Nanowrimo TGIO Party & The Steampowered Globe book launch!
Yes! Spread the word on our Nanowrimo Thank Goodness It’s Over party and our steampunk book launch! Come along if you’re interested in Nanowrimo (even though it’s ended by then) or if you’ve tried to do it an either succeeded/failed/gone meh and will try another time. You can bring your friends too in case you feel alone but from the previous parties, pretty much everyone become pals with each other very quickly.
On our steampunk anthology book launch, it is titled The Steampowered Globe and available for just $15 at the event!
It’s usually $18++ at Kino and other stores cause they’ll add in GST. Anyway, the first anthology of steampunk short stories by Two Trees and I could probably guess, the first in Singapore too since I have never seen another one like this before.
Bring even more friends and support this book by buying it cause the bulk of the writers are Nanowrimo-ers too!
The stories:
Ascension by Leow Hui Min Annabeth
No, They Dream Of Mechanical Hearts by Claire Cheong
Morrow’s Knight by Viki Chua
Colours by Yuen Xiang Hao
The Morning Glory Incident by Mint Kang
Help! Same Angler Fish’s Been Gawking for Eight Minutes! by Ng Kum Hoon
Captain Bells and the Sovereign State of Discordia by JY Yang
So yes, anyone is free to come. If you know people who like writing or reading, double plus if they like steampunk, they should come. ALSO, the dresscode will be steampunk. Or at least, that is encouraged.
You can wear whatever you want, usually when visiting a library if you don’t have any steampunk attire but really, when else besides conventions can you wear it?

SDS 3.25 – Trogdor (aka The Singapore Writers Festival affair)
Jo and I got invited to the opening of the Singapore Writers Festival. Since it was evening and we could make it, well, we decided to go! As we approached the tent, we glimpsed Dave Chua of Gone Case but ALAS, he disappeared as we entered for that evening was also the opening of an exhibition by Sonny Liew elsewhere which I didn’t know and also the launch of the Gone Case 2, the graphic novel.
NO MATTER, so we bust into the tent like the writers we are.
Which is to say we pushed opened the doors and pretty much walked in after saying our names at the sign in area.

SDS 3.17 – Waiting for the End
There was a lot of queuing for that week of 3 September.
Eggs and lemons it is! Plus a recipe.
Ok. So I did receive eggs and a clue for the third piece! In fact, I finished the whole puzzle so here’s what the fourth item is.
Hear me roar!
For those following this earlier last week, HBO Asia’s sending me clues for a Game of Thrones event. Well, the next clue is sugar. We had flour and now sugar. What are we doing for this Game of Thrones?
Winter is coming!
A mysterious email (not really) and a yes from me sent a deliveryman to hand this over.
It is a bag of flour.
And it is a clue.
To bake some cookies? NYAHAHAHAH. No. No, it is not although I am tempted to give the bag of flour to be traded for some more cookies.
SDS 3.10 – Black or White
Ah, we managed to catch An Ode to Penguin, an exhibition of Penguin books by Books Actually! It was at The Arts House’ Gallery, at the second floor of the building.
Lurker
Ho ho ho, Lauren Kate, the author of Fallen, Torment, Passion and The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove was in Singapore to do some appearances!
I went to Lauren Kate’s first at the Serangoon Public Library. The other appearances would be at the books stores and the Jurong library for that day. Anyway, I was early. Like, super early so I lurked around near the shelves standing around and reading children books where the Granny had alzheimer’s and couldn’t make her golden soup right (?!?) and that the children had to understand and stuff. (I continued to read about lonely hippos having a party and some cat who wanted to be other animals but yeah, ok.)
Of writery stuff
Quite a few interesting events! Firstly on Saturday…
