Introduce yourself!
I'm a British expat living in California, represented by Laura Rennert (Andrea Brown Lit). I'm also the founder of The Steampunk Writers & Artists Guild.
On Friday nights I co-host #SteampunkChat, a chat for Steampunks and writers on Twitter @ 6 pm PST.
When I discovered the world of Steampunk about seven years ago I experienced the relief of someone recently diagnosed with a learning disorder—all my oddities were finally understood, if not entirely justified!
I share my home with my son, two excessively athletic cats, an Irish Red & White Setter, and over 5,000 books.
What do you hope to find at The Steampunk Writers & Artists Guild?
All the best links, resources, support and friendship made possible by networking with talented writers working in this genre.
How did you hear about us?
I'm the founder.

"Beyond that I'm fascinated by all things Steampunk, like someone who's just been diagnosed with a mental disorder and discovers all her oddities are finally understood, if not entirely justified." -- I can so relate to that! Looking forward to participating here.

Hi Lia, I can put the research links wherever you want them to go. Just let me know. So far I've discovered fairly extensive links for NYC history.

"Having a standing desk definitely limits how much time I spend surfing the Net! LOL I interchange between my standing desk, my sitting down desk, and my reading chair to make sure I don't create thrombosis problems down the road."

"A 'read' registers every time a new user clicks on a chapter. If someone comes back to read it again it won't register as they've already seen it.  Wattpad Feature books, but only if the author is willing to leave them up…"
