Today I revel in my own achievements for I have published an article in the esteemed Gatehouse Gazette, a most exquisite Steampunk/Dieselpunk periodical.

Please, get yourself a cup of tea or coffee, sit down, download it and enjoy:

Commemorating the anniversary of the birthday of Jules Verne, the Gatehouse Gazette celebrates “Extraordinary Voyages” this issue!

Read an interview with the extraordinary fashion designer Miss Vecona and learn more about the adventure look from Miss Hilde Heyvaert’s “The Steampunk Wardrobe” column. She also tells you just how to be a good villain, that is, in a review of the book that does. So if you are scheming any evildoing some time soon, be sure not to miss out on it!

This issue also sees the addition of two new contributors to the Gazette staff: Miss Ella Kremper with a review of Hammer Film’s 1958 film Dracula and Mr Marcus Rauchfuß who writes about all of interest to the steampunk enthusiast in the city of Munich. And this edition sees the third and final part of Mr Piecraft’s “History of Dieselpunk.” Read how dieselpunk and punk relate in his concluding installment!

Winter drags on and on and on. It’s about time spring started. At least I’ve got a real nice and rather steamy jumper my beloved wife knitted for me which I can wear now and this is great.

I am also still suffering a little from the fact that the trip to Japan had to be cancelled but we hope to make it in autumn. On the plus side, my wife and me will be able to attend our favourite RPG convention in March. The Cave Con in Aschaffenburg, perhaps someone has heard of it. I shall be able to play dress-up and take a few photos, too.

And here’s another image of a Zeppelin to lighten the mood towards the end (or rather, an advert):

Lately I had a lot of grief, so I thought, let’s help myself and other people who feel rather annoyed by the world…

So: Let us send death rays to the people, organisations, ccompanies, bands, etc. we love to hate.

Just press the button. The giant Zeppelin with the cannon will be on its way as soon as I have the money for the Helium in my savings account (Hello Kaupthing…)

It is just a little thing for stress-relieve but in these dire times, every little helps.
