Did I read this in Steam-Powered? I think I read this in Steam-Powered.

(Now I'm reminded of the Steam-Powered story with the Haitian woman and the New Orleans woman and the clear indication that the history of Haiti was quite different because steampunk, and I'm wishing I'd nominated that instead of Cabinet Noir.)

Yes, I think it was in Steam-Powered.

Personally, I've only listened to the story's podcast, so I don't know any of the other Steam-Powered stories, but the one you mention sound pretty awesome, too! Maybe you can nominate it next year and till then I'll have read it, too. :-)

:) You should get the anthology, it's awesome and the settings are all over the globe. There's a second one, too, but I haven't got around to reading it yet.

Oh, this anthology really sounds awesome. I think it'll go right on my Christmas list now! :-)
