Just a few weeks until Halloween! Is your costume ready or have you started? Laura Meyer returns to help us and tell about her new murder mystery Kickstarter. She was last with us when her first book, The Victorian Collection: Advanced Costuming Techniques was kickstarting and now its in our hot little hands. Her new game certainly reveals more of Laura's weakness for puns and cheeky turn of phrase.

This week we dive into the weird sexual views of the era where steampunk pulls so much inspiration. The strategy and rules arranging marriage, the denial of women's sexual needs, and men's as well, the expectations of the wifely role, and lack of women's rights in Victorian England and America.
