Steam Submarine Zelf is the story of Zelf, a Welfing (bipedal wolf from the Unfallen Realms) who is stuck in a world much like our own. She must find an Aetheric Detector to be able to cross the branches of the World Tree again, and travel through the aether to her own realm. This is paranormal romance, or alternate history, or urban fantasy, or epic fantasy, or science fiction, or weird fiction; it all depends on your point of view.
An excerpt:
Proloup: Reflexion of a Wolf
There was no sound but for the steady murmuring of the drizzling rain pelting the submarine’s hull.
In the shiny brass dashboard she caught a glimpse of her own reflexion. Bright golden eyes stared back at her, and in the shadow of her grey cape she glimpsed the grey and white fur on her muzzle and ears, and the wet black nose of a wolf.
She bared her teeth at her own visual echo and growled a deeply satisfying growl.
In this realm, she was the monster.
If she was caught they would surely kill her, or even worse, in this strange world of vivisection and animal experimentation, she would end up in a laboratory somewhere, being prodded by sticks and pricked with needles and cut apart by knives, so that human scientists could see what it was that made her different from everything else.
