Here's a fine digital sketch by Kaek J Kaekington of the armoured cities of the Traktionstadtsgeselleshaft from Infernal Devices / A Darkling Plain, looking very much as they did in my mind's eye when I was writing those books.
It's always nice, and kind of strange, to see someone using my stuff as a springboard for paintings, models or animations, so I was pleased to hear from Carrie Louise Jones, who contacted me via my Facebook page to say:
You can find Carrie's questionnaire here: there are already some good responses. (I'm fighting off the temptation to fill it in myself, but I think people might be less likely to give their own opinions about how things look and what they mean if I'd been on and given my own answers.)
Also on the Facebook page, Candice Foers-Bates got in touch to let me know about a new steampunk festival which will be taking place in Doncaster on the 15th and 16th June this year. I have my doubts about steampunk, as you may know (I think I've decided that it makes a nice seasoning, but not much of a dish), but Steampunk Doncaster looks as if it will be be fun. I'm afraid it's too far for me to go (I have commitments in the south around the same time) but hopefully it will be such a huge success that it will become a fixture of Doncaster life and I'll be able to attend in future years.
