Anyone know good Steampunk books or authors?

I enjoy Cherie Priest. One of my favorite steampunk books is The Different Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. It's also a good book if you like alternate history.

That would be "The Difference Engine"

LOL, you are correct. What's sad is I was looking at it on my bookshelf when I typed my reply.

I just finished "The Soulless" which is the first book in the Parasol Protectorate series. It was very cute, and it had a terrific steampunk setting.

Michele Black http://www.michelleblack.com/ writes steampunk and does an awful lot of speaking on the topic. I'm not sure that all her books qualify, but I'm pretty sure much of it does. Check out her site at least!

Theresa Meyers just came out with a Steampunk Western (there's some paranormal thrown in for good measure, too!) I haven't read it yet, but it's gotten some good reviews. Here's the link: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hunt...esa%252bmeyers
Hope this helps!

Jason G. Anderson just came out with a steampunk revisitation of "Alice in Wonderland." I wrote about it on my blog, if you are interested in checking it out.

This book was excellent. I'd say more but there's a sick baby in my arms pulling my hair...

You should try Lindsay Buroker. She has a great steampunk novella called Flash Gold, in addition to other works. You can find her on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/Flash-steampun...tt_at_ep_dpt_3

Hope you enjoy!

I second this series. I have also enjoyed Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices trilogy so far (Clockwork Angel and Clockwork Prince with third out in December 2012), Bluebeard's Machine by Mari Fee (steampunk Bluebeard novella), and Miss Bramble and the Leviathon by Kristin Painter. All of these have strong romantic elements and the last two are straight-up romance.

I also liked the two interconnected short story collections The Shadow Conspiracy and The Shadow Conspiracy II which are steam punk short stories from different authors that when taken together tell a bigger story.
