For our final stop on this book blog tour we travel back to the States for my second guest blog post on David Lee Summer's Web journal.

I met David on the original Scribblers' Den steampunk writers' forum. He's an author, editor (science fiction and fantasy magazine, Tales of the Talisman) and sky-watcher, living somewhere between the western and final frontiers in Southern New Mexico. I'm quite jealous of his job at the observatory.

And now for a quick stopover back in Adelaide before heading out for the next leg of the book blog tour - and a bit about my books for those who are reading about me for the first time. I'm currently finishing off the third book in my Victorian steampunk mystery series - The Adventures of Viola Stewart.  You'll find out more about the characters on Friday (Australian Central Standard Time) in my final stopover in this tour.

The Illusioneer & Other Tales: The Adventures of Viola Stewart Journal #3 (paperback collection of all three stories) is the final set of Viola's adventures in this series and is currently scheduled for publication late October. There are three novella-length stories:

• 'From the Depths' - Viola needs a holiday. But even at the beach, things are afoot.
• 'Tomorrow, When I Die' - A knock on the door could change everything. It's just a matter of time.
• 'The Illusioneer' - Seeing is believing. Or is it?
