Our guest this month is Karen J Carlisle, author of Victorian Steampunk & fantasy novels, including stories about the adventures of Viola Stewart, Homesian mysteries featuring Mrs Hudson, and Adelaide’s Aunt Enid, protector extraordinaire.
Karen first fell in love with science fiction when she saw Doctor Who, as a four-year old.
Her short stories have featured in the 2016 Adelaide Fringe exhibition, and the ‘A Trail of Tales’, ‘Where’s Holmes?’, ‘Deadsteam’ and ‘Sherlock is a Girl’s Name’ anthologies.
She writes full-time and can often be found plotting fantastical, piratical or airship adventures, and co-writing the occasional musical ditty.
Karen has always loved dark chocolate and rarely refuses a cup of tea.
This meeting will feature the launch of the brand new Aunt Enid book, Twixtmas
It’s Twixtmas: the odd, dream-like time between Christmas and New Year when time slows, days blur, and the connections between the Otherworlds and ours are at their thinnest.
Anything is possible.
And accidents can happen.
Join Sally as she’s transported to an Otherworld on a rescue mission – where Protectors are forbidden to tread.
Twixtmas is a portal fantasy with characters from The Aunt Enid Mysteries.
Critical Mass will meet at 6:30pm on Wednesday, February 19th at the Minor Works Building,
22 Stamford Court, Adelaide.
[If you enter from Sturt Street, there’s an open path between 50 and 52 Sturt Street
leading to the community centre]
For those who can’t make it in person, they’re welcome to join us via zoom
