Hello. My name is Margaret Taylor and Steam Trains and Ghosts is my personal blog. I’m a resident of the Twin Cities an avid writer of science fiction and fantasy. I like to write about rules-based magic, unusual people and places, particularly nonhuman characters, and biotech and AI. I’m part of the leadership of MinnSpec, a group for Minnesota speculative fiction writers.
I have published fiction on Amazon, Smashwords, and in MinnSpec anthologies. I’ve also written science fact for the American Society of Plant Biologists, the University of Minnesota, and LKT Laboratories.
The lovely logo in the background was crafted by MN-based art student Mark Reif. You can find his website here at The Whole 9.
If you’ve got something to say about Steam Trains and Ghosts, I’d love you to drop me a line!

Thanks!
Hi! I just read “The Confederacy of Heaven”, and enjoyed it greatly. (Review at bard_bloom.livejournal.com, if you like). I liked it enough so that I just acquired Griselda by largely-honest means.
(I write fantasy too: my free web-serial is at sythyry.com).
Thanks very much!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the link – I just checked out your site!
Just finished reading The Confederacy of Heaven a great read enjoyed it very much and think it could use a follow up as in what becomes of Nasan, Capt. Lunde. Do they get Systems Integrated working, what becomes og the 12 clans. So much more could be a couple more books in this theme after all there are still exiled Stars arouind
Thanks a lot, Al. I’m not sure about a sequel yet, there could be one.
Hello! Grizelda and the confed of heaven were wonderful! Unlike anything i have read before but they both left with such terrible cliffhangers… i hope to see much more from you in the future and really appreciate your work!
Just wanted to say I love the name of your blog!
Your description of your blog is so comforting. I’m interested in so many things but always thought my blog should be restricted to just one thing. Now I see I can explore other things and be successful! 🙂
Just got an e-reader so now I can take my e-books on the road. I have just downloaded your novel “The Confederacy of Heaven” it is a great read so far. I hope to read more of your work in the future. Thank you.
Thanks, I’m glad you’re liking it. And there will be more where that came from.
Hey Margaret! I don’t know if you’re doing award posts or not, but I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award: http://carrieslager.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/the-very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Thanks! I’m going to have to think about what to put in that post.
Here’s another award to think on because you definitely deserve the extra exposure: http://carrieslager.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/the-liebster-award/#more-3821 The Liebster Award is a little more involved than the Very Inspiring Blogger Award, so I completely understand if you don’t want to accept it right now. 🙂
