BIOGRAPHY E. G. Gaddess is the pen name of an author from Norfolk, Virginia; this name was chosen to honor her grandparents. E. G. (Edwina Georgina, if anyone is wondering) lives with her husband, his dog, and her two cats in a small brick ranch. She grew up reading Gothic romance and juvenile mystery (think Trixie Belden rather than Nancy Drew). She's more Victorian than Steampunk, but loves that in a Steampunk world you can make your own history.
