Sorry for not keeping this blog up to date (I'm not good at this stuff), but thought that I'd better make contact. Just done some housekeeping with the site & account, so here is my new logo. Have been writing on & off, but lots of illness & real job stresses have limi...
I've just had my first guest review published on the Steampunk Journal site. The subject is "The Queen of Clocks and Other Tales", which is an anthology of seven rewritings of fairy tales and legends with a steampunk twist. Must admit that I was supposed to submit a sh...

As part of Steampunk Wales 2016, I'm performing on the Friday Night (5th August) in Llandrindod Wells. I shall also have stock of the "Airships & Automata" book to sell. Exciting times.
