Affect vs Effect – A Writer’s Influence on the World Around Them
When a writer brings their own focus to a subject, be it a person, event, or cultural practice, they may have a plan for such a focus. They may intend for the world to see a certain viewpoint in their work. They may also have no agenda for the focus but that doesn’t mean that [...]

The Inevitable Conversion of an Author by: Carrie Vaughn
It was bound to happen sooner or later. I mean, I knew about steampunk before it was cool. I know everyone says that, but I really did. I knew that Wild Wild West and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea were steampunk, and I remember when The Difference Engine came out. I was the first [...]
Fencing Lessons in Paris
Miss Schlact had a natural talent with a blade. Eudora watched in dismay as Miss Schlact once again proved to have another hidden talent.

Nigel can’t pass up a chance to climb to the top.

Windel, Eudora and Miss Schlacht see the sights, but where’s Nigel…
Nigel was here just a moment ago. The sufragi assured them that Nigel had merely been misplaced, not lost as Eudora had insisted. Miss Schlact, however prim and proper, seemed entirely unconcerned about his absence.

Whistling Fire Literary Journal
On the 29th of November 2011, I received an email from Guest Editor AE Stueve of ‘Whistling Fire Literary Journal’. On a lark/dare, I submitted a story to their Steampunk Themed month, a story called ‘An Impossible Plan.’ The email was just to tell me that the Editor wanted to publish my story on the site. [...]
