Wow, you’re the berries! I’m glad to see you back at Jazz Age Wednesdays!

When I posted a Halloween story, Pip in the Field of Fear, you got to meet Pip’s friend Hank Hertz. Those of you who have read Murder at the Bijou — Three IngredientsI also know Hank. Awhile back, I collaborated on a post with Kirt Tisdale at The Wall Gallery. Kirt also has a “sepia gallery” which is giving me a lot of inspiration for The Skull of the Alchemist (my National Novel Writing Month project).
