I’m still celebrating New Year’s here at Jazz Age Wednesdays. You see, the pos-i-lutelydarb, Chris Graham, the Story Reading Ape! collaborated on a story with me. Chris started the tale in which my character Pip, and his character Artie get together.

Sharing ideas with “the Ape” was such fun that I couldn’t finish the story in just one episode. In fact, it’s turned into a mini series. Last week, Chris gave this story a great kickoff. (Read it here.) As for my part of the story, I won’t reach the finale until next week. Anyhow, let’s get a wriggle on and go back to Artie and Pip. Or at least to Artie…

Update: I have no idea how WordPress managed to post a duplicate of this… I regret any confusion this caused — particularly if you receive my posts via e-mail. The battle of the WP gremlins continues. Now on with the good stuff.

Flapper Happy New Year champagne red Welcome to Jazz Age Wednesdays here at Teagan’s Books. Many of you celebrated Christmas this week. Now, here we are at the end of 2017. Making it through another year is a real sockdollager — no kidding, it’s a big deal. So, I want to toast all of you sheiks and shebas for visiting me throughout this year.

Hello, everyone! It’s Jazz Age Wednesdays here at Teagan’s Books. I know how busy you must be at this time of year, so I’m even happier to see you.

These midweek posts have been a mix of new and re-shared vignettes. Since several of you sheiks and shebas are new here, I hope no one minds that I’m doing a repeat of my story from a year ago. As for the “Pip-verse” time-line, this one happens after Pip’s adventures in The Three Things Serial Story: A Little 1920s Story but before she went to Savanna to live with Granny Phanny.

Hey Sheiks and Shebas, I’m pos-i-lutely happy to see you at Jazz Age Wednesdays again!

I started this short story back when I did a collaborative post with author John W. Howell*. The three things driving that story were “Counterfeiting, Time, and Hollywood.” The ultimate result was In the Pip of Time, which you saw here.

Like I was saying, that was when this story started, but not when I finished it. I was having one of moments when the many characters I’ve written cross the boundaries of their stories. Cornelis Drebbel (of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers) popped into the short story I was trying to write… I couldn’t make the story go where the “things” needed to take it — at least not at that time. (Applesauce! If that sounds like a lot…
