I am a bit of a hobbyist when it comes to the Great Airship Flap of 1897-97. I have half a dozen books on the subject and have scoured the Internet for additional material. From that research I have lectured numerous times at science fiction and steampunk conventions on the topic and am always on the lookout for additional materials and sources of information to improve my understanding…

      SCENE II:  The guest suite.  CR&A+K file in.  Regnad is last to enter and bolts the door behind him.  He and Caroline remain standing, while everyone else takes a seat.



R.       Alright, no beating around the bush.  Mr. Krancher, we've formed a number of theories with regard to you, and now we want information.



K.       (Blandly)  What makes you think you'll get it?



R.       By hook, or by crook, we will!    And here's the hook:  We realize…

Whatever you celebrate, wherever you are, I hope you all are safe, warm and cared for.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Although I am still just a college student with two more years until graduation I have always had the ambition to open up my own restaurant.  I now have the idea for "The Clockwork Cafe", a small restaurant that will serve baked goods, drinks, and lunch/dinner food for all ages with a Steampunk atmosphere located in the Historical Triangle of Virginia (Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown).

All I need right now is support and ideas from the Steampunk community (and any tips…

I am sharing a few thoughts from the dark depths of my mind. The origin of Ruritania is to be found in a series of novels written by Anthony Hope in the 1890s. They are, of course, set in a fictional country located in the heart of Europe and were never meant to be expanded into any sort of basis for the strange, obsessive imaginations of others. Naturally, I accepted the challenge because I am strange and obsessive. What emerged was intended to be background material for use…

Hi Check out my latest blog on giving and getting feedback.

After reading lots of other people's work recently and having my work read, I had to jump up and shout along with the hords hoping that message would find those who want it.
