"Thanks Joe!  Vol. 2 seemed more seasoned, mature than Vol. 1 (which is NO insult to Vol 1 at all!) and was very, very enjoyable.  I had the pleasure of editing this volume and enjoyed every minute of it.  I highly recommend the book,…"

ToNB Vol 2

Finally finished Tales Vol. 2, after many delays, an excellent collection of stories.  Emerson's was entertaining as usual, Jed/Emmanuelle's was pleasantly darker than expected.  Many, I wished to be much longer because the taste the writers gave you just wasn't enough and you were left wanting more.  A little disappointed that some didn't submit this year, but life happens.  All in all, a great set of stories with new insights to the city we love. See More

The Adventures of Phineas Frakture

Although I have been writing for the past twelve years, or so, starting off with historical fiction of pirates (long before they became popular) and then moving on to Star Trek fan fiction with my own stories of the USS Adventure, I have only been involved with Steampunk for the last six.  I was fascinated by the genre when I found models for my cg program Poser based on the style.  In researching it, I was led to Second Life and the City of New Babbage.  My character, Phineas Frakture, had…

"It varies, and has the full range of Steampunk music in it, from Cabaret to metal.Just FYI, the format is the first two hours is talk with music breaks, and the third hour is music with chat breaks."

Most folks think of writing when they imagine what writers do; scribbling creative characters, scenes; oozing creativity onto the page into the wee hours of the night. Beginning writers dive into…See More

"Yes Gwen, that can make it challenging. But if this seems to be your cup of tea but you don't want to interrupt your beauty rest, you can always download it and listen to it afterwards. :)"
