What's this, yet another Steampunk Novel?

Absolutely!  I've now published The Flight To Brassbright, a Victorian Era Steampunk-ish Carnival-esque Bohemian Urban Fantasy Comedy book (oh, what fun to try to niche me into a genre!), the first book in The Brassbright Chronicles.

Although I am still just a college student with two more years until graduation I have always had the ambition to open up my own restaurant.  I now have the idea for "The Clockwork Cafe", a small restaurant that will serve baked goods, drinks, and lunch/dinner food for all ages with a Steampunk atmosphere located in the Historical Triangle of Virginia (Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown).

All I need right now is support and ideas from the Steampunk community (and any tips…

WHAT IS…

    Once upon a time, last month, a group of young people went to dinner before attending their high school prom. Of course they all had their smart phones in hand and they were texting each other at the table. One of the young men realized, far too late, that he was a little short of funds. He…

Bit of rebuttal to blogger's 'Most Steampunk Cities in America'

Norman, OK boasts many Steampunk & Victorian treasures.  In our last blog we shared info on our train, our award-winning art collection, our foundry, and more.  History, craftsmanship, and talent are important; however, much of steampunk was founded in literature's science fiction.…

So after much ado, the paint job is finally on. I had a massive headache getting the paint to behave in an appropriate and timely manner. The piano faces directly west, so the sun beats down on it pretty relentlessly during the longest days of our year. The heat was so intense that the paint started to blister with every coat. So every coat I had to sand down and touch up. I finally decided to work on it at night time, starting around 9pm and going home around midnight. The only drawback was…

Eclectic weddings are individual, distinctive, and often a singular moment for the bride to the focus of the fanfare, especially if she’s starring in a steampunk wedding!  Our first blog about steampunk discussed some of the basics: literature, Victorian-era fashion, and the finest craftsmanship in metals, leathers, and fabrics.  Today I am lucky to share gorgeous dress created by seamstress Lisa Sauter with photography by Ian Danziger.…

I would love to create a steampunk picnic where everyone gathers in a park and enjoys talking, and eating their picnic lunch, role playing, and just have fun. I am curious what kind of interest there would be in this kind of event?
