A Story in the Steampunk Fantasy Universe
If Gottfried Leibniz had published his work on binary numbers and if Charles Babbage had read it, if Prince Albert had lived to a ripe old age and Victoria not become a bitter widow, the late XIX Century might have turned out like this!

And now for something completely different. Once upon a time, Bob Fischer was a professional hit man, a torturer and psychotic, emotionless murderer. He was also a parent any child would love to have and a genius inventor, making multi-millions on his patents and who just happened to live in Paradise. Note that Garrigeld Island, Bender Bay and Bungun don't exist. Don't you just wish they did? And all this is written archetypally in Australian.
Like all my stories, this has religious overtones. If you don't like that, don't read it! It's a romance with a science fiction twist thrown in. Some different directions for them from other scifi treatments. Happy endings are nice things.
