Through Glass Darkly: Episode Three

Read Through Glass Darkly: Episode Three Storyline:

‘The monstrous creature that has been haunting the city’s streets has been injured, but at a cost almost unbearable to the remaining crew of the Golden Goose and the small number of allies within city’s Police and Fire services that have come to trust them.

But how badly has the creature been injured, and how long will it take before it returns to wreak its terrible revenge?

The dedication and sacrifice of the mysterious strangers that appeared in the night skies above the city’s streets is now surely beyond question, but their mastery and command of powerful new technologies has also not gone unnoticed by the powers that be.’

Frequently asked questions – answered by the author.
Question: Where did the inspiration for the Glass Darkly series come from?

Answer: For the main-part the inspiration came from two sources: My lifelong love of great science fiction, and the well-established steam-punk scene which has really started to flourish in the UK and other countries over the past few years.
Question: What about other authors, your website mentions that you’ve enjoyed reading Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and numerous other writers of classic fiction, but are there any more recent authors you consider to be an influence on your writing?

Answer: Mark Hodder is one of my current favourites, his Burton and Swinburne books are pure genius, crazy genius most of the time, but fantastic with it. Jim Butcher is another great outside the box author.
Question: Both your Glass Darkly and your Flames of Time stories are set in the 1930s, is there something about this period that you find particularly interesting and will we continue to see your stories in this period?

Answer: I’d like to say there’s some great and convoluted reason for setting my stories in the 1930s, but in actuality I set my Flames of Time series in the 30s because of a simple plot device relating to when the narrator is telling the story. Once I’d decided on the time period and started doing my research I realised there was so much about those inter-war years that seemed so similar to how we live today, while there were obviously other aspects which are almost un-recognisable. It’s this blend of the familiar and alien that I thought would make a great setting for the low-fantasy type of stories that I like to tell.
