Questionable Minds - Fraser Sherman

Fraser Sherman has a new historical steampunk mystery book out: Questionable Minds. In Victorian England, 1888, there are those who say Sir Simon Taggart is under the punishment of God.

POINT OF VIEW: Launching a New Thing

by
Liminal Fiction

I’ve always had my head in the stars. One of my early memories is when we went to our neighbor’s back yard to watch the lunar eclipse, and to stare in awe as the moon became blood red. As a kid, I wanted to be one of two things – an astronomer or an astronaut. Those dreams lasted into my teens, until I realized a) astronomy requires a helluva lot of math, not just staring at the heavens, and b) I wasn’t nearly enough of an athlete to be an astronaut. I hade a brief rekindling of hope when I … Read more
