This weekend is the first Octopodicon, a Steampunk themed convention and I will be there! With my novels on hand and able to sign them and the Troll Lord Games adventure modules too. Peter Bradley will be there, his booth in the art room with prints and Castles & Crusades books on hand. So between us you can purchase either my novels (from me directly) or my recently published adventure modules ('Goblins of Mount Shadow' and 'The Crimson Pact') from Peter.

This will be a fun weekend of cogs, top-hats, steam, mad science, music, art and so much more! The arts are alive again and you can be a part, just show up in garb or not, and join the Victorian-esque fun. My booth will be in the Visiting Professors' section, just look for my displays of my two present books and the forthcoming Steampunk Horror novel in December. I will have stacks of books on hand, bookmarks and more! Please join us!

Sadly Oklahoma City is touch too far for this Brit to travel. Shame though. I find myself revisiting Steampunk after break. I spent many years full on into the RPG and literature aspects of the genre and needed to take some time time off it and rediscover some other great things. Now, with a game design coming together for a Steampunk exploration based card game, and Mark Hodder's second novel on the go, I find myself looking for more and more Steampunky goodness. i'll have to see if your books are available over here.
ReplyDeleteMy books are available there although I am not sure through which distributors exactly, Damnation Books has the info on their site. I have ran a series of campaigns that, together, became the books I am publishing now. Ultimately, my setting should be made into a playable game world soon with Troll Lord Games as a supplement to the new Amazing Adventures game.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you cant make it this weekend! But it is tad bit far away...
