It's Viola Stewart's birthday on 23rd April (same as Shakespeare), and I'll be in Dimboola for the Wimmera Steampunk Festival.

So, I'm celebrating her birthday (and all things steampunk) by giving everyone who attends my talk at the Wimmera Steampunk Festival (Sunday 23rd April, 2pm at the Dimboola Imaginarium) with a sneak peek copy of my upcoming steampunk short story collection.
