Dakota Coe grew up in England, where he learned to love Industrial-Revolution era engineering, sculpture, hiking, and quirky historical culture. As a teen, he adventured around the world on a shoestring, then studied science and engineering in England before moving to California, making microchips, hiking as many U.S. National Parks as he could get to, getting a law degree, and writing a little fiction on the side. Dakota believes in fearlessly meeting the world where it’s at and using a little imagination to explore the beautiful possibilities beyond. Steampunk is his chosen genre; and disability, possibility, art and technology his themes
