Welcome to my fourth adventure as a participant in the A to Z Blog Challenge!
This year I will be taking you into the depths of my fiction. Thanks to the wonderful folks behind Clockwork Alchemy, I have two short stories in each of the three convention anthologies published so far. You can see all three covers in the sidebar. History is my passion and historical fiction my favorite reading and writing pleasure. With that in mind, my A to Z Challenge Theme is
KYOTO STEAMPUNK!
Come and meet the main characters such as Dr. William Harrington, eminent British physician, his wife Constance and their daughter Madelaine, a genius at creating clockwork automata and a keen student of Japanese language and culture.
Meet his adversaries who hail from various corners of Japanese mythology!

Meet the people of Japan who bring their strengths and weaknesses to the battles Dr. Harrington must face as he struggles to carry out the mission entrusted to him by Queen Victoria herself.
Join me for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. I will take you behind the scenes into the creative process and amazing historical details that shape Dr. Harrington’s adventures!

I’m so happy you’ve chosen these theme, Lillian!
I’m more of a Dieselpunk lady than Steampunk, but I know I’ll enjoy this a lot. Can’t wait to start reading!

Hi, Debbie! Think of it as Victorian science fiction. Jules Verne is the classic example. Thanks for stopping by!

I am visiting your blog for the first time having found you on the #Challenge participant list. A fellow writer appreciating your theme connected with your books. If you have time join me on a tour of BOOKSTORES, my theme this year…the architecture, locations, and wonderful people who sell books. I just know you love a great bookstore too.
