Steam-Powered Postcards
Can you tell a story in exactly 50 words? The Three Moms of the Apocalypse went to Louisiana’s World Steampunk Exposition and Makers Faire in Lafayette, LA and issued a challenge.
Tell us a story that could fit on the back of a postcard. Use 50 words, no more, no less. We’ll provide the postcards.
The response to this challenge was huge!
So many wonderful authors decided to take up the challenge that it was a real struggle to pick the 20 best stories.
Steam-Powered Postcards, the second Postcards anthology from Raconteur Press, contains our favorite stories, the pictures that inspired them, plus a few exciting extras. We hope you enjoy the stories as much as we did and maybe take some inspiration to try one for yourself!

Steam-Powered Perfect
Whether you fly through the images and imaginings like an aeronaut or swim through them like an aquanaut, this little gem is a multifaceted crystal of wonder and whimsy! Even before you finish these miniature masterpieces you will be inspired and instigated to begin creating your own stories. Or even compelled to enter the worlds the authors have crafted so beautifully in only 50 words and to expand and illuminate them.
I found the MidJourney illustrations fun and fascinating and fraught with possibilities. Kudos to all involved with this book and this series. I always rate the books I read but rarely write a review, (it eats onto my reading time! LOL! ), but was compelled to rave about and recommend this volume.

Bite-sized and tasty!
These mini-narratives, the fruits of a convention challenge, will tickle both eyes and minds! Some of them, both stories and images, are a little dark for my taste (but then, my alignment is Lawful Sentimental), but all make original use of classic tropes and elements. I now want to find out which con the Three Moms of the Apocalypse are attending next, and take them up on the next challenge!
