Mark and I (and M.D. Neu and B.J. and Aaron Sikes) will all be at Clockwork Alchemy in Redwood Shores (just south of San Francisco) from October 24th-26th, and I’ll be running the “bookstore” there, in addition to being on three panels. More about the con:
Our theme for 2025 takes advantage of the upcoming Halloween season. Gaslight Fantasy is Steampunk’s more magically-inclined cousin. It’s a subgenre of Historical Fantasy with a setting that is clearly recognizable as the real-world 19th or very early 20th century. It may be a full-on Alternate History where magic exists openly and has affected the course of events or combined with traditional steampunk alternate developments in technology. Gaslight Fantasy often draws on gothic horror tropes, so grab your cape, fangs, occult symbols, fae wings, and dancing shoes!
And this coming weekend on October 18th, the Queer Sacramento Authors Collective is trying out a new Pride event – Tri-County Diversity Pride in the Park in Yuba City:
TCDs Pride in the Park 2025 is on Saturday, October 18, 11am-3pm at Sam Brannan Park, 810 Gray Ave Yuba City, with performances, vendors, and more.
Come see us at either (or both)!
