Kristen Painter’s Steampunk Romance consists of the novella Miss Bramble and the Leviathan, published in 2010. The story is set in a Victorian-inspired world with steam-powered machines and follows a romantic plot against that backdrop. It represents Painter’s foray into the steampunk genre before she became better known for her paranormal and urban fantasy romance series.
As a standalone novella, Miss Bramble and the Leviathan offers a quick read for fans of steampunk settings and romance. Painter’s later work, including the House of Comarré and Nocturne Falls series, shows how her interests in speculative settings and romantic fiction continued to develop after this early release.
