The purpose of this website is to promote The Raspero Chronicles, a steampunk fantasy set in a far-distant future long after the collapse of our own civilisation. There will be seven Raspero novels, each of which can be read as a stand-alone novel independent of the others. So far two novels of the septology have been published.
Additionally, this website hosts the author’s blog, The Way of Raspero, which is dedicated to finding a path into traditional metaphysics through the dialogues of Plato.
