Even after reading the horde of steampunk stories for the Clockwork Chaos anthology, just reading that query made me want to know more about the book.
I do have a hard time equating the first paragraph of your query with a locked-room murder mystery... which means it is either a negative equation for an agent or a postive hook depending on their partiuclar viewpoints. Probably just as well.
You never do mention wordcount in your query.
Your short story publications look like a standard lis tthere, I'd probably have used a colon. The and Strange, Weird, and Wonderful looks to be problemetic in listing that way.
