[In honor of her new book Soulless, which impressed me with its groundedness in the Victorian world, I asked author Gail Carriger to blog about the art of finding good research sources for Steampunk writing. This is her contribution - thank you very much, Ms. Carriger! -JDS]
I’ve said it before and I’ll [...]
A review of Soulless by Gail Carriger
There is only one thing worse than having a soul, and that is not having a soul. Or perhaps having too much? I think I’m getting ahead of myself.
To backtrack, I just finished reading Gail Carriger’s debut novel Soulless, now available for preorder from Amazon and scheduled [...]
I am pleased to announce that my friend and sometimes actor Philippa Ballantine and I will be collaborating on a new project this year. Although my creative partner on this endeavor and I are both known for our steamy fiction, this project takes it to a whole new level.
Beginning in December, we will be [...]

The folks at ClonePod liked Cold Duty so much that they ALSO bought it to run as a Christmas episode. You can find it by hitting this link here.
Cold Duty: Selected Readings from the Diary of a Gelusian Repairman is the tale of a stable boy who gets caught working on a [...]
As covered by SFFAudio, my story Cold Duty is now live at SteamPod. Head on over to hear a tale of a 100-years too early scientific and technological revolution that happens because a stable boy gets caught working on a steam engine. Steampunk memoir - and a tale very close to my heart.
Well, I’m back. Voice functioning, body seems to be healthy again finally.
Here’s what this means for you all, my loyal readers:
I’m going to fix and drop Episode 13 of Antithesis tomorrow, probably late, assuming the congestion clears.
I’ll start blogging again, with reports from SteamCon and some other interesting updates, later this week.
The feedback episode will [...]
On the Indamixx once again - this week I’m attempting to mix and edit Antithesis on it. Recording on it worked well already, though I am encountering issues with the thing’s root authentication - but more on that in my LinuxJournal article.
For this weekend’s foray into steampunkiness, I ordered my outfit for Steamcon. It should [...]
Continuing my prep for Steamcon, It’s time for round two in the furthering my steampunk education. I’m still blogging on the Indamixx - going to try recording an Antithesis episode later today to really put it through its paces — once I figure out how to get NFS working on it, that is.
As for the [...]
So, with Steamcon coming soon, and me sitting on a couple panels, I’ve got to bone up on a genre that I’ve hereto only been passingly familiar with. This involves an extensive reading list, which I’m honestly not going to have time for. Fortunately, I’m not giving a talk on writing in the genre, I’m [...]
