Adelaide Steampunk Festival 2019
September is my favourite time of the year (but I’m possibly biased: it’s my birthday month AND I get steampunky festival goodness to celebrate!
There were even more artists and authors in the market this year.
And creative interpretations of steampunk fashion.

Official Book Launch Video Live!
I officially launched The Department of Curiosities during the Adelaide Steampunk Festival. The video has now been uploaded to my youtube channel and will go public in about a week or so.
The full back cover blurb:
A steampunk tale of adventure, a heroine, mad scientists, traitors and secrets. All for the good of the Empire.
Miss Matilda Meriwether has a secret.
Actually, she has several.
One of them has shaped her adult life. Another now controls it. Her Majesty Queen Victoria has control of the Empire. She is the Empire, and creator of its secrets.
Sir Avery works for The Department of Curiosities – the keepers of secrets – especially if they are useful to the Empire.
When Tillie finds herself in the employment of The Department of Curiosities, she realises this is the perfect opportunity to uncover the truth she has been searching for. But the Queen has other plans for her.
Watch the Official Book Launch Video, now live!
If you’re in Australia, you can buy a copy of ‘The Department of Curiosities’ at Adelaide Supanova and Brisbane Supanova in November. I’ll be in the Artist Alley.

Guest Blog Post at The Passing Place
Mark Hayes (who wrote a lovely review of ‘The Department of Curiosities’) is opening his metaphorical arms and welcoming me in – this time for a guest blog post.
The brief? Anything on writing, steampunk, my own books… I thought I’d touch on it all, and revisit a ‘Steampunk Hands Around the World’ post from 2017, which is still very relevent for me today.
You can read it on his blog, The Passing Place, tommorrow (UK time) around noon – about 9.30 pm Adelaide time, I think.

Latest 'The Department of Curiosities' Bookreads Review
Authors love people reading their books. We love reviews too!
The first Goodreads review for ‘The Department of Curiosities’ was posted recently.
“Having purchased this book from the author at the Adelaide Steampunk Festival this year (2019) I didn’t want to leave it too long without being read. The most recent book I’ve read with dirigibles in it was the post-apocalyptic “Mortal Engines” series. Carlisle’s novel though is set in Queen Victoria’s steam-powered British Empire, of which Australia is very much a part…(snip)
If you like a bit of mystery and action, not to mention the mechanical “curiosities” of the inventive steampunk realm, you’ll probably enjoy this book. I did.” – Kerry Hennigan.

As you know, I love tea! This year we had tea tasting at the Adelaide Steampunk Festival.
The second video from this year’s Adelaide Steampunk Festival is a tea tasting. Of course! (Now if there’d only been chocolate…) Thanks to Ali at Wyverstone Tea for allowing me to create this video.
I bought the Petals and Nettles, and highly recomend it!
