*happysigh* Partners! Doomed to failure only 'cause the publisher went down in flames.
Larklight -- a young adult book, technically, set in what's basically the future as victorian sci-fi saw it; Newton developed entirely on his own*cough* the power source for spaceships. It's now the 19th century, and Queen Victoria is leading jolly old England's expansion across the solar system. It's hilarious and has awesome characters. Including Myrtle, a Proper Young Lady who gets very frustrated when there's no dashing young gentleman to come to her rescue and she must defend herself rather than fainting as a young woman should under such circumstances. A romance, of sorts.
Hollow Fields -- a manga that tells the tale of young Lucy Snow, who loses her way when headed to boarding school and finds herself signed up at a school for young mad scientists. Only one volume exists at the moment, but it's pretty good.
Five Fists of Science -- Nikola Tesla and Mark Twain, in an effort to make tons of cash and bring about world peace, build a robot and go to fight crime. The highest levels of historical accuracy I've seen on Tesla in a fictional work. Not a romance in any way, but as close as Tesla would ever get without including something inappropriate with a pigeon.
The Girl Genius trades are indeed in print! You can get 'em from Studio Foglio if Amazon doesn't have them in stock.
