Day 3 of #authorlifemonth Fan Art - this is my main character Alexander and the dragon Rodin. I commissioned a bunch of airships and vehicles from my illustrator Jennifer Stolzer, she dug the book so much she did this portrait. I love it, it is so spot on. Alexander even has his sketchbook which can be seen on my website. #steampunk #fanart #fanartfriday #ironchronicles #ironhorsemen #ironzulu #ironlotus #bradrcook #jenniferstolzer #steampunkart #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #dragon #yabooks #yalit

Iron Horsemen by Brad R Cook  Book I of The Iron Chronicles  Treehouse Publishing Group  High Adventure in the Age of Steam and Steel A short excerpt... meet the Sparrowhawk      I pressed against the window to get a better view of the airdocks. Metal planking formed a gantry around the ships while large iron moorings clamped and secured the airships. People milled about as towering cranes hoisted cargo into their hulls.       The steamcarriage stopped in front of an aero-dirigible. An actual aero-dirigible!      I gasped. I had read about the cross between an airplane and a Zeppelin in the newspaper, but never imagined I’d see one up close.       Its outstretched wings--canvas pulled taut with yardarms running through them like the sails of a Junk--billowed with the wind. The gun-metal gray underside contrasted with the darkened blue top. A small set of fixed winglets stuck out of the nose. Its smooth, curved lines gave the vessel the look of a giant bird.       I saw three gunports running along the side and other mysterious hatches on the hull. What could they be hiding? I wanted to burst from the carriage and study every part of the majestic vessel but a firm hand on my shoulder kept me still. (from page 27-28 of Iron Horsemen)
