Love the cover Teagan, looking forward to reading the book.
The Characters, Murder at the Bijou
I am so looking forward to seeing all these wonderful characters together in your book.
It’s hump day and I needed a boost to get me through the rest of the week. I avoid midweek posts, but I thought this might give me the lift I need.

Now, that is not the focus of the novella — it is a very small aspect of the story. However, I thought it would be fun to let you know more about it. Science Fiction was coming into its own in the Jazz Age with silent films.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, of course, became famous before the 1920s. He published A Princess of Mars
