Steamfunk – to the world in a BIG way.
Months later, I am happy – and proud – to announce the TOC for the Rococoa anthology!

Looks like a great collection of stories coming up! Is there a release date? The last I heard it’s scheduled for sometime in 2016.
Thanks!
I haven’t decided on a specific date, yet. It will, most likely be in February. March, at the latest.
That would make one of my greatest birthday presents then!
