![]() ![]() Now that I’ve shared my childhood inspiration with all of you, feel free to comment below on what inspired you to write Steampunk. Here are some Western themed photos from members of Houston’s local Steampunk community. Though I haven’t written any western themed Steampunk yet, I live in an area where western Steampunk costumes and personas are popular. ![]() I know now that The Wild Wild West was Steampunk. With that in mind, click on the Wild Wild West video for some background music for the post. I was eight or nine when The Wild Wild West show began on TV and I was crazy about it. I can tell people I’m cosplaying a character form my daydreams when I was seven. Why not? I should find some fabric like that and have a prairie dress made for myself. The heroine of those daydreams, the buffalo rider’s wife, always wore a blue and white print frontier style dress. In one daydream series my hero road a buffalo – I was six or seven and it made perfect sense at the time. When I was eight, I discovered the Little House On The Prairie books, those page turners were the first series I ever read and historical fiction has been one of my favorite genres ever since.Īround the age of six on up to about eight, I use to daydream what I called TV in my head and except for one series of mine – fan fiction based on Flash Gordon – all the others were westerns. ![]() I always loved the Victorian era, I think because of all those western shows I use to watch growing up: The Riffle Man, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Bonanza, The Virginian, and Wagon Train. In To Love The London Ghost I even combined Victorian history with ancient Celtic history as my heroine is a ghost who died on the banks of the Thames fighting Julius Ceasar. The move into Steampunk was a natural one for me. I moved from history to alternate history with Steampunk. I began writing historical romances, Celtic ones, set in the Bronze ages, Iron ages, and Dark ages. ![]()
