About me
I started my creative endeavors with Radio Retrofuture on Youtube, where I discuss Steampunk and retrofuturist fiction. For the last couple of years, I have been working on a series of Steampunk books and comics in collaboration with various illustrators called The Association of Ishtar.
In February/March 2023 I intended to launch the Kickstarter for my second book, Bound for the Styx.

Bound for the Styx
Even if she is just a little rag doll she has an important role in our upcoming release.

"I bought the kindle version and started reading it, and now I'm hooked. Bonsart has created a fascinating new world in which anything can happen... But you can tell that there is a master grand plan."
- Sean March, author of Little Wade and Watchtower
"A truly delicious, swirling gothic steampunk story in a world that feels so three-dimensional that you feel like you could walk through the nearest door and step into it."
-George Penney, Bohemiana podcast, author of OverLondon
