Denizens of Steam.
Here’s an extra treat for Halloween – an extra post and a eBook mini anthology of steampunk flash fiction , featuring my latest flash fiction, Right on Time – for free. It all started with a tea party to celebrate the first anniversary of Scribblers’ Den, a group of steampunk writers on the forum, Steampunk Empire. I love…

The State of Affairs.
Why is it that the last few months of the year seem to be the busiest? And that’s not contemplating Christmas shopping. Not only have I been soul-searching and kicking myself up the butt this week, but I have also found a new burst of enthusiasm. The daily task of producing a new piece of…

Decisions, Decisions.
I’ve been mucking around for the past two months. Lots of crocheting to get Octoarm scarves ready for sale for upcoming events. A bit of writing here, a bit of writing there. Most of the writing has been on blog posts – with time spent on research, rewrites, photos. Today I realised I have been using…

Inktober Update
It has been wonderful flexing my finger muscles. It has been too long since I picked up a nib or ink pen. This week I bought a white gel pen and played with coloured paper. I like it. Need a bit more practice before I will be satisfied with my results. These are my favourties…

This Steampunk Did Go to the Ball
Avast, ye hearties! There be pirates ahead. Yesterday our local costume/cosplay group, Cosplay for a Cause Adelaide, held a Steampunk Pirate Ball (we couldn’t make up our mind, so we went with both!) to raise money for Variety Club SA. Money was raised from ball tickets and items donated for the silent auction. I donated a…

R U OK? Am I OK?
My heart falls into the pit of my stomach. Dread. Electric pins and needles radiate through my chest. My hearts pounds, racing, trying to catch up with my thoughts which have already consumed me. Panic. My hands shake. Spasms shoot over my back, freezing the muscles in intense pain. The doom has come upon me. My…

Inktober 2015
I almost forgot! Again. Last year I remembered too late. I vowed this year I would remember. I did, but… I penciled my first drawing. Grabbed my calligraphy box and… Ran out of bottled ink. My last ink pen had dried out. Fail. I finally managed to get to the art shop on Saturday and…

The Chances of Anything Coming From Mars…
The week has been exciting. NASA has announced there is liquid water to be found on Mars – in certain circumstances. If any of the Mars colony projects are to succeed, they need water. Water means life. We can’t survive without it. The water is locked in Mars’ soil and atmosphere. It’s soil is hydrated. There…
