Happy New Year Teagan. I took a bit of time off so late to the party. Looking forward to the "little shifting of ‘the in to the out’… Tucking a bit from this reality into the next" What could go wrong?

Straightlaced Saturday — Cornelis Drebbel 22.1
Saturday, December 15 , 2018
It’s Straightlaced Saturday! Welcome aboard the #SteamPunk train. Our destination is the northern Pacific coast of the USA, during the Victorian Era. We’re headed for another episode of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers.
Back in 2015, the random “three things” for this chapter were provided by John W. Howell at Fiction Favorites. As some of you might remember, this serial was originally a culinary mystery. John sent some delicious things to drive the episode. Consider yourselves warned that reading may give you the munchies.
Since I know you have a lot of other things to do on the weekend, I’ve divided this rather long chapter. The third thing will play out on Hidebound Hump Day.

When I was ready to publish Atonement in Bloom, blogger extraordinaire Dan Antion did the first ever (as far as we know) fictional Thursday Doors post. He used doors and buildings from his part of the country that made him think of my quirky fantasy town in Tennessee.
Recently, with the photos Dan posted for Thursday Doors, he shared more of the images he considered for that Atonement promo post. Among those photos was an old barn that reminded me of a scene from Atonement in Bloom. Dan gave me permission to use it here. So, I decided to share another snippet from my latest novel.
Based on my blog posts, anyone might think my Atonement novels are all about animals. However, the core of the story is an everyday person whose plate is full with a real world that…

Welcome back to Hidebound Hump Day, my chuckaboos! (I do love the Victorian vernacular, even if it is harder to use than Roaring Twenties slang.) Find your seat on the #SteamPunk train. We’re headed for another episode of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers.
Do you remember I told you that it was many episodes into the serial before the “things” brought me the name of the woman in trousers — Felicity? Have you noticed that she didn’t have a surname? This episode caused her to need a last name. Also, remember the “clues” I’ve been dropping? Here comes another one. On with the story.
