Yesterday, there was a Steampunk reading on at the FAB (Frankfurt Art Bar http://www.frankfurtartbar.de ) in Frankfurt. The event was great fun. The following authors read from their Steampunk ( or 19th century gothic novel) books: – Oliver Plaschka: Der Kristallpalast (The Crystal Palace) – Judith & Christian Vogt: Die zerbrochene Puppe (The broken doll) – And I: Schwingen aus Stein (Wings of Stone) The FAB is a wonderful culture and music pub in Frankfurt and Janice, the landlady, had kindly let us loose among her clientele. There were many steampunk friends, some in Steampunk costume. The Feder&Schwert Publishing had sent a donation of books for us to hand to the winners of the costuming competition and these beautiful Steampunk novels now all have found a good steampunky home. We enjoyed the evening immensely and so, I think, did the audience. A similar event featuring the same authors is scheduled…
