I am super excited about it, and now I am even more super excited because . . . drum roll please . . . here's the beautiful cover for it!
Here's some more info on it courtesy of SciFiGuy.ca:
A stunning anthology of the very best of steampunk that's taking teen fiction by storm. Bestselling romance editor Trisha Telep brings an exciting new element to the fast-growing sub-genre of steampunk, which bends and blends the old and the new in increasingly popular dark urban fantasies. Young heroes and heroines battle evil, in various forms with the help of super-technological or supernatural powers, while falling in and out of love.

Adrienne, I hope you don't mind, but I've lifted some of this to post on my blog, b/c it's the first time I've seen a good contributor's list and graphic of the cover. Thanks for posting--so excited!
I don't mind at all! As I said in the post, I lifted all that from SciFiGuy.ca, so I can hardly be a hypocrite now can I and say no. So yeah, please . . . steal away! :)
Wow... this is one stunning cover. It would certainly catch my eye in a bookshop!
The contributor's list is great too... thanks for such a good post!
