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...

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.
