Firefrost by Camille Longley My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a page-turner. I read it in one sitting. If you like an enemy to lovers' story this one is an excellent read.

Welcome, my chuckaboos, to another episode ashore in my fictional, Victorian Era version of Cairo, Illinois.

Last year, just as this riverboat left the dock, Rob Goldstein left an amazing “random reader thing.” It’s Telectroscope. Read on to learn what that is.

Now we return to Émeraude and Eliza. I think Victor and Randall are about to join them. Without further ado…

All aboard!

Wait a minute — the steampunk riverboat is here? Well, dash my wig! Welcome my chuckaboos! Don’t worry, you aren’t arfarfan’arf or boiled owl. It really is Wednesday.

Welcome back to the riverside, my chuckaboos. The episodes of this serial keep getting shorter. I’m trying hard to make progress on the novel I began in November. I’m a research geek, and the deplorable Internet service I get from TDS is making my pace a hundred times slower.

Even though this is an extra-short segment, I managed to use one “random reader thing.” It’s goggles from Priscilla Bettis. What could be better for a steampunk story?

Here are links to the past few chapters:

We join Émeraude and Eliza, who are still at the public library in Cairo, Illinois. Without further ado…
