Steampunk Amazon Best-Seller!

Steampunk & eBook Panels @ Apollocon

Look for me at panels & parties… and mostly discussing the latest scandal with colleagues over tea.

I'll also be on the following panels:

It is so funny how one seemly unimportant item from your child hood can affect the course of your life. When I was very little my mother made a great push to get a grandfather clock. I have no idea why this became her mission but it was. I remember going to every antique shop in the county with her. On...
