John is one of our overseas members, a former Minnesotan now residing in the United Kingdom. He is still active on the group message boards, offering his thoughts and opinions on a variety of matters important to writers.
“Unbelieving Jaxx” is one of the longer pieces in the anthology, a twisting turning tale of an alternate world of steam tech and powerful magic written very much in the style of Victorian speculative literature. I am quite pleased to present it here.
“Unbelieving Jaxx” originally appeared serialized in Steampunk Tales issues #6, #7, and #8
