Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(? -? ) Canadian author whose interest in "fringe" Religion seems not directly to impact upon his long involvement with Steampunk as a way of seeing the world with joy and engagement. He is of sf interest for the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency series beginning with The Case of the Missing Moonstone (2015), featuring Mary Shelley (the agency being named after her mother) and Ada Lovelace. The sequence, written for the younger edge of the Young Adult market, carries its protagonists through various mysteries in an Alternate History Steampunk nineteenth-century Britain. A singleton, Mechanicals (2012 ebook), also Steampunk, is set in an Alternate History version of the Crimean War. [JC]
