Eighteen-year-old Kali McAlister enters her steam-powered "dogless sled" in a race, intending to win the thousand-dollar prize and escape remote Moose Hollow forever. The problem? Fortune seekers and airship pirates are after her for the secret to flash gold, her late father's alchemical masterpiece.

With her modified rifle and a pocketful of home-made smoke bombs, Kali wouldn't normally hide from a confrontation, but taking on a whole airship single-handedly is a daunting task. Unfortunately, the other racers won't assist her--they're too busy scheming ways to sabotage her unorthodox sled.

When a sword-slinging stranger shows up, wanting to hire on as her protector, she's sure he has ulterior motives, but he's the only one interested in helping her. The question is...why?

Flash Gold is the first in a series of steampunk novellas.

La fórmula de ser feliz

No es bueno empezar pidiendo perdón, creamos una imagen que no es la que aquí queremos pintar.Me atrevo a hacer lo que me sale fácil pero no es lo más ético. Les voy a decir que hacer.Es así, mientras llueve en casa, al mejor estilo de Chopin y los vientos invernales mueven mis electrónicas hojas, escribo.Lo que debemos hacer, lo que creo, es invitar a correr, correr una maratón, algunos metros o muchos más kilómetros. Lo que cada uno pueda, lo que cada uno deba, hasta llegar a su fin. Pero eso sí, sin dejar de ser feliz, aunque esta felicidad de lata, sea artificial.En esta carrera donde somos los únicos competidores, donde la meta es relativa y el premio que inspira no es mucho más que la nada, debemos diseñar, debemos encontrar la fórmula.De tintes argentos a la luz de astro nocturno, no debe hacernos bien, no debe hacernos mal, solo inocencia ser.Esta fórmula, se auto gestiona, en otras palabras, funciona y deja de funcionar gracias a sí misma, pero parece tener predilección por el reino de Nix.Entre clásicas canciones y malas gargantas, estos algoritmos con la perseverancia del koi buscan llevarnos a aguas más calmas.Dando vueltas como Ravel, estos números, estas expresiones objetivas y prometedoras, parecen haber aparecido del aire, de la imaginación o la demencia. Y como llegaron, del aire, la imaginación o la demencia, también se fueron. Entonces me di cuenta que con ella no puedo esperar una rehabilitación. Y tuve que salir.Un día, sobrio como nunca, empecé a reír, y no puedo dejar de escuchar aquellos simples compases que inspiraron estas letras. Y esos compases no los pienso arruinar como a los demás (ahora se ve conveniente pedir perdón), los cuido y trato de no perderlos. Pues hasta el papa los necesita de vez en vez.
