Book of the Month Update to Jazz Age Wednesdays 8 ― Pip and the Potent Poltergeist

I am late to the reading of this delightful story. Looking forward to more of Pip and her adventures.

Jazz Age Wednesdays 7 ― Pip in the Field of Fear

Totally awesome Teagan!

Wednesday, October 25, 2017

Welcome back to Jazz Age Wednesdays. In celebration of Halloween, I have another new 1920s tale with Pip and company. This time I let search engines guide me to three random things to drive this story ― first Google, then Yahoo, then Bing. I typed in “Halloween,” hit enter, and used the first thing that caught my eye at each. The three things are: candy, fields of fear, and children holding hands.

Pip in the Field of Fear

Peoples Home Journal Halloween 1924 People’s Home Journal, November 1924

As an autumn breeze whistled through the trees as I left the candy store with a white bag of lemon drops. A young man with a motorized bicycle caught my eye. I couldn’t see his face, but I knew only one person who had a contraption like that ― Hank Hertz. He had a passion for all things electronic, especially…

Jazz Age Wednesdays 5 — Pip in the Corn Maze

Great story Teagan! Love this time of year waiting for cooler weather but I will pass on the corn maze. Cruel of you to make Pip keep her adventure to herself.

Welcome to October at Jazz Age Wednesday. I’ve been so busy, I forgot today was Wednesday! However, I’m here now, with something new for the Pip-verse and I’ve gotten all Halloween-ish!

Writing Process

I was honored when Chris Graham*, the Story Reading Ape himself, agreed to do a short story for one of my Get Caught Reading Month posts awhile back. (Check it out here* ― Chris is a fabulous storyteller, and it could be a prequel for the story below.) When I started writing this adventure for Pip, I just wasn’t “feeling it” until I remembered that story from Chris. With his permission, I decided take a cue from his story and bring in one of his “naughty chimp” characters.

About This Story

Welcome back to Jazz Age Wednesday. I’m celebrating a wonderful review of Murder at the Bijou — Three Ingredients I by Molly Flanders!

By Molly Flanders on September 28, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

This is a very enjoyable murder story set in the 1920s. Pip, Granny Phanny and a whole bunch of alliterated characters populate the story of surprisingly strong suspense with equally surprising turns of events.
This is hugely enjoyable and definitely recommended to anyone with a sense of fun and humour.

I loved this book when it was published in parts on the blog and loved it even more re-reading it as a whole in one sitting. Yes, one sitting.

I only now realised just how much work had gone into the individual parts. I often forgot from one week to the next what certain references mean or what they allude to…
