"It is difficult.  Trust me, I understand.  I was so concerned about sharing my work.  If there's somebody you connect with and can kind of get a feel for through their Twitter, blog, FB, etc. that helps.  It's hard,…"

Introduce yourself!
I am an urban and steampunk fantasy author, Pagan writer, homeschooler, and genealogist from Massachusetts, currently living in England with my husband, son, black-headed caique, and three cats (one of whom is certifiably demonic - at least, according to military veterinarians).

My writing has appeared in numerous Pagan magazines and the independent supernatural comic, "The Necropolis Chronicles". I am the author of "Dead Wrong", "The Gossamer Gate", and "Heart & Fire".

My first book in a steampunk fantasy series, "The Chronos Clock", Book 1 of the Aetheric Artifacts, will be released by Musa Publishing, February 1, 2013.
What do you hope to find at The Steampunk Writers & Artists Guild?
Inspiration!
