Good for you! New England is amazing this time of year. Just don't stay there for the winter. DEAR GOD!
Steampunk; (N) genre of science fiction/fantasy characterized by a Victorian time period with advanced technology, or an advanced technological society that retains Victorian sensibilities. There's steampunk group here.
Mine is set in the US, circa 1920, with delayed technology due to a protracted civil war. Some supernatural elements exist, as well as Nazis, Canibals, Dinosaurs and the Lost Tribe of Israel in the Amazon, Pirates in the Carribean, The Elder Gods, Amphibious Gremlins, and lots of other weirdness.
The protagonist is Elijah Henry Truth, grandson of Sojourner Truth on one side, and John Henry (the steel diving man) on the other side. Ask, and I'll send you more.
All my best,
