Hello
My name's Julian and I'm just setting out as a writer, aged 53. I've spent the last couple of years reading every writer's guide going, plus everything spec-fic from Lud-in-the-Mist to Throne of the Crescent Moon.
My work is a kinda steampunky, with a gust of gothic, and much less magic and much more domesticity than I anticipated when I got into this game. But I expect, or at least hope, to be shelved under plain old fantasy fiction.
My WIP tells the tale of an eccentric nonconformist family living in a Northern industrial town in the 1890s. There are dirigibles and cyborgs and steam trams instead of trains. And my protagonist is female, even though I'm not.
At the planning and research stage, so still doing a fair whack of reading. Right now my head is stuck into Dan Hassler-Forest's, 'Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Politics'; Tanith Lee's, 'The Silver Metal Lover', and the new edition of Susie L. Steinbach's 'Understanding the Victorians'.
Nice to be here.
