Short description

A debut steam punk adventure story from author Matthew Farmer, starring a beautiful demon from another realm, magical steam powered golems, potion-powered guns, sky-ships, dragons and Navarr, the man from Accounts who is looking for love and adventure.

Extended description

In the city of Old Darbeton, Lenzell and Associates is the leading designer of golems - steam powered automatons. They have taken the market share thanks to their new power source. But this new source of power is not what it seems to be. Stolen from another world, this power source seems to give the golems a life of their own.

Navarr works in accounts. He has been with Lenzell and Associates for three years and is still in the same cubicle. He dreams of big things, but they never happen. Yet, the night before the first storm of the season, fate drops adventure into his lap, quite literally. A woman from the other world has arrived looking for her brother. The monstrous hunters from Lenzell and Associates are looking for her. And Navarr is caught in the middle.

This is a magical steam punk adventure story with sorcery, sky ships, swords and guns and dragons! A debut novel from Matthew Farmer, Act 1 is available for a free download, with the full novel available later this year.

Review by: Scarlett Archer on March 13, 2012 : star star star star star
The first act of The Girl from Out Of Town is thrilling! It is a skilled combination of Neil Gaiman and Isaac Asimov, bringing together adventure and unique characters, with an ease of beautifully crafted description.

Once I was in, that was it. I couldn't put it down. I recommend this read to everyone- even those who have never tried Steampunk before. This is well worth the time and the value!

I'm not an avid steampunk reader but The Girl From Out Of Town has be intrigued and enraptured from the outset. I highly recommend you download a copy and get hooked because it is totally worth it.
