- I am looking for a few things, and I am sure I will find at least part of it here. First I like the steampunk community, particularly in regards to the artists. I am hoping to network with artists of all kinds, but particularly high caliber writers.
I am also hoping to find a place where I can gain an audience for my novel in progress called "The Island and the Sea" to help insure it's success.
