One Mill-ion Ways to Steampunk...

On Saturday, I'll be venturing up into the north for a visit to Burnley, Lancashire, and the Third Steampunk Market at the Mill.  This event, now in it's third year (which you may have guessed from the title), is held in a gen-u-ine working textile mill.  Not only does it work, it'll be working over the weekend, with the steam engines scheduled to run at 1pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday only, the 1pm steam engines will be followed by more extreme steaming - as fellow author Steven C. Davis and I bring the near- legendary pun-fest that is StarWars: Steampunk'd to the event.  As usual, we will be expecting you, dear audience, to retell the classic first Star Wars film in true steampunk style.  Each time we've done this we've had a very different result, so we're looking forward to seeing what Burnley comes up with!  These are the puns you are looking for.  The farce is strong in these ones.

Of course, alongside the workshop, we'll also be about with our books, including daring tales of derring-do, killer robots and Victorian -style prostitutes in my The Automata Wars series, and more!  So do pop along to have a chat with us throughout the day if you're there.  And of course, you'll also find yourself able to avail yourself of a wonderful Victorian photographic experience (Note:  This does not involve actual time-travel), Punch and Judy shows, mad scientists, market stalls, apothecary and hot food, all while you're there!  Hope you can make it...
