In a world where pastry is a controlled substance and a layer cake is considered a weapon of mass destruction, one lone figure stands ready, rolling pin in hand, to strike a blow for frosting and freedom. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/94883#longdescr



Prin is an orphaned dwarf raised by humans. He flees a HealthWatch raid on his parent’s bakery that leaves his stepfather dead and his stepmother sentenced to the treadmill.
Accompanied by a disreputable “wizard” with dubious powers, a gnome with an anger management problem and the village idiot and his loyal and incontinent dog, Prin begins a whimsical journey through a steampunk world of airship pirates, steam cannon, traction trains, clockwork horses, amorous windup robots, vast herds of porcuswine, cannibalistic munchkins, dwarf armies, stoned elves, people who hate clowns, and a fat man on a bicycle.

Through battles, plots and counter-plots, a hint of sorcery, and numerous pastries, can a young baker with a shadowy past discover the recipe to overturn mad Doctor Travaculus and give people back their just desserts? Find out in The Donuts of Doom!

Hey folks.  Just wanted to plug my new steampunk novelzine project that I'm pitching on Kickstarter, called Parabolis.  Would appreciate it if you'd check it out and give me some feedback.

Hi All

Thought I'd take a moment to share some further development on the art side of the work I'm doing developing Frahnknshtyne. I've posted a 3D refinement of the Aether assassins weapon for one of my characters. This property development is a journey so sharing as I go is important to me. There's more to come shortly.

I hope you enjoy. Cheers for now, Kevin

Speaking as a huge Kevin Mowrer fan, this is gorgeous!

Hi Alison

I'm honored. Thank you

My favorite view of the rifle so far is with the scope turned on. It's just a visual morsel and won't make a lot of sense until the story puts it all in context but I have always believed that beautifully created and designed elements that are in service of the narrative can say a great deal without having to describe the minutiae.  I'm an odd bird in that I have to move between creating the visual and the writing as they inform each other in my head. It's part of my research process.

Best, Kevin

PS - here is the image with the scope turned on.

Yes, that is amazing, like all your work. Please keep us up to date with the Frahnknhstyne project. It's fascinating!
