Hiedbound Hump Day — Cornelis Drebbel 12

Ribs good food but not ideal to rain upon one.

Straightlaced Saturday Day — Cornelis Drebbel 11

I prefer pancakes to frogs. Poor Cornelis!

Steampunk woman Noel Nichols Unsplash.png Welcome back to Hidebound Hump Day, and another episode of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. If you enjoyed my 1920s stories about Paisley Idelle Peabody, aka Pip — keep an eye out. My characters begin to feel left out when I start new stories. Keep an eye out in this episode.

This time we finish with the last in the set of “three things” — Airtights.

Previously with Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers

Chapter 10.

Felicity pieced events together and concluded that their foes were after the priceless Leonardo da Vinci papers that were hidden inside the owl-shaped lamp. She also figured out that a familiar voice she heard (when they came dangerously close to one group of their pursuers) belonged to Sheriff Alvin Bullard.

We are about to learn how they came to be surrounded by old crates and…

A Revealing Straightlaced Saturday — Cornelis Drebbel 9

Cover Copper Alchemist Woman n Trousers It’s another “Revealing” Straightlaced Saturday. The first blogger I got acquainted with — back in November of 2012, for National Novel Writing Month, was Mary J McCoy-Dressel. In 2015 she provided the “things/ingredients” for Wednesday’s episode and for this one. Mary made an off-handed, fanciful comment about destiny… and as you saw in episode 8, I ran with it. You’ll also find “Destiny” in her collection of cowboy romance novels.

Today I’m giving a shout-out for Mary’s cover reveal of Hooked by Sundown. Keep an eye on her blog for details. At this writing, I know the book is almost ready. It might even be available by the time this post goes live.

Mary J McCoy-Dressel, western romance author, Book Three Canyon Junction: Hearts in Love Series, Blog Post Cover Reveal This episode brings us to the third of the three things from Mary J McCoy-Dressel. Let’s see how “ceramic statue” came into the story.

This is such a wonderful tour Teagan and Rob’s art is fantastic as always!

Teagan's Books

Opening Announcement Welcome to my art gallery. Today the venue is the #steampunk submarine of Cornelis Drebbel, who graciously allowed us into his domain.

I’m excited to present the artwork of Rob Goldstein, who illustrated Hullaba Lulu. Please join me for a stroll through the submarine to view his images.

Yes, that’s the first piece of Rob’s art on display ― Sea World. Isn’t it calming?

Sea World

First, we need to go to San Francisco to pick up Rob, the guest of honor. Cornelis, it feels like we are already under weigh. I’m surprised you put your book down without a fight. What was all that clicking about? What do you mean click you?

Cornelis: No, click me, not click you. “Click Me Happy.” It’s exciting for me to be able to choose the book’s ending, Teagan. But I simply couldn’t pick one. So, I…

This is getting truly exciting, can’t wait to see who all the guest are.

Girl with Cherries Welcome back to Hidebound Hump Day and the next episode of the steampunk serial. The next random “thing” a reader left to drive the plot of this story should come as no surprise — “steam engine.” Let’s see if I use it in a way you expect. (winks)

Previously with Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers

Chapter 6. The handsome innkeeper, Ignatius Belle, has caught Felicity’s eye. Yet Copper is decidedly distrustful of the tall man. Who is right? Is Felicity thinking with her head or her… erm… heart? What about that sheriff? Can we trust him? More worrisome than whom to trust and not, Cornelis disappeared with a disconcerting “flat” pop.
