It was a time of great excitement regarding invention, which happened to have cool clothing. <br /><br />I'm laughing because all this time I'd been impressed with the production and design teams of those movies, never realizing the concept gained not only an entire following but a Title and clothing. :) Great - KristiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325706421952281177.post-71369298011355877842010-01-08T17:20:43.762-05:002010-01-08T17:20:43.762-05:00Thank you so much for the compliment, Helen!

It is a lot of fun creating the steam driven devices. I've centered the mystery/murder around the creation of one device. <br /><br />I'm finding the genre fun to write - crossing my fingers that it will last. :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.com
