Mike Perschon: I teach English full-time at MacEwan University, research steampunk and speculative literature, and giant monsters. I speak at cons and conferences, and draw and write in my spare time. I am as avid a FRPG player as one can be with kids, a wife, and a yard.

What people are saying about Mike Perschon, Steampunk Scholar

"...one of Canada's most honourable and brilliant thinkers... He truly is a man of many talents. In the steampunk arena he has proven himself time and again to be open minded, thorough, direct and detailed in his reviews and academic works on various media from art to literature, film and even the obscure. He has been a wonderful panelist and presenter at various gatherings in Canada and the United States. I expect he will be invited to attend many more as people learn more about him. He is a true gentleman with a wonderful sense of humour and wonder. His students are indeed lucky."
- Lee Ann Farruga, Steampunk Canada

"The Steampunk Scholar is my new blog crush. The guy is living my dream. He is doing research on a really awesome topic with cool conferences, the chance to role play and dress up in period clothes, and, best of all, having normal people probably [find] it interesting."- Historiographic Anarchy

"The Steampunk Scholar is a brilliant in-depth resource on all things steampunk fiction." - Louise Curtis

"For excellent reviews of the growing Steampunk literary genre, do make a point to visit (then bookmark) the Steampunk Scholar." - Steampunk Tribune

"Some of the best scholarship being done on the subject of Steampunk has been by Mike Perschon on his blog, Steampunk Scholar." - Christopher J. Garcia

"His explanation of how to define Steampunk was the most clever and concise version I’ve ever heard..." J.M. Frey

"...the most well-read of all the voices in the steampunk movement." - Jonathan D. Beer
