K. W. Jeter
A native of Los Angeles, K. W. Jeter wrote his first novel Dr. Adder in 1972; when published twelve years later, Philip K. Dick praised it as “A masterpiece… a truly wonderful novel.” Jeter later coined the word “steampunk,” in a letter to Locus magazine in April 1987. After residences in England, Spain & Ecuador, he currently lives in Oklahoma City.
K. W. Jeter’s steampunk novels – Morlock Night and the George Dower Trilogy, Infernal Devices, Fiendish Schemes, and Grim Expectations – are available from the publisher Angry Robot.

Charles Mason
Hello, my name is Charles Edward Mason II. I am a costume designer/Steampunk artist. I have been doing this since I was 19 years old when I worked for a Hollywood make-up special effects studio. There I learned the fundamentals which carried me to this day. In 2009 I revamped my artistic purpose and became a full-fledged Steampunk artist. But I don’t only do just Steampunk art. I sculpt, draw, paint, costume design, foam smith, and I am also a pastry chef. I live and breathe art because it gives me the ability to show the world what original art can look like through my imagination & craft.
