Nestled in the mountains of California, Olivia M. Grey lives in the cobwebbed corners of her mind writing paranormal romance with a Steampunk twist. As a writer, podcaster, and speaker, Olivia focuses her poetry and prose on alternative lifestyles and deliciously dark matters of the heart.

She also currently has two other titles available: The Zombies of Mesmer, a YA Steampunk Romance, Caught in the Cogs: An Eclectic Collection of short stories, love poetry, and relationship essays.
Ms. Grey’s poem “New York Rain” made the Bar None Group’s Hall of Fame, and her short story “Dust on the Davenport,” as well as her bestselling Steamy Steampunk novel Avalon Revisited, won the 2012 Steampunk Chronicle’s Reader’s Choice Award for best short story and best novel, respectively. Olivia was voted “Muse of the Fair” at the 2011 Steampunk World’s Fair and has enjoyed being a literary guest at several Steampunk Conventions.
Ms. Grey is represented by the fabulous Louise Fury of the L. Perkins Agency.
Nothing like I expected. I was looking for Steampunk ... there was a little of that. But a lot of other stuff, and a lot more "adult" than I'd expected. When it got to the poetry section and finally the "essays" I gave up.
Some good stories, with unexpected twists, hence the 2 stars. If it wasn't for those.......
