I hate these kinds of things. Blogging about blogging is akin to torture for me, but since I write this site alone I just wanted to let my loyal readers know that the light posting as of late is in no way a sign that this site is going to sink into disuse or despair.
I got married a week ago, and things will remain light as I enjoy my honeymoon, but rest assured that I’ll be back with the usual torrent of geekery after that.
Go see Indiana Jones and tell me what you think…
Andrew Mayer was born on the tiny island of Manhattan, and is still fascinated by their strange customs and simple ways.
When he’s not writing new stories he works as a videogame designer and digital entertainment consultant. Over the years he has has created numerous concepts, characters, and worlds including the original Dogz and Catz digital pets.
These days he resides in Oakland, CA where he spends too much time on the internet, and not enough time playing his ukulele.
In 1880 women aren’t allowed to vote, much less dress up in a costume and fight crime, but twenty-year-old socialite Sarah Stanton still dreams of becoming a hero. Her opportunity arrives in tragedy when the leader of the Society of Paragons, New York’s greatest team of gentlemen adventurers, is murdered right before her eyes. To uncover the truth behind the assassination, Sarah joins forces with the amazing mechanical man known as The Automaton. Together they unmask a conspiracy at the heart of the Paragons that reveals the world of heroes and high-society is built on a crumbling foundation of greed and lies. When Sarah comes face to face with the megalomaniacal villain behind the murder, she must discover if she has the courage to sacrifice her life of privilege and save her clockwork friend.
The Falling Machine (The Society of Steam, Book One) takes place in a Victorian New York powered by the discovery of Fortified Steam, a substance that allows ordinary men to wield extraordinary abilities, and grant powers that can corrupt gentlemen of great moral strength. The secret behind this amazing substance is something that wicked brutes will gladly kill for and one that Sarah must try and protect, no matter what the cost.

Congrats!
And I dig the hat. I am to be betrothed in four weeks and I’d given no thought to headwear, until now.
It’s always good to think about hats!
We actually had an Edwardian/Victorian theme for the wedding, so there were hats aplenty.
Hi cousin Andrew,
Big congrats to you and Kat on the wedding – great to see the picture. Love to have been there, so looking forward to seeing more.
as ever John in England
Congrats!
