Gary Alan Ruse commented on Calista Taylor's group The Aether Guild of Writers"To Lady Theodora, you didn't mention at first that you already had reference books that had limited info, or I wouldn't have suggested that avenue of exploration. Glad that the Contessa pointed you toward Lee Jackson's website. A…"
Gary Alan Ruse commented on Calista Taylor's group The Aether Guild of Writers"Note to Tanya (Lady Theodora) -- There are a number of great reference books on Victorian London at libraries, bookstores and online, and some good historical websites, too, that you really should study if you are serious about writing a novel. Not…"

Gary Alan Ruse replied to James Murray's discussion How fictional? in the group The Aether Guild of Writers"But gee...if he uses a steam-powered mechanical dragon to heat a steam boiler...isn't he just back where he started? ;) And anyway, I think he was just using that example to ask a question about using fantasy elements in general."

Gary Alan Ruse replied to James Murray's discussion How fictional? in the group The Aether Guild of Writers"James, I would suggest that you ignore your friend's joking (?) remark and trust your own instincts. You're right, science fiction (even Victorian science fiction) is one thing and fantasy is another. Sometimes a story can…"
Gary Alan Ruse replied to Gadgeteer Dragos Lamont's discussion Introductions! in the group Society of Gageteers and Inventors (S.G.I)"I'm mainly a writer and artist, but I had to put all of my crafts skills to work to make the "mechanical hand" and a few other parts of my costume. Still working on designing an electric/ray pistol. I'm not really into…"

Profile Information
- Introduction
- I am a professional writer of science fiction and fantasy, and mystery, and some of that is set in the Victorian Age. I've long been a fan of Jules Verne, Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells and early Steampunk like Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and TV series "The Wild Wild West." I began my first Steampunk novel back in 1970, before there was a term for Victorian Science Fiction, and the editors liked it but didn't know what to do with it marketing-wise. (My Hollywood agent is showing it around now.) The anthology, "Sherlock Holmes in Orbit," edited by Martin Greenberg,, has my Steampunk story, "The Holmes Team Advantage." My main webpage is www.GaryAlanRuse.com I love the elegance of the Victorian Age and the "romance" of adventurous science fiction.

But if I tried to put goggles on her, I'd be missing a limb for sure!

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I love your photos, by the way, especially that mechanical hand. This site has been a great discovery for me.
BTW, here's an article I found today. Perhaps nothing new for you, but I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
