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 for April 11 in the Drachenwinkel , a book shop (dragon nook book shop)
