Steampunk Beginnings: The Authors

K.W. Jeter, Tim Powers, James Blaylock.

They met while studying English Literature at Cal State Fullerton, They became close friends and occasional collaborators; the trio have half-seriously referred to themselves as "steampunks" in contrast to the prevailing cyberpunk genre of the 1980s. Jeter coined the term Steampunk in 1987.

Tim, I really look forward to meeting you soon. I am the curator of the Steampunk Beginnings show at CSUF. I pitched the idea to the Gallery about 2 1/2 years ago.

I'm betting one of the authors have dibs on this image, but if you ever decide to sell prints of it or the Homunculus image, I'd love to know! These are great!
