Guest: O.M. Grey

Olivia M. Grey dreams of the dark streets of London and the decadent deeds that occur after sunset. She dons a tight corset, a fluffy bustle, and a teeny-tiny top hat for fantasy conventions where she enjoys meeting fans and participating on panels. Olivia prefers to live in the cobwebbed corners of her dark mind writing paranormal romance with a Steampunk twist.

Ms. Grey blogs and podcasts relationship articles covering such topics as alternative lifestyles, deepening intimacy, and ending a relationship with love and respect. Additionally, she writes poetry and short stories, both of which have been published in various anthologies and magazines. She has completed two novels and his working on a third for an early 2012 release.
Her premiere Steampunk Paranormal Romance novel, Avalon Revisited , is an Amazon.com Gothic Romance bestseller. Look for the release of the anthology Caught in the Cogs, containing short stories, poetry, and a sampling of relationship essays, in December 2011.
Ms. Grey is represented by the fabulous Louise Fury of the L. Perkins Agency.

AnachroCon 2012 Guest – Adam Smith

Professional Costumer & Prop Builder
Adam Smith, former graphic artist, goldsmith, watchmaker, IT corporate-slave and renfest booth owner, currently splits his wage-earning time between vending his handcrafted leatherwares at various conventions and festivals, and building costume and prop pieces for the film industry.

As his Steampunk alter-ego “Phineas Phlensing, Esq.”, he is a gentleman of questionable and shady background, a dinosaur big-game hunter, and a tinkerer and inventor of various weaponry and gadgets, harnessing electrical aether, gunpowder and raw metal in equal measures. Do not be fooled by his easy and likeable demeanor: he WILL trick you into purchasing his tavern beverages for him.
