Vintage postcard of a Savannah, GA garden

Welcome to the garden party, my chuckaboos!  I’m glad you are here.  Heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited, hosted (so far), and supported the launch of Hullaba Lulu, a Dieselpunk Adventure this week. I’ll be visiting other blogs throughout the coming week.  You’re all pos-i-lutely swell.   

Wow, it’s already October.  Another wow is this episode number — 50. I’ve never taken a serial to 50 chapters before.  A very small part of my mind tells me that I should be celebrating a landmark episode… but I’m not.

A “meanwhile” effort has been in progress over the past ten months.  At night I’ve been editing a novella that was a serial here on my blog in 2018.  Hullaba Lulu, a Dieselpunk Adventure is finally at the dieselpunk train station.  Since some weekend readers aren’t available for…

Welcome to another episode of The Delta Pearl, my chuckaboos.  

And now, after posting, I see that WordPress has messed with me again. Sigh… I thought I had given a shout out to Resa, for her “thing” Gibson Girl hairdo. But that disappeared. Now it will have to wait until morning when I hope to be able to use the Internet. 

Previously the Delta Pearl apparently had greater needs than any of the crew anticipated, because she instigated her bonding ceremony with the librarian from Cairo, IL much sooner than anyone expected. Not only that, but Victor accidentally got pulled into it as well.  The bonding seemed to be complete, but there were interruptions, so we can’t really be…
