Thanksgiving Victorian girl turkey dress-up Welcome to Hidebound Hump Day. Find your seat. The #SteamPunk train is preparing to leave the station. Oh, and buckle up, because we may encounter some dangerous curves.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the USA. No matter where you are, I am thankful to have you on this train. My wish for all of you is that every day be filled with friends, laughter, and an abundance of all good things.

I know everyone is busy, and wants to get to a benjo holiday with all their chuckaboos. So I’ve divided chapter 18 to give you a shorter read. This chapter will continue next week. I’ll get on with the story.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who got on the party bus for the launch of Atonement in Bloom! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate everyone who hosted the launch post, reblogged, allowed me to use images, and otherwise helped me promote my new novel. If you missed the launch, don’t worry. The double-decker bus is still rolling! Just click the back arrow at the bottom of this post. Beep-beep yeah!

Welcome back to the spontaneously written, #SteamPunk serial, Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. Maybe you’ve heard me mention that I seem to have a physical need for color. I used to wear black occasionally — it’s a color. However, I’ve seen so very, very much of where I’ve lived this past decade, that I mostly avoid it now. If I wear…

Glad to see Cornelis back, but did “the Woman in Trousers” make a mistake by revealing them?

It’s Hidebound Hump Day, and another episode of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. There was not a Straightlaced Saturday chapter last week, so today we pick up where we left off a week ago.

Remember I’ve mentioned that this serial was originally presented as a “culinary” mystery. All of the random “things” that drove this spontaneously written chapter were food related. How do you think I used all those food things to create a story?

Chapter 12.

The alchemist’s head cold continued to wreak havoc with magical sneezes. However, that didn’t keep our heroes from noticing that someone or some thing was headed their way. Felicity and Cornelis argued about whether or not they should make a stand. Then the woman in trousers noticed that Copper wasn’t there…

All aboard!

Cover Copper Alchemist Woman n Trousers Welcome back to Hidebound Hump Day, and another episode of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. My blog-writing time is limited to the weekend, and it was a very busy one. So without further ado, here’s chapter 12.

Chapter 11.

Felicity thought one of the voices she heard back at the Hixon estate could have belonged to Sheriff Alvin Bullard. Thanks to the magically juiced road locomotive, Copper, the alchemist, and the woman in trousers outdistanced the three presumably hostile groups that pursued them. However, when the speeding engine took a turn too fast, the woman and the skull of the alchemist ended up in the frigid waters of the river. The resultant head colds for those two temporarily stalled their adventure. Not to mention the strange things that rained down when the…
