Join Gail Carriger, Beth Cato and Mindy Tarquini, all wonderful authors of novels filled with wonderous magic and mystery as they discuss their points of view on alternative earth histories where magic, the paranormal or time travel are real.
“Why use magic at all?”
“How d you know there wasn’t vampires and werewolves running around Victorian England?”
“I want to write about airships!”
"And that is Steampunk ladies and gentlemen!"
"...love steampunk and make it their own!"
This panel was moderated by our friend David Lee Summers!
