Hey folks! This is a “sticky” post up for the next week or so to remind you that I will be Author Guest of Honor at Clockwork Alchemy – and that we’re running a Kickstarter for The Neurodiversiverse! Please check out the Kickstarter – and click to be notified when it goes live, I’m told that helps “the algorithm” when it launches.
I was selected as Clockwork Alchemy GOH not just because of the Jeremiah Willstone steampunk series, comprising one novel and a dozen stories featuring the rayguns-corsets-and-aliens world of Victoriana, but also because I’ve been involved in Clockwork Alchemy since its inception. Please visit us at the con!
At Clockwork Alchemy, I will be joined by my Neurodiversiverse coeditor and friend Liza Olmsted. Our schedule at the event is the following – including a Tea with the Author on Friday and the debut of the audio drama “Jeremiah Willstone and the Choir of Demons” on the anthology panel on Saturday:

Finally, for the duration of the campaign, neurodiversiverse.com will link through to the Kickstarter! We’re campaigning to get enough funds to pay our authors full “pro” SFWA rates, and if we surpass that, the funds will go to the planned second book in the series: The Neurodiversiverse – Binary Stars! Back and share, folks!
