Speaking: Exploring Steampunk
Next month is South Australia’s History Festival. And I’m excited. I’m addicted to history. You may recall, Dear Reader, my posts on procrasti-research and disappearing down the ‘research rabbit hole.’ (Not that I didn’t enjoy that. I did. Way too much!) I’ve learned so much since I started writing full time. And now I get…

On The Trials of Convention Costuming
It is convention season again. Time to rummage through the costume cupboard to rejuvenate and re-accessorise a costume. It’s the usual story: I was going to make a new costume for Oz Comic Con. Honest. I even made a new casual steampunk skirt back in December. I had intended to make a matching under-the-bust corset. Hmm. That is still…

Photo Friday: An Ancient Devon Rex
I never thought I was a cat person. After long deliberation, I think I am a specific cat person. Not just any cat will do. And, like my human relationships, it takes a long time to deal with endings. Yesterday marked one year after the loss of my dear Tisha. She was twenty-two years old. That…
