Synopsis for the Rise and Fall of Chaz Oregano:

Tasmania - rightwing thugs are spouting nonsense, riling up crowds, and provoking violence in the streets.
Eilex Turen, student radical and would-be anarchist, comes out to confront them. To her, it's not just militia thugs who are the problem, but everything from patriarchy to capital to the state itself, and she veers deeper into criminality pursuing her vision of justice. Chaz Oregano, rogue anarchist from Hobart, fleeing police goons, arrives in her city, and becomes a part of Eilex's group. The two soon begin falling for each other, crafting a revolutionary relationship.
The prince, meanwhile, has established a special deputy to investigate street brawls and property crimes, and his unit turns the full might of the state against Public Enemy Number 1: Chaz Oregano. With the situation spiralling out of control, has Eilex bitten off more than she cam chew?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/harujinshounds/tiger-blues-a-queer-alt-history-steampunk-novel?ref=discovery&term=tiger%20blues&total_hits=20&category_id=47

“Taming the Laser Leopard” is a standalone novelette in my Yang-Yoshiko Universe, a prequel to “Tiger Blues” that tells the story of a young Olive Yang's wedding. A trio of uncouth pirates stumble into the wedding reception of Brumese princess and genderqueer gunslinger Olive Yang, future opium kingpin who will transform the opiumtrafficking industry in Burma's Golden Triangle. Also, Olive has no interest in men, and not only did they sneak their girlfriend into the party, but they're also trying to flirt up the busty young secretary from Rangoon while getting raucously drunk. Other guests at the wedding include a nosey CIA agent and his KMT counterpart, the two of whom are in the early stages of Operation Midnight Climax and Project MK Ultra; a one-eyed bandit trying to use his x-ray vision tovisually undress the bridesmaids; an avante-garde poet who's written a scandalous poet about the bride; and a Burmese admiral who still holds a grudge for the scam he fell pray to at the hands of our pirate heroine.
