Here's the "Gas Lamp Fantasy" I wrote for my birth dauther Emma and my daughters by choice, Sierra Mann and Therese Sorum. Think X-Files meets Sherlock Holmes with parasols and you've got it. Due out in time for Christmas, 2017.
The above is a due out in early 2018. It's a fictional biography of a really cool guy, Louis Palma di Cesnola. He was an second son of an Italian count who fought in the First War of Italian Independence, then in the Crimean War, then he moved to the United States and fought in the Civil War (in the cavalry no less!). After the war he became a diplomat and archaeologist and eventually the first director of the NY Metropolitan Museum. And he did all that in a country that didn't much care for Italian-Americans. So he's a pretty cool dude.

Having just finished the Women in American History encyclopedia my co-editor Rosanne Welch and I decided to take on another encyclopedia project--in part so we could add women and domestic technologies to the project. Also, the original cover had a rocket in the middle picture. So, two old dudes and a phallic symbol. Rosanne and I fought for a woman. We got her. That's Maria Mitchell in the center. Go Chicks! The encyclopedia is slated for publication in 2019 with ABC-Clio. Three Volumes, 700,000 words.

Spur Up Your Pegasus: Family Letters of Salmon, Kate and Nettie Chase, 1840-1873
(with Jim McClure and Erika Kreger).
It looks boring as hell, but it's actually a pretty cool collection of letters and essays from between a man (who was Lincoln's Sec. of Treasury) and his two daughters.
